By wearing a historical wedding dress for your wedding is a great way to recapture a bygone era. Aside from that, it can also help your wedding look unique by having a particular theme in the dresses worn by you, your bridegroom and your guests.
If you’re thinking of having a history-themed wedding but are unsure of the design of that era, then the list below can give you ideas. They are some of the most popular historical costumes that people wear in their weddings.
- Medieval – fancy a Lord of the Rings-themed wedding? Then having medieval costumes for everybody will surely fit the occasion. This type of theme hearkens back to the times of the Dark Ages and brides could use this as a symbol that they have finally found their knight in shining armor. And by the way, the armor is optional for the groom.
- Early 20th Century – bring everyone back to the time when jazz was at its height of popularity and the Great Depression was still a decade away. Brides would look great by wearing some of the most popular designs at the time: a spaghetti-strapped and high-waist dress with lace draped over the bust.
- Renaissance – celebrate the rebirth of knowledge and beauty with Renaissance-themed dresses. This theme is popular among couples who want to look just like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Now they don’t have to be star-crossed lovers to wear this one.
- Elizabethan – this type of theme is fit for couples who wish to look regal in their wedding. The dresses of this period display the opulence of the era. That is why fabrics such as silk are often used in Elizabethan dresses.
So if you’re looking to have a history-themed wedding, we advice that you go look for them in specialty shops or have one custom-made for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re aiming for historical accuracy or just a dress that looks almost like the ones made in the period of your choice; a really good seamstress will be able to do the job for you.
Also remember that historical wedding dresses can be expensive. So if you just want a simple wedding or if you are on a tight budget, you might have to think twice before having a dress of this type.
