Weddings In History Exhibition 2011

This video was taken at the Cornwall Civic Complex during the WEDDINGS IN HISTORY™ event exhibition. We will be showcasing this video for a short time only to give to those supporters who were unable to attend the opportunity to see how wonderful the exhibition turned out.

For those of you not familiar with it Weddings In History displayed over 80 weddings dating back from the waistcoat of H. N. Burroughs in 1843 to Jan, our 60 year old bride, who found true love in 2010. The dresses were displayed with stories, the date of the wedding, the bride's name or a photograph; most had all of them.

With the unique combination of vintage and celebrity worn wedding dresses this exhibition was a delight to all who attended. Each entry to our show has been carefully picked for its sighability™, that quality which causes a woman, as she passes a display, to stop and sigh as she passes that beautiful dress or gown. .

Wow, beautiful. Wish I could have seen that and seen the pictures and tags of who they all belonged too. Were the dolls on the table Madame Alexanders?? Just wondering because I have a collection of them and had an opportunity some years ago to purchase a set of first ladies and could kick myself now for not buying them.

@halfnewf13 Thank you! We will host several exhibitions next year. Where are you, perhaps you'll be near by one of them. No, the dolls are Franklin Mint. Are any of your dolls wedding dolls?

WHERE ARE THEIR HEADS?! =O

@ResEvl We use dress forms because they leave more to the imagination. Heads give an image that's not the bride.

@WIHshowcased - Ok, they looked a lot like the Alexander's..Never knew Franklin Mint sold dolls. I live in Northern California. Will there be a book out or already out on this?? I just got a book on the history of the royals and find it very interesting put out by People Magazine. It shows some of the dresses and a lot of older photos. Please let me know if there will be an exhibit near me, would love to see it.

What a beautiful video! In this exhibition you’re gliding through time you can see the breathtaking clothing but also feel the emotions of such a sacred tradition!

Very cool!! I'm sorry that I couldn't attend; I've obviously missed an excellent exhibit!
