 * Group 2 – Fashion: What do the wedding party and guests wear?

The Process and Resources**

Please read the specific task your group is assigned and use the resources as fully as possible to cover every angle. Your group will research and determine what types of outfits your wedding party and guests will wear. What can we expect to see at this fancy affair? Be creative. You are to design a wedding dress for Juliet and an ensemble for Romeo. You are to create a visual of the outfits that the bride, groom, wedding party and guests will be wearing. Your visual can be on poster board or you can really go the extra mile and have your group design and wear outfits. Juliet is the only child Lord Capulet has left. His daughter’s wedding is going to be the talk of the town and everyone will want to see what she is wearing – don’t disappoint them. Romeo is also from a very distinguished family and his wedding attire needs to be formal. Guests invited to this special occasion will also understand the importance of appropriate dress. Do your research and find out what is acceptable and what is not to wear to this formal affair. Review the resources listed below and create a presentation that shows the fashions of the wedding party and guests. Keep in mind that you are joining the two most powerful families in Verona. This is not a casual affair.

There are several books in the Media Center that show fashions of the times. Those books have been pulled and put on the cart for Ms. Strickler's class. More information can be found at this site on Renaissance wedding [|fashions]. More examples of fashion can be found [|here]
