   When we think about a wedding, we try remembering the white wedding dress. But, do you know the origin? And why do we choose this colour?

   Although we bear in mind that brides always wear white dress. It is not true, because we have to take into account the different ages and the different cultures. We are going to revise the different changes in the history.

   In the Greece culture the brides wore yellow dress.

   A  lot of years ago, in Rome the brides got married with the same tunic, that they used the rest of the days but they added a purple veil ornamented with flowers.

   In germanic villages, the brides wore a long and black tunic with a red cape.

   In the Middle Ages, they wore red dresses with golden decoration, since they symbolozed their status and power. On the contrary, in the Reanissance the colour was not important at all, but it has to be embroidered with pearls, jewels and diamonds.

   The muslim brides wear black tunic as a purity signal, while chinese and indian brides wear red dresses.

   The wedding dress was white from the ceremony of Queen Victory of England in 1840. She wore a spectacular white dress, which set the trend in fashion until now.

Be Creative My Friend

Have you ever listened this famous Bruce Lee' sentence? One of the best ideas, for saving money, could be create our own decoration. For it, we will start with the most significant ornaments, flowers.

 

 In Greece and in Rome ,the sweethearts (couple lovers) wore flowers around their neck which  symbolized the new life, hope and fertility. These collars necklaces were made of herbs and spices, because thy thought the strong smells owned mystical powers and with them, they could dispel the bad spirits.

A few years after, the knights who participated in the crusades, watched in the brides who lived in the mountains. They were made of orange blossom, which was a purity symbol.

In 1840, when the Queen Victory got married Prince Albert of Sajonia, were used  edible flowers, as calenduda (known as lust herb), and after the bride and groom and the guets ate during the wedding.

 Nowadays , we use different flowers and forms. But, before choosing your wedding buquet,you should take into account the colours. Why? Because they must combine with your hair, skin and eyes, your bridal dress... But the most important, you have to remember that every flower has a meaning. So, what do you want to say?
