The Old Ways of Wedding Gowns
As it is really meticulous to select and prepare most wedding gowns, brides all over mostly take their time to decide the design that they truly want. But do you know that back in the olden days when all fabrics were hand spun, woven and dyed, only the privilege folks such as the rich and part of the royal family could wear the most creative design in wedding gowns and custom bridal jewelry?
Probably there are others from the middle class folks who could also create great designs for their wedding gowns, but since fabrics were also expensive and most colors limited, their creation may not be what they really hoped for.
When a princess marries to another royal, her wedding dress contains expensive colors of red, purple, and true black-dyes. The gown would be really long and gown would have as much as many precious gems that it could hold.
The middle class at that time would copy the royals and would used silk fabrics and some lesser gems for their wedding gowns. The, they will complete their ensemble with their own version of bridal jewelry and fox fur or rabbit fur to impress their guests.
Good that we are already in an era that fabrics can easily be available no matter the class is. We can create beautiful gowns without copying to what others are wearing. Uniqueness has made these era a much better time to marry!
