Vera Wang Luxe Callalily
Let’s proudly present you Vera Wang wedding dresses collection starting from Luxe Callalily. Vera Wang aka 王薇薇, born on June 27, 1949, is an American fashion designer based in New York. If one has to say she is the most talented wedding gowns designer, others would certainly nod in approval. She is so well-known for her wedding dresses collection which is nothing less than perfection.
The above masterpiece is known as silk organdy strapless mermaid of asymmetrically draped layers. To turn a simple piece of ivory or white cloth into an extraordinarily gorgeous gown could be the toughest things fashion designers face when designing wedding dresses which are mass-appealing. But look, how Vera Wang has imperceptibly added sense of elegance in the Luxe Callalily using the perfectly crafted draped layers. Brilliant. Genius.
Mermaid : A dress or skirt that is fitted at the top and flairs below the knee. Also known as fishtail or trumpet style.
We have “My Luve” by Robert Burns for our best ever weddings readings collection.
“My Luve” by Robert Burns
O my luve is like a red, red rose,
That`s newly sprung in June:
O my luve is like the melodie,
That`s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a` the seas gang dry.
Till a` the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi` the sun;
And I will luve thee still my dear,
While the sands o` life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho` it were ten thousand mile
Material Versus Romantic
In the olden days parents chose their daughter’s wedding mate based on social status and financial standing. The groom’s parents would ask for a girl from a “good” family whose social hierarchy matched theirs. The bride’s family would base their choice on how financially secure the prospective son-in-law’s family was while the groom’s family how agreeable the prospective daughter-in-law was to the young man’s mother. This was important at the time where patrilocal residence was the norm.
Patrilocal residence : a home where married couple live with the husband’s family.
Weddings in those days were based on compatibility of families but not compatibility of the wedding couples. Material wealth was the yardstick then. Romantic encounters would most likely meet with opposition from the families. Romance was a taboo to the old folks.
Romantic novels of the past more often than not ended in tragedies for the courting couples. Wedding gowns were never made for them. Wedding bells rang, but never for them. Some chose to end their lives together in a tragic manner. The wiser ones eloped.
In the olden days material weddings had the upper hand. Today, romantic weddings take the lead!
