A Little Information On The Wedding Star Shell Frame
In 1840, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe wearing a white wedding gown. In those days white was not a symbol of purity, rather, blue was! In fact, many women chose the color blue for their wedding dresses for specifically that reason. White, on the other hand, symbolized wealth.
Since white wasn't generally chosen as the color in which to be married, Victoria�s dress came as quite the surprise. It wasn't an unpleasant surprise, however, because shortly after women all over Europe and America began wearing white wedding dresses as well. There were still those who chose to get married in other colors, but it was the trend among those of an elevated social status to wear a glamorous white dress. The Wedding Star uses only the pearl and white shells to give it a very pure look which is rather appropriate for the occasion.
Our Wedding Star Shell Frame is crafted of non-endangered shells in a solid mahogany frame with a glass face for protection. Each one comes with a decorative brass hanger. A beautiful addition to your home, or as a gift for that special couple, or that special person in your life!
