| My fiance' and I are having an outdoor, Old English style wedding--think Knightley's version of Pride &Prejudice--inspired by a wonderful old spring (hopeflly our location) I found in the middle of a family friend's field. It has a stone floor, huge white columns, and a peaked roof. I'll be wearing a beautiful gown by Camilla in white with crystal beading, silver stitching, and an empire waist. My maid of honor and bridesmaids will be wearing red dresses in a similar cut, but simpler style. My fiance' and his groomsmen will be wearing white poet shirts--no frills of, course. Visit this link to see a picture:http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii2/always_kaitlin/Poetshirt.jpgThen I ran into a problem. Where can I find AFFORDABLE period trousers and footwear for them? A shirt is not enough to walk down the aisle in =]Thanks in advance! |

| Hi i think that most trousers you get in bridal shops (the lightly pin stripe ones) would fit in with the theme or could always go for the mr Darcy stockings and short pants |

| Have you considered looking at costume shops or period reenactment suppliers? I found a few websites that have decently priced trousers-- check out this one, for instance: http://tudorshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=MPB -- the Locksley Pants or the Cotton Trews might work for you. It's not exactly the time period you're looking at, but you can pull it off if you have the shirt you're looking for.I've listed a few more links you might try in the "source" section. |

| I don't know if it's affordable, but check out this site.http://herbalmusings.com//mens_renaissance_clothing.htmIf you live in a big enough city, you might also check out costume stores (halloween costumes) and see if they have anything decent that you could rent or buy.Good Luck. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
