Here is a photo by Theophile Robaudi called THE YOUNG BRIDE.
Here we see the classical pleated white robe with strings of pearls and a soft yellow veil. Pearls are the oldest known gem and a symbol of purity and perfection.
At Anglo Couture, we have been inspired by the beginning. Here are a few of our favorite Anglo Couture Gowns with a Greek Goddess look:
Ancient Times:
In Greece, they believed that the color white meant it was a time of celebration. So they wore white on their wedding day as an emblem of joy.
In Roman they would pay tribute to Hymen, the god of fertility and marriage, by wearing the color she most favored, white. The Brides' robe would normally be softly pleated white.
Both the Greeks and the Romans would wear flame-colored veils as a sign of modesty.
In Egypt, brides would drape layers of pleated white linen.
