Medieval Themed Weddings

Having your wedding in the theme of Medieval times is more common than you may think. Many people are infatuated with the lore of antiquity, and plan their weddings to simulate the marriage ceremony of the Medieval era.

Medieval marriage ceremonies had a lot more pomp and circumstance, which made them somewhat more elaborate than their modern counterparts. The groom would have a group of retainers—men who were fiercely loyal—who would carry his sword, banner, and coat of arms. The bride would have a group of ladies in waiting, who would carry her banner, the ceremonial chalices, and the ring.

Medieval wedding dresses were also different than dresses we are accustomed to seeing today. Rather than being purely white, Medieval wedding dresses would oftentimes be tailored to include the colors of the bride’s kingdom. They would sometimes also contain the crest or insignia of the groom to indicate the alliance that is being formed between the two kingdoms. Examples of Medieval wedding dresses that follow these traits include our Anne Boleyn gown, Tudor gown, and rich sapphire Queen Katherine gown.
