Oct 26 2022 - Bizarre Wedding Dresses

 

One of those accumulations of crazy pictures on a theme got my attention - it was bizarre wedding dresses.  Supposedly a wedding is a ceremony where two people are "united in marriage".  And wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries and social classes. There are ideas on who does what, on how to plan a wedding, on the wedding ceremony, etiquette, and all sorts of things.  The rule of thumb from slice.ca is that the average wedding  costs around $200 a person/guest.  The proposed average cost is given at $40,000 to $50,000. The wedding planner costs on average $3,500. The venue average is $22,500.  The wedding cake is an average of $600. The average cost is $2,000.  Do you know what the average cost is of the DJ - that's that guy that plays music so loud that you can't talk to the person next to you at the dinner - $1,750.  Stunning! Choosing a wedding dress might be the central moment for the bride.  So we want insight into hundreds of wedding dresses found on Instagram that are described with such names as: Coccoon-inspired wedding gown Pamela Anderson's bikini wedding dress A real cake for a wedding gown Pregnant bride Nothing left to chance Balloon wedding dress Bride or stripper? Mama June's hot mess Queen of exaggeration Cream puffs There are more on Pinterest HERE.  Such themes are: Top 5 sluttiest wedding dresses, Worst of all time - nearly naked, Most outrageous... Ugliest... Shocking... Bizarre...Crazy It seems to be Imgur that has captured the moment.  Focsing on social gossip is their skill.  HERE are a few.  I rather enjoyed some of the Priceless Wedding Photos with surprise cats, dogs, and squirrels.  That's here. Flowers that look like wedding dresses appeal to me. This is a Cosmos.   Read more daily posts here: marilyncornwellblog.com Purchase works here: Fine Art America- marilyncornwellart.com Redbubble - marilyncornwellart.ca

THE WEDDING DRESS

There is a Royal wedding this Saturday, and people will be remembering the Royal wedding that riveted the world - that of Princess Diana and Prince Charles in 1981.  It is a Royal wedding event that is revered and referenced by the press.  Her children are the subject of the global obsession with Royal weddings. I went looking for the most remarkable Royal Wedding Gowns of all times - and there are a lot of them. There still is a lot of Royalty out there - Norway, Monaco, Sweden, Jordan, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark - even Luxembourg.  There's a picture of the Queen of Bhutan in traditional costume.  She is the world's youngest living ruler. There are two weddings for Prince Charles - the second with Camilla Parker Bowles in the Harper's Bazaar article.  Diana's is 29 of the 41 weddings covered. What about Vogue's coverage of the most famous wedding dresses?  It is HERE.  It covers all kinds of celebrities and the dresses that made the news.  There's John and Yoko's wedding portrait, Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and (  ) fill in the name as there are quite a few. Grace Kelly and Princess Diana seem to be 'markers' for beautiful wedding dresses. Grace Kelly's dress had 25 yards of silk, Princess Diana had the longest train in history. The last picture in this article is also perhaps the most notable   It shows Queen Victoria's wedding dress in 1840.  This is the dress that started the tradition of white wedding dresses. Our Spring show in the orchards is coming to an end as the green leaves sprout on the trees.  This orchard is  on 23rd Street in Vineland. I checked on the Jordan Wisteria yesterday, and it is just starting to show colour.  We're in the midst of the Redbud season and the show is beautiful this year.
