The wedding dress as we know it today is more similar to that used in the Middle Ages. At that time, the wedding did not have the characteristics of love and romance that we know today, and was a union of two families, either by economic interests, political or social. The bride at the time represented his family, and more specifically to their status, so in those days, being able to take cocktail dress with sleeves of the features that we know today, represented the economic level it: bring lots of fabrics giving the dress a large volume, include embroidery and beading, gave the dress and who wore a certain status. In the Middle Ages, weddings are held in June, because interestingly, the first swim of the year (and sometimes only), was in the month of May, so early summer, they were still clean (and not smell so bad ), which was more suited to marry a woman who quite possibly had not seen before. The lady, if your husband or companion detaching smelt quite nice, her hair and dress adorned with flowers to mask the smell, and carried a bouquet of flowers with it, for the same reason. Hence we have the bridal bouquet that we know today. Curious, is not it? The church had flowers for the same reason: to prevent unwanted odors, incense was used and adorned with flowers if some attendees were not taken seriously his first swim of the year. You'd think that they should be so guarretes, yes. Both doctors of the time as the church, considered harmful bathing. Believed appropriate to leave a layer of dirt to protect them from disease. And what they did to avoid both bad smell in the air? Piece of cake, stood a thick clothes, and in several layers, and so the stench does not leak. But what if he escaped? I solved with the fan. It was used not so much for warmth as for venting body odor both own or his neighbor. And if the thing was evil, flowers, lots of flowers. With this scenario, every time we see a marriage of medieval atmosphere, we will remember all these details and will want not be an accurate representation of the time. Over subsequent post, we will look back to see the different styles that have marked the time of this precious garment that is the wedding dress.
