In the early 1970s, a number of brides fantasized about getting married in blue jeans. She resisted the impulse, but by a second important target group: families. Again, it was a question about someone else's happiness. Many want acceptance of their grandparents and older generations.
Religion is another factor in the choices that some brides do their wedding and bridal dresses. Some Christians believe that if a couple married on a Friday, the church can be cleaned and ready for the Sabbath. If the bride are congruent with the faith of the Church doctrine and practice, everything would be good. But if she is questioned or were in conflict with them, things would be difficult.
The pressure to adapt to local standards, was most visible in bridal discussions in color. White means purity and virginity. One way to indicate that the bride was not a virgin, is the absence of a religious marriage or the decision not to wear veils. However, due to significant changes in the color codes in the past decades, recent brides have several choices. Example, they may be more interested in aesthetics (it looks better in off-white) than in the opinions of the neighbors.
When choosing the style and color wedding dresses, however, disclosure is only part of what brides should consider. Blur was also important. Some brides deliberately preserved traditional color codes to a false signal to send about themselves. They have knowledge of the family, church and community expectations of their sexuality to make a little privacy.
Size is another point to consider would be a bride. Women who thought of themselves as overweight generally avoid full skirts, binding waist and trim. Instead, they tend to Empire waist and A-line skirts made of soft drugs to choose from. The body weight is still a problem for many of these women. Its slim is seen as inextricably linked to femininity. Thus, using the dress as a marker, these women to start a dialogue with the authorities who inhabited before they were altered by age and / or childbirth.
The element of disguise is working on other parts and functions of the body too. Several brides seen as unusually short. Long robes were of particular importance to those who, without interruption from the collar on the floor, they are transported an impression of height.
Post-modern theorists have argued that much of disappearing with the use, consumption goods the symbolic qualities desired identity. In other words, when you buy a product you create a special sense of self. This process is limited by the extent to which family, church and community relations are embedded in a very conservative (entrepreneurial evangelicals) social context.
