I’m so looking forward to this!
The Charleston Museum’s upcoming textiles exhibit, Unveiled: Wedding Fashion and Traditions in the South, on display from January 22 – July 10, 2016, will allow visitors to see how wedding dress styles have changed throughout time and will examine trends and traditions. From orange blossom adornments and blue garters to the magnificent white gown, the Museum will exhibit an array of garments from the early 1800s through the mid- 20th century.
Guests can enjoy favorite post-nuptial jams, delicious food and cocktails and awesome wine and beer, all while taking a look at the new exhibit and learning from museum curators themselves. Ladies are invited to wear their old bridesmaids’ dresses and men are welcome to come in their best suit, something vintage, or something ridiculous, as long as it’s wedding themed!
Tickets are all inclusive and may be purchased online or over the phone at 843.722.2996, ext. 235. Tickets are $40 for museum members and $50 for non-members.
If you are in Charleston, this is a can’t miss party. Hosted by the Society 1858 of the Gibbes Museum of Art, the fabulous Winter Party takes place on 1/29/16!

As with last year, you also will have the opportunity to win an original work of art by local artists (including Kate Long Stevenson).
