TO THE CARRIAGE, HORSES TO THE CARRIAGE, COME OUT GIRL TO THE WEDDING… - Wedding Dress Display
Today, a wedding is a work of a whole team of stylists and experts, but once, a folk dress was enough – full of meanings, rules, and symbols. What did a bride look like in the village? What did she have to wear, and what was inappropriate? What did the elements of the outfit symbolize? The secrets of ancient wedding rituals will be revealed by the Mogilany women – during a demonstration of dressing the bride, accompanied by stories about traditions and customs.
