“Pretty extravagant”: The wedding fashion of the 19th century

The freedom to choose the white dress was limited

Throughout history, weddings have always held a special significance for women, and the anticipation surrounding these events is palpable. Brides aspire to look their best on this important day, and therefore, the selection of a wedding dress is approached with great responsibility. Let’s explore fashionable styles from past centuries.

In modern times, brides have the freedom to choose from a wide range of wedding dress styles, from modest to bold. However, this was not the case in previous eras, where dresses tended to be quite modest.

It was expected for the bride’s legs to be hidden, without allowing anyone to catch a glimpse of the carefully chosen shoes.

To infuse a note of elegance into the dress, various embellishments were introduced, such as ruffles, lace, embroidery, and many more. Fresh flowers were woven into the hair, and real flowers adorned both the attire of the newlyweds and the bride.

“Fashion dictates,” “How elegant newlyweds used to be in the old times,” “Nothing has changed,” “Fashion comes back,” users write on the Network.

Now, I am curious to know, did any of these options catch your attention?
