The
wedding dress you will wear will probably be much different from the
past, as it will be much different from the ones women will wear in the
future. For the late 18th
century, women should chose their wedding dress in such a way that it
can be worn later in life. Since
women dresses are expensive and difficult to obtain, you will want to
have your dress designed in a way that can be worn again 50.
In order to be a fashionable lady of the late 18th
century, you can either wear a wedding dress that is white, silver, or
blue. At this time, all
three colors are common among brides. From the beginning of the
18th century to the end, the fashion style of a women's wedding dress
has not changed much. However,
it has been predicted that white will be the only popular color starting
sometime in the 19th century and will only be worn once.
In addition to color, your dress should have elbow-length sleeves
with falling cuffs, and have lots of pleats in the back of the dress 51.
Your groom may wish to consult his local tailor for advise for
his wedding attire, but nonetheless there are certain guidelines he
should follow. For the most
part, most bridegrooms will want to match their bride in that they are
elegantly dressed in splendor fashion.
Most men wear silk suits for the occasion with an embroidered
waistcoat. These too are
usually worn at events in addition to the wedding.
