The Way We Wed: A History of Wedding Fashion presents styles and
stories from the Renaissance to the present day, chronicling
evolving fashions as well as changing customs, lifestyles, and
values. And because all wedding attire has a tale to tell, The Way
We Wed also reveals fascinating personal stories of those who wore
it. While the book is a visually and thematically rich source of
bridal inspiration for all seasons, it's far from a monotonous
parade of white gowns. The long white wedding dress is a relatively
recent innovation popularized by Queen Victoria; it has
traditionally been reserved for the upper classes, and abandoned in
times of war, economic hardship, or mourning. The Way We Wed
showcases wedding gowns of all colors and styles from around the
world, as well as going-away dresses, accessories (shoes, veils,
hats, fans, and tiaras), and clothes worn by flower girls,
bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, and grooms. Same-sex weddings
are represented, and the book features celebrity brides (Angelina
Jolie, Frida Kahlo, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana, Martha
Washington, Solange Knowles, Ellen DeGeneres, Meghan Markle) as
well as everyday anonymous couples. Illustrated with 100 gorgeous
photos, The Way We Wed is a rich celebration of the art of wedding
fashion across time and cultures, and those whose style and
circumstances made a statement.
