Perhaps, nor to one of its own, the girl does not belong as much as a wedding dress. Modern brides are trying to choose a wedding dress and accessories to him long before the celebration, dreaming to be the most irresistible on the day of marriage. HISTORY OF WEDDING DUST Amazing and very interesting. Some, especially curious facts with the history of the wedding dress, we suggest to read.

Peasant girls 17-19 centuries They began to prepare themselves dodged to the wedding, including a wedding dress, immediately, as soon as the necessary sewing skills were obtained (sometimes the cloth for clothing they had to not buy, but to do everything themselves - growing flax, spin and weave). Also in Russia there was a tradition to transfer a wedding dress from the mother to her daughter, because the woman could wear it only once in his life

Note that traditional russian dress The bride was redSince he symbolized the beauty and fertility of a woman. White wedding dresses appeared only in the 17-18 century in Europe. In Russia, a woman in a white robe was considered "Bride Christ", that is, she had to leave the worldly life and go to the monastery.

A traditional wedding dress was not always like now - with the course of time, the morals and fashion changed, and with them - color, cutting, style of the wedding dress.

IN Ancient Greece , the springchalter of the European wedding dress, the bride was put on a long light dressBastened on the shoulders ("Peplos"). White color of the groom and the bride was a symbol of youth and purity, and a laurel wreath on the girl's head pointed on her chastity. In general, the ancient Greeks most appreciated the simplicity and harmony of lines in the clothes.

IN Ancient Egypt The bride from the chest to the ankle is climbed (or rather, they wrapped) in a long piece of matter on strap. The main role in the costume of Egyptians was not a dress, but a variety of decorations with religious symbolism - bracelets, beads, pendants, rings, tiaras and belts.

In the era of the Middle Ages The era of asceticism was replaced by the culture of beauty and sensuality of the human body. Dresses began to do from heavy fabrics, fully closing the figure. The beauty of the body began to be considered sinful, and the pleasure of it is forbidden. Heavy, fully closed wedding dresses (sometimes with high collars) were a variety different colors and shades, they were richly decorated with embroidery, golden threads, precious stones and pearls. So for the wedding, the woman was still chosen the best and expensive outfits.

But the desire of a woman looks attractive for the opposite sex is impossible to eradicate, so already in Epoch of late Middle Ages (14-15th century) There was some mitigation of harsh morals and clothes became more fitting. In Europe, women wore long, narrow dresses from brocade or velvet with plenty of fasteners - such clothes made quite difficult movements. On the wedding of the bride of the pore walked in scarlet, red or purple dresses. The deep decollete, loops and veils, as well as long, to the floor, sleeves with slots in the middle are entered.

In the Renaissance EpochThe wedding dress began to take into account the proportions of the body and its natural bends. On top it delicately fits female figurewithout fighting movements, and from the waist disperse with light folds. Gorgeous dresses From the snow-white satin or silver brocade was expanded by pearls and precious stones. The brides of the Renaissance era wore a lot of pearl ornaments and walked him into their hair, as it was believed that he strengthens family bonds.

Through the century in Rococco Epoch, the cut of the dresses was complicated, many appeared additional details and winding forms. High wigs, fused hairstyles, huge hats, deep necklates and corsets firmly entered the fashion first in France, and then throughout Europe. Crinolines dresses are decorated with lace, ribbons, bows and flowers. Length of the wedding dress stored pointed on social status Bride. The era of playful artificiality has come, which women were supposed to support.

By the way, fashion on white wedding dresses, one of the versions, introduced Anna Austrian - Her snow-white divergent outfit was so good that all the secular ladies of France. And then and other European countries, began to repeat over it. According to another version, it did Queen Victoria in the middle of the 17th century. However, in any case, white color Wedding dresses over time became traditional, symbolizing the impossibility of the bride.

In the late 18th early 19th centuries There was another change of tastes - the Ampire style revived the ancient severity of the forms. In the fashion, there were dresses on a shape of a ton flowing fabric with an overpriced waist. A deep neckline emphasizes the shape of the chest, and short sleeves open shoulders. Basic matter for wedding dress - white atlas and transparent fabric descending over it. The obligatory accessory of the bride becomes white gloves to the elbow. The image of the bride embodies romanticism and ease.

True, by the mid-19th century, a subseasured crinoline joined the fashion. Wedding dress decorate numerous bows, lace and frills. With the help of a special pad or framework, the back of the dress visually increased.

By the end of the 19th century Fashion again made a steep turn - now the bride is banging in a comfortable elegant dress with a high neckline and a slightly curved bottom. Embroidery, bows and crinolines are becoming irrelevant.

In 20th century Many changes have happened to the wedding dress. Beginning since the beginning of the century and before the 1960s The length of the wedding dress has steadily decreased, especially with the advent of radical and daring for those times mini. The ideal of beauty, which means, the kind of wedding dress, also changed repeatedly.

In the 20s This is a teenage girl in a modest dress with a low waist and a hat-bowler.

in the 30s femininity comes to her .

In the 40sclothes again becomes more strict, with straight clear lines.

IN 50s Easy, romantic image again in fashion. Christian Dior, the then fashion legislator, clothes women in the proliced \u200b\u200bmidi dresses with a lush skirt.

In the 60sThe 20th century dresses are in short and acquire a concise form - without decorations and unnecessary parts.

Hippie Style 70s The folklore motifs and addiction to knitted things introduced the years. After the 80s For a short time, the style of Retro long existed, and then it changed his comfortable sporty style clothing - a symbol of independence, a confident life position and an active lifestyle.

Fashion 21 century on wedding dresses It became very flexible - now it is connected and mixed literally all the styles and directions from Rococo to the avant-garde. The choice of color and cutting the wedding dress now entirely depends on the taste of the girl, her mood and fantasy. On the day of the wedding, depending on what kind of dress it would choose, the bride can appear in front of the bride and guests in almost the forehead image - from an antique goddess or a air dreamers to a modern business woman.

How could a girl be able to show interest if you could not communicate with a young man? What could she leave the chosen one as a sign of attention? Why could the wedding be canceled, even if the groom was rich and liked to parents? Specialist in the exposure and exhibition activities Museum-Reserve "Kolomenskoye" Olga Vorobyva revealed the magazine Wedding. All wedding secrets of the XIX century.

Acquaintance

Usually the acquaintance of the bride and the bride took place on the ball. In the first half of the XIX century, Maria Ivanovna Rimskaya-Korsakov was the legislation of balls in Moscow. She arranged the evening almost every day - they visited them every self-respecting nobleman, she had even Pushkin. So Rimskaya-Korsakov tried to find a suitable batch for his daughters.

And, of course, the girls needed to dress fashionably (in order to marry a tender). On the balas were popular white dresses. The mandatory accessory were gloves, mostly long - to send a hand without a glove was considered indecent. It was impossible to talk with young people, so the girls communicated with the help of a fan. Fully revealed fan meant that the girl is delighted with the young man, closed - that he is indifferent to her. In addition, the girl could leave the cavaller's handkerchief, "by chance" his throwing.

Matchmaking

After dating the groom came to the house to the bride with gifts - to wrap. Usually it was a box with jewelry decorations - Gold bracelets, earrings, hats pins. The groom tried in every way to show his location and its status.

Another important part of the preparation for the wedding - blessing parents. Guests were invited to this event: friends and relatives. Usually, the blessing was made by an icon of the Savior, the Kazan Mother of God or other particularly revered in the family - it was believed that the marriage would be happy, and his offspring is healthy.

"Now parents are more likely to learn about the decision to get married as a fact," says Olga.

Dowry

On the day of the engagement, the "painting of the dowry" document was described that there was a bride - an image, fur coats, capes, chests, decorations. The dowry was preparing in advance and sent several carriages to the groom's house.

It is interesting! Elizabeth Ivanovna Benardaka from the genus of the first millionaires in Russia, which began in Taganrog, helped some brides with dowry so that they successfully married. Historians write that she was "deposit to the State Bank 10 thousand rubles So that interest from this capital is issued once a year five poor bride maiden in the city of Taganrog, mostly from the Greeks. "

Watching did not always go smoothly - the groom or his status could not like the parents. There were cases when the wedding was almost held, but at the last minute I became known that the bride was a relative of the bride or already married.

"... she didn't like her first," the other was not in the ranks and did not like the mother, the third was really liked and the one and the other was already done, and the wedding day was appointed, but on the eve, they learned to surprise that he was found In close relative, everything was upset ... ".

In the XIX century, bachers and bachelides were also satisfied. The writer Maria Kamenskaya recalls that the day before the girl girl went with the bride into the bath, and then sang wedding songs, drank, spruce and danced. Bachelor Party passed more restrained - The groom collected friends, and they were genuine conversations. At the peasants, the bachelorette party passed differently: the girl was mourned, symbolizing her transition to new status married woman.

Dress

Until the XIX century, in Europe, they were crowned in colorful dresses - red, green or blue. In Russia, this was chosen the most elegant dress, fashionable in the noble environment. But in 1840, the English Queen Victoria got married and suddenly decided to choose a white dress for the ceremony and decorate it with a veil and lace, thereby introducing this outfit in the wedding fashion.

Dresses were ordered in Western Europe. The order of royal persons asked, and the nobility, merchants and the peasantry picked up.

Then there was no mass production, so all sewed to order. One of the dresses, which can be seen at the exhibition, sewn in 1914 in New York, shoes are made from a similar material. By the way, for this dress sewed and stockings, and they were stored in special envelopes from the same material.

Veil

It is interesting! Tradition to wrap the bride with a dense bedspread appeared in ancient Greece and Rome. It was believed that Fata would shut the bride from the unkind views of envious, the evil eye and damage. In the future, the bedspread was transformed into a long veil. It was believed that the future spouse could see the person of the disclosure only after the wedding, and the bride's face was closed by Fat, so that the bridegroom did not change his mind, seeing the appearance of the future wife.

Cape, Belgium. XVIII century

Besides Fata, in the XIX century there were other wedding accessories. One of them is a pearl fan, on which the riders are cut out. Such is in the Hermitage collection - it was made to the wedding of the Great Princess Mary Alexandrovna with the Duke of Edinburgh, which took place in 1874 in St. Petersburg. At the exhibition in Kolomensky, there is almost the same fan, only one dove is depicted on it instead of two. Perhaps the accessory was made to the wedding of someone from the royal family.

Lace

In England, there is a sign that the wedding day on the bride should be "something old, something new, something taken off and something blue" ("Something Old and Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue") .

Something old is lace, which was inherited from grandmothers. They were very expensive - some more precious than gold. Wedding dress American actress Grace Kelly (she married in 1956) was decorated with lace who had more than 100 years. Lace is well preserved, so often in antique shops you can find whole laces from unaccustomed dresses.

New is the jewelry donated with the bridegroom. Queen Victoria Seven years after the wedding ordered a portrait on which she was depicted in a wedding dress and brooches, which her husband presented her.

As for the bribe, a good note was considered to lend something at the girlfriend, and something blue is a tribute for the same fashion when the dresses of this color were popular. It was believed that the blue color is heavenly, the color of the Virgin, and he must bring happiness.

Lace spilled special devices - coclushkami. On the portrait of "Lace" of the tropinine depicts French bumps, because, most likely, the lace worked at the nobles. From Russian lace we know only Vologda, although there were many centers of lace-haired. Even if our laces did a thin beautiful lace, it was still put in a box from under French and issued for foreign ones - it was thought that it was better than Russian.

On the wedding day, the groom through the Swash or aunt sent the bride "Groom's box" with hotels and wedding accessories - Fata, wedding rings, crowded candles, perfumes, pins. Having received a gift, the bride's aunt began to wear the young to the crown.

Already very soon we will see one of these dresses on Megan Plant, the bride of Prince Harry, and she will probably look amazing in it. In the meantime, we will make the excursion in the past and admire the chic outfits of the XIX century brides.

And let's start, perhaps, with the princess of Wales, Charlotte ...

Charlotte Augustus Wales

In 1816, Princess married Prince Leopold Saxen-Koburgsky. We can say that all Britain looked forward to this wedding. The fact is that I married not just Charlotte, Princess Wales. In addition to her, George III did not have any more grandchildren or granddaughters. Therefore, it was with Charlotte that the hopes for the continuation of the dynasty were associated. The wedding was celebrated very widely - the whole country walked.

« ... Her dress was a silver lame on a thin grid, on top of a thick-strained dresses with silver, with a pea, embroidered silver sinks and flowers. The corsage and the sleeves were harmonized with each other and were elegantly decorated by Brussels lace. The mantle was made of silver fabric on a lining from white atlas, with an embroidered cart, harmonized with embroidery on a dress, and fastened ahead of a magnificent diamond clasp. So there was a bride dress ...».

But on joint happiness, the newlyweds were laid out a little more than a year - Charlotte died in childbirth.
She did not die at 21, the rules would be by England after her father and grandfather (King George III). However, the history of Britain went on another way - no Queen Charlotte rose to the throne, and Queen Victoria ...

The outfit of the future Queen was sewn from the satin and decorated with exquisite lace, over which over six months worked more than a hundred lace. After the wedding ceremony, all lace samples were destroyed.

Victoria so described his outfit: " I was dressed in a white satin dress with lace, imitating old models. Jewels were minimal: My Turkish diamond necklace and earrings, as well as a beautiful sapphire brooch, which my dear Albert gave me".

This dress has decisively affected the wedding fashion - since then the traditional color of the dress of the bride became white. Today, this dress can be admired in the Kensington Palace.

The brides of all time wanted to be at the wedding themselves were the most beautiful and sought to have a unique outfit. Fashion centuries changed, and each of her turns left unique wedding dresses in memory. But time goes like a spiral.

And today the fashion features of the Middle Ages and the Epoch of Enlightenment appear, and the 19th century wedding dress sets the tone to many copyright collections. And this is not surprising, because knowing the trends of the past, you can create a unique image and conduct a unique wedding ceremony, so I will open the story pages.

Dresses for brides in the old style - model from the Middle Ages

The appeal of girls to the historical forms of dresses is based on their idea of \u200b\u200bthe ideal wedding of the past, a picture of a magnificent celebration on the Lon of unique architecture, nature and the unique situation of that time.

What is harmonious and brighter seem to them this celebration, the more specifically the image of the bride is evaporated. The choice of the place of the ceremony is played. Some prefer holidays on nature using thematic entourage, some are not averse to be married under the arrangements of real old castles or in the palace. Today, the choice is almost unlimited.

Choosing one or another historical style, it is definitely important to know the knowledge of its features. This will allow not only to reliably sew a wedding dress under the order, but also to take into account the historical moments of the organization of the thematic celebration, this is especially true of the distant centuries.

Wedding outfits of the XIV-XV centuries distinguishes special closeness. It is due to a religious moment: at that time, obscene was considered to be exposed to the body, and the fashion followed this covenant. Dresses should also show the belonging of the girl to a specific class or even the genus. Hence the combination of specific colors taken from the coat of arms and family flags.

Moreover, it concerned not only rich nobles and royal people. In the Middle Ages, the color classification of streets existed in large trading and handicraft cities, a simple person during weddings was pleased to them.

The dresses of representatives of the nobility had the following features:

• mandatory length in the floor, with a possible small loop;
• long sleeves collapsed from elbows, sometimes reaching the knees;
• narrowed with a waist corset;
• the presence of capes, fully covering the head of the bride;
• expensive, heavy fabrics;
• precious stones and embroidery as decorative elements (can cover the whole dress);
• mandatory use of family colors.

The dress of medieval brides had a slightly lowered gate, the girl's neck was often decorated with a gem necklace or ardble beads.

The choice of stones not only depended on the color of the dress, but also was a symbol of the genus on the female line.

Dress of burghers and middle class:

• lush multilayer dress of straight cut, maxi max;
• several sense;
• closed top, collar is possible;
• mandatory hatching cap with postponed edges on the head, in England Cap-cap;
• a small veil or loop can be retrounted from both the gate and the head of the head.
• fur and embroidery as a scenery.

The wedding ceremony necessarily contained two colors - from the genus of the groom and from the genus of the bride.

In some countries, by custom, the bride after the ceremony was obliged to change his dress on the outfit in the color range of the family of the groom, thereby showing that it became part of a new family.

The XVI century has made its own adjustments. In Europe, wedding dresses change the shape of the sleeves, the gate, parts of the corset, new stamps of the cap appear. Unified common interethnic features are:

• narrow sleeves before wrist with lace rollers around the perimeter of the cuff (a sleeve lantern was used near the shoulders in some countries);
• underlined by the V-shaped line transition from skirt to the waist;
• collar-Gangol lush about round shape, the most embracing neck of the girl (it is possible to combine with a high expanded gate);
• hairstyle with a grid for hairstyles (in some shapes used tape covering chin);
• in addition to the old decorative elements, lush feathers and soft swan fluff are introduced.

Only the royal parties could afford to wear a little ajar styles with a dress.However, even their zone decolte could be easily hidden by a veil or cape. The XVII century - a century of new views on the Mir- Opened fashionistas the opportunity to expose a little hands.

Allowed the length of ¾, with lace cuffs. The V-shaped waist is spinning. A lush round shape collar exists along with a new high postponed option.

In France, Italy and the Netherlands, girls are permanently to the nape or fully exposed to the head.

Figure includes veils, complex on weaving hairstyles. The hair is often decorated with alive flowers, feathers, ribbons, jewels. New decorative elements, such as chains and bows are added.

Wedding Dresses The XVII century is distinguished by a special flavor. The fashion includes bright colors Gold, ivory, rose, blue, blue, and even motley options. The mandatory element remains veil or veil. Its fastening depends on the head of the bride.

Also changing the cut skirt. The pomp is created at the expense of a special attitude or frame. Depending on its shape, a dress can change the style. Interesting are cascading dresses in which top Material falls by waves. An integral part of each image of the bride becomes paper or fabric fan. XVII century dresses - chic and luxury standard. They are volumetric, majestic and very roads. The cost of the wedding dress could reach incredible sizes.

Some outfits cost as an estate with land, peasants and servants in addition.

For two centuries - XVIII and XIX - the styles were modified twice as much as in previous times. Here are just the most famous transfiguration of wedding dresses for all these years. After lush dear dresses Baroque Stamps of the XVIII century go to the sophisticated luxury, which is a similarity of porcelain statuette. To some extent, this was caused by fashion on Chinese ceramics and painting.

Following this, the hem is extended, the loop is added directly to the skirt. His length depended on the knowledge of the girl.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe gate has undergone significant changes. Now he is sinking in small lace folds and breaking his shoulders and the chest of beauties. Its form is either a soft oval, or a rectangle.

A fan remains an unchanged element of the wedding dress. At that time it was not just the subject of the wardrobe, but the real means for communication. There was a whole language of gestures, the transfer of which took place with the help of a fan.

The end of the eighteenth, the beginning of the nineteenth century became the time of archaeological discoveries. Pompeii were opened. This event was fundamentally influenced by returning the aesthetic values \u200b\u200bof antiquity and transforming outfits of girls around the world.
