Victorian Weddings Make A Memorable Day

Victorian weddings are all about opulence, class and romance. Since that era was very fancy, it calls for a lot of showy details like lace, bows, roses and flowery fine china.The wedding customs of today basically come from the Victorian Days, including the tradition of wearing a white wedding gown. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840. She wore a white wedding gown and changed the tradition and it still applies today. In her day it didn’t represent purity. What it really meant was that you had money and status.
