Russian women care a lot about their wedding
Marriage is not only a legal bond that promises a future kinship. It is not only a social contract which legalizes the interpersonal relationships like sexual intercourse between two persons. There is always something more to marriages. Individuals in every culture try to represent their traditions and customs through this single event. For example in South Asian countries like Pakistan or India, show of such customs is demonstrated in the form of various events during a marriage ceremony. Like people in that culture have different traditions and rituals. Brides and bridegrooms dress up in a certain way on each of above-mentioned events and each of their moves reflect some sort of their social norm. Same is true about Russian Brides. Russian women also try to represent their social customs through their weddings. Let us discuss the special traditional wedding dress which Russian women like to wear on their marriages.
First thing is the choice of color of wedding dress. Brides in Russia have to wear two wedding dresses. One is worn before the wedding ceremony and the other after it. Russian women chose red for the latter dress, while there is no peculiar color for the former wedding dress. Red is chosen as it is considered as a symbol of happiness. White color is avoided by the Russian women on their marriages, because it is considered to be too sacred.
The dress that Russian women wear on their marriages consists of an apron like pinafore. Underneath this pinafore, there is a blouse. The blouse is prepared specially and it has a lot of embroidery on it. Generally, the embroidery consists of birds, flowers and fruits. In Russia, birds resemble the goodness or fairness of a person. Conservative Russian women prefer to have a full-sleeve blouse. Perhaps, it is due to the old custom that bride and bridegroom should not touch each other with naked hands before marriage.
For head-wear the Russian women choose a floral ring. In older times, a metallic or ribbon sort of ring was used and hair were left loose (or done up in two plaits). In some parts of Russia, women wear a ring having gold beads on it. The number of gold beads represents the number of children wished to the couple.
As different accessories, Russian women wear a traditional necklace on their marriages. The necklace is made out of gold threads. In the past, the necklace could have been of any metal like of iron, gold, silver or bronze. But nowadays, it contains a few pearls in it with some gold threads around. This traditional necklace, to Russian women, is a sign of fidelity.
This is what Russian women would like to wear on their weddings. This was the description of their traditional wedding dresses. Now, after the economic reforms and some influence of the war with Napoleon, the things have changed a bit. Now one finds some of the Russian marriages similar to those of Western world. Even, with the introduction of Civil Registry Offices, couples come wearing ordinary daily life dresses and get married. Nevertheless, the charm and beauty of these traditional dresses that Russian women wear on their weddings still remains and casts a spell on the attendees.

Old Peter's Russian Tales $27.43 This is a book written far away in Russia, for English children who play in deep lanes with wild roses above them in the high hedges, or by the small singing becks that dance down the gray fells at home. Russian fairyland is quite different. Under my windows the wavelets of the Volkhov (which has its part in one of the stories) are beating quietly in the dusk. A gold light burns on a timber raft floating down the river. Beyond the river in the blue midsummer twilight are the broad Russian plain and the distant forest. Somewhere in that forest of great trees--a forest so big that the forests of England are little woods beside it--is the hut where old Peter sits at night and tells these stories to his grandchildren. |
