A HISTORY of WEDDINGS

When, during medieval times, marriages represented not only the joining of two people but of two families, or even two countries, it was necessary for the bride to dress to impress, meaning layering on the bling…not just jewels, but the costliest furs and materials that could be found, as she was representing her noble lineage.

So were introduced the first wedding gowns…the richer and more powerful the bride’s family, the wider the sleeves and the longer the train.

Obviously, those on the lower social rungs attempted to copy the richies until…well, everyone’s wedding gowns were long and flowing.

It wasn’t until Queen Victoria chose to wear white to her wedding to Prince Albert that the color became the most popular choice for wedding gowns. Until then it wasn’t thought to represent brides or purity—blue was!

But white has stood for brides ever since, and we have the Victorians to thank for it…along with the concept of evolution, free public education, and don’t forget Jack the Ripper!
