Victorian Hats for Civil War Period Weddings

A U.S. Civil War period wedding, generally speaking, is a much simpler affair that the weddings that we have today.  This particular period of wedding is usually held at a Civil War reenactment or a place that's noted for its historical importance (especially to the couple who are getting married). 

 This Civil War period wedding took place at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, August of 2016.

In this case, the bride, who's a reenactor wanted her wedding hat to be versatile, so I made the veil detachable and now she can wear her wedding hat that matches her dress for any reenactment.

East Angel Harbor Hats will be happy to design a hat for your wedding too!

 Exchanging Vows
 You may kiss the Bride!
 
 Happy Couple
And they lived Happily Ever After!
