The White Wedding
Classical White
After the French Revolution, fashion changed to reflect the new world order. While Ancient Greek ideas of democracy inspired politics, classical white marble sculptures inspired fashion. The colourful brocaded silks of the aristocratic age gave way to white muslin. By the early 1800s, white had become the predominant colour in women’s dress and was a very fashionable choice for all women, including brides.
