WHCC presents: Portrait of a Bride, an Evolving Silhouette

Bringing history to life through a remarkable display of wedding dresses spanning more than 150 years. From the Civil War era to the present day, curator Leigh Anne Brown explores how wedding gowns reflect changing styles, textiles, craftsmanship, and evolving ideas about love, identity, and tradition - revealing how each dress is shaped by the world in which it was worn.

Join us on Saturday, February 28th, for a presentation and tea, and travel through time as these iconic gowns are placed within the broader story of American history, illustrating how the wedding dress has evolved alongside society itself.
