Wedding Dress
The wedding dress has changed in style and fashion throughout the ages. During the medieval period, when a wedding was a matter of politics above all else, brides had to dress in a way that would best reflect their families. The higher the social standing of the bride, the richer the colors and the more expensive the fabrics used. Fur, velvet and silk were often incorporated into the design. The styles and colors of the wealthier brides were copied by the brides of lower social standing as best as they could.
Even though centuries passed and styles came and went, brides continued to dress in the most fashionable clothes, made from the richest and boldest materials that money could buy. Another factor indicative of the wealth and social standing of the bride was the amount of material used. Those who couldn’t afford anything new wore their best church dress on their wedding day.
