Renaissance costumes for a medieval or renaissance wedding
Choosing adult renaissance costumes for a medieval or renaissance wedding is important in creating a period atmosphere. Select heavy brocades and velvets in rich, jewel-toned colors for wedding renaissance clothes. Medieval couples wore their best clothing for their weddings. White wasn¡¯t a traditional color for bridal gowns. Renaissance clothing attire could include headwear instead of a veil.
Italian renaissance costumes
Italian adult renaissance costumes have a natural appearance. Renaissance clothing could included a robe, which was actually a dress with attached bodice and skirt. The renaissance clothes were patterned fabrics (usually velvets and brocades). Men?s renaissance clothing garments had lower necklines. Men wore hose and short padded breeches for added fullness. Broad toed shoes are part of a man¡¯s renaissance costume as well.
¡°Slashing¡± of renaissance costumes
Adult renaissance costumes often include ¡°slashing¡±. Open the outer surfaces of the chosen renaissance clothes (doublets, sleeves, hose) to expose the contrasting color of the linings beneath. These linings would then be pulled through the "slashing" and puffed out to give the renaissance costume its period look.
