A Medieval Wedding Dress

 

Medieval weddings are very romantic with most couples chosing the royal theme. This theme is typically full of rich fabrics and elaborate touches. This means that authentic dresses can be very heavy, which may not be ideal if you are getting married in the height of Summer! However, many specialist Medieval wedding dress designers make their dresses in lighter fabric.

Specialist Designer - Rivendell Bridal

One such specialist designer is Emily Rossiter from Rivendell Bridal. Emily, who is based in Somerset, takes inspiration for her gowns from medieval, elvish, fairy & ethereal themes. Rivendell Bridal offer a bespoke design service.

Themed Wedding

To take the medieval theme to its full, the men should be wearing doublets with breeches & gentlemens' hosiery whilst the women should wear juliet-style dresses in deep red and gold or even in silver. Many medieval dresses have heavily boned corsets with dropped waist bands from which the skirt then flows fully.

Ideal for Winter Weddings

Medieval wedding dresses lend themselves beautifully to winter weddings as many of them have long sleeves and they can also be teamed up with beautiful capes, though they can just as easily be worn during the summer as the dresses can be made sleevless or with very sheer sleeves.
