A Renaissance Wedding Dress For The Bride Who Loves The Romance From The Renaissance Era Of Long Ago

The Renaissance was an amazing time in our history. It is a time that was rich in tradition, culture, and forward thinking. In fact, it is looked at as a time in human history that we should cherish and be proud of because of the examples of human greatness that emerged in those years.

A renaissance wedding gown is generally a two piece garment. Basically you have a simple and lightweight chemise as the bottom layer. This chemise is generally long sleeved and flows down to your ankles. You can find a chemise that is simple or elaborate. It really depends on what you want for your big day. Some of the most common enhancements are lace, ribbons, or simple beading. The second piece of a renaissance wedding dress is the overdress which is also known as a frock. A frock is generally sleeveless, and will allow the chemise to show through. Sometimes you can find frocks with sleeves or even detachable sleeves if you like.

If you want a crisp look to your renaissance wedding gown you may want to look at choosing a linen chemise that features big bell sleeves. If you want to have a Highland theme you may want to use a nice plaid as an accent. This can be great for a fall or even for a wedding around the holiday.

If that is not the look that you want for your renaissance dress there are other options. For example, if you are looking for a very traditional look you might want to choose a garment that is white or cream in color. Generally traditional gowns also featured rich looking brocades, jacquards, or are even made of rich velvet. Traditionally, you would pair this with a chemise that is either satin or silk. This will give your renaissance dress a very luxurious look and feel. Gowns like this are also quite beautiful with a lace or ribbon accent.

If you want a bit more modern look you could look at choosing a chemise that contrasts the color of the frock. This can be quite beautiful and different from a traditional renaissance wedding dress. You may even want to choose a contrasting ribbon accent to give yourself a bit of drama for your big day.

For brides that are not sold on the idea of wearing white for their wedding day a renaissance wedding dress can provide an opportunity to have some fun with color. This can be especially beautiful in the spring and fall. If you choose a gown that is made out of velvet in a rich jewel tone like a green, burgundy, or blue it can be quite beautiful. This is especially true if you pair that rich frock with a contrasting chemise in a lighter color like butter yellow, cream, or even silver.

The key with a renaissance wedding dress, just as with any gown is to stay true to your personal style. Choose a gown that you look good in, and that you feel beautiful wearing. If you do that you are sure to stop people in their tracks as you walk by on your wedding day.
