The wedding of Charlotte Bronte was finally determind for 29 june,

Original Jane Eyre movie wedding costumes worn by Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska on display at ArcLight Hollywood

The date of the wedding was finally determind for 29 june.
 
Het wedding clothes were to come from Leeds but she deputed Ellen  to choose the bonnet and dress she would wear- "something that can be turned to decent use and worn after the wedding will be best, I think."

Ellen choose wedding clothes that were both pretty and traditional. The bonnet was covered in white flowers, trimmed with greenery, and over it would go a white lace veil, with a motif of ivy leaves, which matched the border of the white muslin dress.



Charlotte' s own choise of clothing for the honeymoon, a heavy silk dress of brown and mauve, was the result of an expedition to Halifax, where she had some more dresses made up.


Charlotte ordered fifty wedding cards from Ellen, which displeased her on account of the gaudy amount of silver on them. She would have preferred the enveloppe to the perfectly plain with a silver initial. And then she found she should have ordered twice the number because of the Mr Nicolls' string of clerical friends.

  3. Before I wrote that I am always happy with your reactions. But I want to write more. Sometimes you write something interesting and I start to search for an answer. For instance this happened with Mary Taylor. It is so stimulating.

    I understand all about how busy now a days live is. But I must say I am happy to hear again from you.

  4. Mr.N's need for so many wedding cards for his clerical friends shows that if it were up to him, St Michale's most likely would have been full that dim June morning. Friendships were important to him. But he was happy bow to Charlotte's wish for a very private wedding, if that meant getting her to the alter lol. What he insisted on was Ireland for the honeymoon.

    Marvelous to see the costumes! Thank you! I'll be adding it to my desk top file called "Bronte Fashion"
