La robe de marié au XX siècle était sobre, voir stricte.

Le noir existait tout comme le rouge en chine. Le jaune durant l’antiquité et le bleu au moyen âge.Le blanc est arrivé très tardivement ou elle a été reconnue comme signe de pureté et de virginité pour l’église. La mode est un éternel recommencement.

Les robes ont évolués avec les époques, les tendances.

Hi, I’m working on a line of black wedding gowns right now. I’m happy to see there is talk about this because it would be nice if this tradition actually came back. I prefer working with black fabric and only started making white & light colored gowns because brides asked for them. I personally got married in a renaissance baroque fairytale gown in red, gold and cream (that I designed, of course). I hope to have a similar gown available in black for my 2010 gown collection…I’m sure it would be just as stunning!!! Creatively, Katrina Marie (www.katrinamariedesigns.com)

Hello Sir:
I live in small German colony in Brazil where about 80 or 90 years ago the black wedding drees was very common here. Somepeople say that the bride wore black dress because it was a protest against the feudalim where the owner of the property felt him like the owner of the bride because she was his maid and she gad to sleep the first night with him not with her husband. Don´t know if this story is true or not. I have many pictures of the bride with black dress in uour museum. Another story is becaue of the high cost of a white dress just for few hours and after the wedding the dress was kept inside a trunk and was not wore anymore. So they wore a simple color and that drees could be wore on other cerimonies. Please let me know if you know the history of the white and black dree in Europe. i also read in a book that the fisrt lady who wore a white dress in Europe was from Italy and belong to the Medici family in 1610.
I tank you very much for your answer. My e-mail is jgvelten@hotmail
I live in Brazil
I can also tell you the German colony here has a traditional celebration where the bride wear a black dress. They have this celebration every year in the month of September.
All the best,
Joel Guilherme Velten
