The Wedding Dress If you have decided to become a pirate's bride dressing the part is the fun part. You might first look at gowns from the pirate's era as a starting point. Well heeled brides wore elaborate gowns that often included a corset or lacing and were patterned from silk or damask with puffy sleeves edged with lace on both cuffs and bodice. The colour is entirely up to you, from traditional white to emerald greens and rustic range. Another exciting element of a pirate themed wedding is your groom’s attire. Pirates also dressed in bold colours like crimson red or royal purple breeches and muslin shirts enhanced by puffy sleeves and cuffed with dripping lace. Next go for a black belt embellished with a huge gold buckle and knee high black boots for effect. Follow this flamboyant style with a black, tricorn hat adorned with an electrifying red or purple feather and have the groom wear a gold hoop earring and gold necklaces. |
