June is a great month to celebrate brides with Karen (Ren) Antonowicz of Spirits of Fashion
Travel through time to learn about the clothing of past eras and discover how people lived and dressed.  We'll enter the world of brides from the past and learn about what they wore during their first day of marriage.  We will discuss both celebrity and royal weddings, as well as the less famous brides. Ren's knowledge and presentation including vintage videos will help to bring these weddings to life. Don't miss this glamorous foray into former wedding finery!  Wedding gowns will be on display. Registration is recommended.
