Wedding Dresses History
The wedding dress is a very special piece of clothing. Together with baptism and burial a marriage is one of the three great events in a one’s life. In history women have attempted to make special occasions a time when they dress accordingly and to most women choosing a mother of the groom dresses is one of the most occasions of all. It’s a time for even the ordinary woman to be extraordinary if only for that one day.Royal Princesses have always been looked up to and little girls dream of the handsome Prince that will come and take them away on their white horse. In medieval times royal families married were of great importance because it often built alliances between countries. Therefore, it was up to the bride to represent her country magnificently. In the past when a woman of everyday means could not afford to purchase a flower girl dress with decorations or trim she would choose a plainer wedding dress that may have to become her Sunday best soon after the celebration or even become part of her everyday wardrobe. When you think about it it’s not a bad idea. In this time of going green and recycling perhaps this can be a time to give some thought to what you could do with the wedding dress after the wedding.People in the past did not have the life expectancy that we have today so superstitions about a healthy life were easy to believe. Picking a particular color for the silk pajamas was a source of luck and could guarantee the brides fertility and richness. The deeper shade of red was definitely taboo by Victorian times, with its reference to scarlet women and hussies. Historically that may have been true but in modern times most people may not choose wedding gloves but it would not be frowned up as it was in Victorian times. To this end you may want to be cautious about a color you choose if you are fearful of offending your family.For brides of the lower classes, an extremely common shade of wedding veils was grey, because it was such a useful color to re-use as Sunday best. In Victorian times it became associated with girls in domestic service, as they would often be provided with a new grey dress each year by their employer. Its deeper shade of black was of course banned, with its permanent association with death and mourning. B2C | B2B2C
