Bridal Ghagra Collection Biogarphy
Source(google.com.pk)Medieval weddings were mostly arranged and among the nobility, they were more politics than love. The bride's appearance reflected directly on her family, so her ensemble was of rich colours and expensive garments of furs, velvet and silk, no expense spared.
Peasant brides on the other hand wore gowns in greens or blues dyed with woad. For the lower classes, the wedding was still a high occasion and they dressed as formally as money allowed. Humbler fabrics were used, but styles of the nobility were copied as much as possible.
In the 1300's the traditional wedding gown was the cotehardie or 'bold coat'. It was a close-fitting garment, laced in back or front, with long, tight sleeves, and a full slit in front to show the underdress, which also carried a train.
They were made with silk brocades and worn with a gold belt encrusted with jewels. The bride wore a ring representing eternal vows and true love; a brooch as token of her chastity; and a garland worn over loose, flowing hair for virtue.
Royal Traditions
Although bridal white is relatively new, there were historical precedents. Henry IV of England's daughter, Princess Phillipa, wore a tunic and mantle of white satin, edged with velvet and ermine, at her marriage in 1406. Anne of Brittany wore white at her marriage in 1499 while in 1527, Marguerite of Valois married in white ermine and covered by a blue coat with a five-foot train. When Elizabeth of Bohemia married in 1613, she and her maids were robed in white and silver tissue trimmed with silver lace. Her train of silver and sleeves, encrusted with diamonds cost her father James I of England and Scotland a fortune. She wore her hair loose, hanging to her waist, with a crown of gold.
