With just one week to go until Will and Kate's Big day, I am most excited, predictably, about what she will be wearing (followed by what the female guests will be wearing esp. if there is a hint of bad taste amongst that crowd - what a delight!)
I think most are aware that we have Queen Victoria to credit with what we understand a wedding to be; wedding cakes, dresses and romantic love. Whilst rifling through twitter* I came across this post on why brides wear white. I think its really interesting and would recommend a read. Its from Imprint, it's called "The Bride Wore Chartreuse: Why (Most) Wedding Dresses are White" by Jude Stewart. (There is a link below)
Here is a tiny quote from it, a folk song which I would like to hear set to a banjo, or similar...
"Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you’ll never live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back"
