Discover Timeless Trousseaus: Bridal Trends Through the Decades, an exhibition exploring over 150 years of bridal fashion, from 1840 to 2000. This collection highlights the evolution of wedding attire, reflecting the cultural, social, and economic changes that shaped bridal style throughout history. Beginning with Queen Victoria’s iconic white gown, the exhibit traces the transformation from Victorian opulence to the simplicity of the 1920s, the practical styles of wartime, and the bold designs of the post-war years. Each gown offers insight into the societal shifts and enduring traditions that continue to define bridal fashion today.

Visit the exhibit space in the Special Collections & University Archives area on the first floor of the Stewart Library. This exhibit runs up until December 19th.
