What was the traditional Tudor Era wedding dress?




AshleyMari


I remember hearing that wedding dresses from the Tudor Era weren't white, white back then meant something else.
So what color was the traditional Tudor Era wedding dress??



Answer
White for wedding dresses wasn't the norm until late in the 19th century.
In the Tudor period, a woman would wear a "best dress"and it could be any color. There was no specific color that a wedding dress was expected to be.

Princess Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's sister, married Charles Brandon while wearing a black dress trimmed with pearls

In Anne Boleyn's wedding portrait, she is also wearing a black dress:

In what appears to be Jane Seymour's wedding portrait (to Henry VIII) she is wearing a dress of dull red

But if you do a google search for "tudor wedding dress" you'll find replica tudor dresses in white, because that's what the modern eye expects to see.
