White satin bridal shoes biography

When Jane Austen’s parents were married in 1764, the bride, Cassandra Leigh, wore a red riding habit to the ceremony. Cassandra was not being eccentric or making a fashion statement. Such dress was perfectly appropriate for a young woman from a genteel but not particularly wealthy family marrying a country parson.
Under such circumstances, the wedding dress was a practical garment, expected to be worn again on many occasions. This explained why black was a general favorite for the lower classes. As for the red wedding dress of the ever practical and thrifty Mrs. Austen, it too was used for many years, before being eventually recut as a riding jacket for her son Francis.
Bridal attire in 18th century France was much the same. White was a mourning color, and brides would wear it when they had recently lost a close relative. Otherwise, they dressed in their best finery, and color was a matter of taste and fashion.
But when in 1840 Queen Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, all of this changed. The wedding was of course a momentous occasion, both politically and in terms of fashion.
The bride wore a gown of white satin, trimmed with white lace matching her veil, and a crown of orange blossoms. The only spot of color was the beautiful sapphire brooch Albert had given her as a wedding present, clearly visible on this portrait by Winterhalter. To learn more about the ceremony, see Elena Maria Vidal’s remarkably detailed post at Tea at Trianon.
Queen Victoria was a trendsetter in this regard and soon white became de rigueur for wedding gowns, at least among the upper classes. In France, though, more practical colors remained popular for those of modest means. My grandmother kept all the wedding pictures of her family, friends and servants, and I remember noticing, as a child, that the latter were easy to identify because the brides wore black gowns, well into the 20th century.
As often, my personal tastes tend towards the 18th century, and I very much like wedding gowns in soft, cheerful colors. What about you?I’ve always found it so interesting that white wasn’t the traditional color of bridal gowns until Queen Victoria wore her dress – I guess in the US girls just grow up dreaming of that white satin gown they will wear on their wedding day. For me, I love the idea of either a soft blue decorated with beautiful off-white lace or a deep, dark green gown. I don’t know why the green, but I think it’s so rich and vibrant. Of course, my mother would gasp in horror at the idea of a dark green wedding gown, so mine was boring ol’ white. Ah well, maybe the dark green for another wedding ;)Having married in the age of pure white gowns for brides and watery Easter-egg pastels for the bridesmaids, I’m all in favor of the shift in colors for modern brides. I like the idea of brides in pink, red, or even formal floral gowns, and I love the black-and-white weddings that are so much in fashion.
In America, most 19th c. brides continued to wear their “best” gown for their wedding, rather than a special white one. Some even had two bodices — a revealing one with a lower neckline for formal evenings, and a more modest version for the wedding, and general day wear to follow. Just like Cassandra Leigh’s red habit, they were wed in something they expected to wear many more times in the future. Makes much more sense than that one-shot all-white princess fantasy.
