Victorian Bride and Garter

A Few Victorian Wedding Facts

In 1850 the average cost of a wedding gown was $500 and $125 for the veil.  By law weddings could only take place in the morning.  In the 1880's the laws were changed to extend the hour to 3:00.  Wealthier couples arrived at the church together in a horse drawn carriage.  After the ceremony the bride and groom leave the church looking only straight ahead.
