Many women are keen on wearing unique wedding dresses of old world glamour to their modern wedding ceremony. For this reason, the writer here will introduce the Victorian wedding dress.
The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria’s reign from June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. The reign was a long period of prosperity for the British people. Then wedding dresses were extremely different from what you see today.
A standard Victorian informal wedding dress was elegant yet simple, often ivory instead of pure white. Often a wide gathered skirt was attached, with plenty of petticoats and a hoop worn underneath to present the full skirted look popular in the late 1800s to early 1900s. The neckline of the dress was often bordered with handmade lace, arranged in a ruffle to add some extra beauty to the look. While the Victorian bride often looked slender beneath her layers of satin, it was often not without effort, as many of these dresses contained a back laced bodice that was cinched tightly with a corset worn underneath.
Victorian period saw the dawn of the industrial age, the contemporary bride will still be blushing and elegant in this modern-day Victorian wedding dress when she makes her date at the altar and see her at the dawn of her new life.
