I need to find pictures for a Renaissance wedding, father of bride, flower girl, ring bearer?

This will be next Feb. in NY. I will be making the outfits, so I will eventually need to find patterns too.

I need to find pictures for a Renaissance wedding, father of bride, flower girl, ring bearer?
check eBay for wedding costume ideas





JMO- I doubt that your father will be comfortable wearing knickers/knee britches with white stockings


and a flowing wig
Reply:The best place to check out is http://www.midnightgarden.com/wedding/bo... which is a Medieval/Renaissance wedding community. There are tons of pics of weddings to browse through.





You can find patterns in the costume section of the pattern books.

Just type "Renaissance Wedding" into the search engine and browse what is there. You could also talked to local photographers and ask if they've ever photographed a Renaissance themed wedding before. I'm sure they'd be delighted to share the photos with you.
Reply:ok, i'm not sure what you need for pictures, but if you need ideas, buy the Renaissance magazine wedding issues. they have tons of renaissance pictures, ideas, etc for weddings!! the bak issues site is here: http://www.renaissancemagazine.com/backi... also, look in Simplicity, Mccalls (my favorite, and has best patterns in my opinion) and Butterick's costume sections, especially aorund halloween. they all have patterns, and for the most part, they are really good. check out this book Medieval Celebrations for more ideas. to find ideas for clothes do a google image search for medieval wedding gowns. most pages that have dresses, also hae groomswear, and young childrens. my favorites are www.verymerryseamstress.com and fashionsintime.com. go to your local renaissance faire this summer....oh, you're from NY? go to the sterling festival!!!! it's great!! check out all of the vendors there, take pictures, etc! it will be a great source of inspiration!! (trust me, i've gone every year for the past 8 years, and i love it!! i've gone in costume the past 3 summers!) just do a lot of research. email me and i'll send you some more of my massive horde of links if you'd like!
Reply:i dont know which country you're in, but why dont you try Brides magazine that has allll the info u need on outfits, etc etc. in the uk.i used that mag, its great!
Reply:I would try JoAnne Fabrics, Michael's or AC More for designs...


For sites that just have other ideas with pictures:

Good luck! Sounds like a fun idea. Best wishes with your wedding!
