For example, in the 1920s, they were typically short in the front with a longer train in the back and were worn with cloche-style wedding veils. This was also adopted in wedding dresses, where decorative frills and lace was common. In the early 1900s, clothing included a lot of decorations, such as lace or frills.
Įven after white became the dominant color, for a period, wedding dresses were adapted to the styles of the day. Later, many people assumed that the color white was intended to symbolize virginity, though this was not the original intention: it was the color blue that was connected to purity, piety, faithfulness, and the Virgin Mary. Illustrations of the wedding were widely published, and many brides opted for white in accordance with the Queen's choice. White became a popular option in 1840, after the marriage of Queen Victoria to Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, when Victoria wore a white gown trimmed with Honiton lace. This was not a widespread trend, however: prior to the Victorian era, a bride was married in any color, black being popular in Finland. Mary, Queen of Scots, wore a white wedding dress in 1559 when she married her first husband, Francis, the Dauphin of France, because it was her favorite color, although white was then the color of mourning for French queens. The first documented instance of a princess who wore a white wedding dress for a royal wedding ceremony is that of Philippa of England, who wore a tunic with a cloak in white silk bordered with squirrel and ermine in 1406, when she married Eric of Pomerania. The amount and the price of material a wedding dress contained was a reflection of the bride's social standing and indicated the extent of the family's wealth to wedding guests. The poorest of brides wore their best church dress on their wedding day. Brides dressed in the height of current fashion, with the richest materials their families' money could buy. It was common to see them wearing bold colors and layers of furs, velvet and silk. Brides from wealthy families often wore rich colors and exclusive fabrics. Brides were therefore expected to dress in a manner that cast their families in the most favorable light and befitted their social status, for they were not representing only themselves during the ceremony.
Many weddings were more a matter of politics than love, particularly among the nobility and the higher social classes. They could be a union between two families, two businesses or even two countries. Weddings performed during and immediately following the Middle Ages were often more than just a union between two people. Until the late 1960s wedding dresses reflected the styles of the day since then they have often been based on Victorian styles. In Eastern cultures, brides often choose red to symbolize auspiciousness. In Western cultures and Anglo-Saxon cultural spheres, the wedding dress is most commonly white, a fashion made popular by Queen Victoria when she married in 1840. The color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants. "I’d marry him in a heartbeat any day.A wedding dress or bridal gown is the dress worn by the bride during a wedding ceremony. "He was so nervous-even after about 10 years together-he forgot to give a speech, but there was no need," says Catherine.
Tom insisted they return to the exact same spot the next day, and Catherine knew something was up, especially when he continued to frantically check his pockets "100 times." Tom finally got down on one knee at the cliff's edge. "Even though I not-so-secretly knew it was coming, I was dying to know how he would pop the question." Lo and behold, the couple stumbled upon a breathtaking set of cliffs overlooking the ocean while visiting Nusa Ceningan, an island in Bali. Almost 10 years later, Tom proposed in March 2017-and by that time, Catherine was totally anticipating it! "We live on a sailboat and the ring had been sitting basically in the open for six months," she says. But, long story short, the two first crossed paths at summer camp in 2008 on Catalina Island, California, and were soon high school sweethearts. Catherine and Tom Rex-Goad recall different versions of their first encounters.
