The Charleston Museum presents Aisle Style: 150 Years of Wedding Fashion, an original exhibition on display from October 16, 2009 through September 6, 2010. While focusing
on the bride and her dress, the exhibition will also include accessories, men's garments, trousseau treasures, and photographs.
Aisle Style will explore wedding traditions, from orange blossoms and blue garters to the magnificent white gown. The Charleton Museum will offer a wide variety of workshops and programs in conjunction with the exhibit.
The garments in this exhibition date from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century. Many are white, but many others show the variety of styles and colors selected for that special day. Most were worn here in the South Carolina Lowcountry and all reflect the changing fashions of
the different decades.
