    The Wedding Dress - Το Νυφικό

    The Wedding Dress
    Το Νυφικό




    Το νυφικό
    Μια μικρή καθώς ήταν σε ένα γάμο ρωτάει τη μαμά της:
    - Μαμά, γιατί το νυφικό της νύφης είναι άσπρο;
    - Επειδή το άσπρο είναι το χρώμα το ευτυχίας και επειδή αυτή η μέρα είναι η
    πιο ευτυχισμένη της ζωής της φοράει το άσπρο φόρεμα για να το συμβολίσει.

    Και τότε το κορίτσι απορημένο ρωτάει:
    - Και τότε μαμά, γιατί ο γαμπρός φοράει μαύρα;;;

    Queen Victoria's 1840 wedding attire.


    The Bridal Gown

    Wedding gowns have not always been elaborate, as many are today. In the eighteenth century, poor brides dressed in simple robes. This symbolized to her future husband that she brought nothing with her into the marriage and would therefore not burden him with any debt. It wasn't until the mid nineteenth century that the all-white wedding dress became fashionable. Up until then a bride simply wore her best dress, regardless of its color. In 1840, Queen Victoria's pure white gown started the trend that many women follow today.

    Victoria was quite the pioneer; she chose to be married in a white gown, eschewing the traditional silver garb commonly worn by royals. Her choice had a far-reaching impact that even she couldn't have foreseen. After her wedding, white not only became the "official" color for brides-to-be; it also became a symbol of wealth, as few women could afford an elaborate white dress that couldn't easily be reused.

    These days, the white wedding gown has become a symbol of joy and celebration. In the past, the white gown also carried with it the connotation of purity, youth and virginity. Needless to say, this has changed, and many second-time brides are now choosing to wear white for their weddings.

                            Queen Victoria

                            The wedding of Queen Victoria had more of an impact than most and actually started an entirely new trend when she decided not to wear the traditional royal silver bridal gown.

                            Instead Queen Victoria gave the white wedding dress completely new meaning and symbolism when she married her beloved Prince Albert in a simple dress, made of white satin, trimmed with Honiton lace, with Honiton long veil and a wreath of orange blossoms to represent purity.

                            It was then that white became the dominant, traditional choice, symbolizing purity and maidenhood.

                              he bridal image has not always been white. Wedding dresses were virtually any color in the 1800’s, said Phyllis Magidson, the curator of ”New York Gets Married.”

                              ”It was simply the best dress your family had to offer, meant to be worn at special occasions thereafter,” she said. A very wealthy woman might have her gown made at Maison Worth in Paris, where a dress could cost as much as a middle-class person’s salary for a year, but for most people, Ms. Magidson added, ”wearing something that was specifically and solely intended to be worn for the wedding — the concept that we have of being a fairy princess — is a fairly contemporary perception.”
