Where would you find the most fabulous wedding
dresses ever created?

Where else but in a museum!

Victorian WeddingIn the 18th and 19th centuries brides wore many colors on their wedding day. It was not until the 20th century that white became the traditional color of wedding dresses. A young woman’s wedding dress was a treasured keepsake often packed away in a trunk or chest and preserved within the family for generations. Because these wedding dresses were seldom worn more than once, many of these creations of lace and satin can be found in near perfect condition in the costume collections of  museums. Click to see pictures of the most beautiful wedding dresses ever created. You will be connected to photographs of actual wedding dresses in the collections of museums around the world.
