Modern American Bride ~ The Bold and the Beautiful love Luxury Accessory

From the 1960's and beyond, among the “Fun and Flirty” looks that new Bridal Fashion has adopted is the Statement Dress, Tee Shirt Gown, Top Hat and Tails, the Caftan, Native American and the Palazzo pant.  With all, the preference for wearing Silk has remained the fabric that most completely brings out the Romantic Heart of a woman. 

An ethereal vision…the Silk Chiffon Shawl blowing in the wind strikes a magical pose with its muted tones of dark and sky blue, chartreuse green and purple accented with gold.  For the daring bride, a printed shawl can be something new, inventive, bold or simply a soft and whispered statement of beauty.  Set against endless blue, the blues and greens of White Stole's "Gisele" Shawl almost trumps the sky itself.

Whether wearing strands of diamonds and pearls, vivid tangerine or chartreuse silk chiffon, silk emerald green jersey trimmed in beads, pink flamingo, deep ruby red, pure black, or plaid, the Modern Bride intuitively understands the mantra of Oleg Cassini ~ “Do something you will be really proud of ~ make a unique statement!”

Tieing  the “Wedding Knot” means lasting marital bliss

Universally, “knots” in the origin of the wedding ceremony with its centuries of tradition, have had a place in the folklore of many cultures as a symbol of unbreakable pledges.  

Historically, the knot as the symbol of a lasting unity dated back to the Legend of St. Katherine, circa 1225, where the Middle English word “enotte”, or ‘knot,’ was used to mean "the tie or bond of wedlock." From that point ‘To tie the knot’ as an expression came to mean getting married.  

The costume of the bride is the pivotal image that sets the theme for the event itself.   The design of the gowns and their "Stole Wrap" accessories, floral arrangements, and decorations symbolize the tying of the knot custom, representing the bonds of marriage.

Historically, the bride would arrive at the altar with an untied shoe, and the groom would tie the lace.  Knots were tied in the bridal bouquet with a fabric or silken cord or within silk garments as part of the ceremony.  In Italy, a knotted ribbon is tied over the entrance to the reception, within bouquets and Bridal Wraps, and in the frosted pastries tied in knots which are served to symbolize the Love Knot.

  “Something old, something new…marry in blue, lover be true”

The wedding ceremony, with its origins in centuries of tradition, has evolved out of legend, and the many “taken for granted” sayings associated with it. 

 “Something old” traditionally has symbolized the link with the bride’s family and the past.  “Something new” has stood to inspire optimism and hope for the new life ahead. “Something borrowed” has stood as a token from someone happily married whose good fortune in marriage may carry-on to the new bride and remind her of history that precedes her.  And, over the centuries, “Something blue” has become part of the tapestry that is “The Wedding.” 

In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty and fidelity.  Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, bringing about the saying “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

These ancient beliefs and practices are pivotal images that the curators at White Stole have put their whole hearts into.  While our beloved Vintage Stoles stand as a heritage piece that brings to the wearer good luck from the past, our couture Silk Wrap Stoles offer themselves to you as a keepsake and treasured momento of the most special day in your life.

“It’s all about the Wedding Dress” ~ Oleg Cassini (on Bridal Couture)

Like the variations on the traditional bridal White Dress, ‘long’ has transitioned to coming in many shades.  The few inches between the floor length gown and a tea length gown can speak volumes about the occasion’s mood and formality.  

Known as a Tea, Dance or Ballerina length skirt, the shorter skirt is a subtle departure from the traditional floor length gown.  A tea length skirt, which hits a few inches above the ankle, evokes an ingenue-like sensibility, and when paired with a ballgown silhouette, achieves a glamorous, debutante or ballerina look.  The tea length quickly became embraced for being less formal than the longer hemlines and a perfect choice for a daytime garden ceremony.

The Tea Length Wedding Dress never had more chic acclaim than when Audrey Hepburn wore it.  Audrey Hepburn married Mel Ferrer in 1954 wearing a Balmain dress with tiny waist, wide sleeves and full skirt with a floral hair wreathe that was timeless in both it’s design and it’s accessories.
