My latest entry is following on from fellow blogger Amanda Beth who is running a Maid Marian inspired festival. So being a fellow enthusiast for medieval maidens, I thought I would share a few pictures of medieval inspired outfits that I've made this past year.The first set of pictures are from some of my brides this year who all went for a medieval theme. One got married in a Scottish castle, and the other at Tintagel, the supposed site of Camelot! At the moment I can only upload the photos from the Scottish wedding, so my apologies and I'll upload the others as soon as I can!
The photos below come from 'The Lady of Shallot' film which I had great fun working on and the costumes were a fantastic mix of typical medieval, through Renaissance, to even Tudor inspiration. The inspiration was all taken from Pre-Raphaelite paintings, which in turn were inspired by Tennyson's poems and tales of Arthurian legend. Ok, so Robin Hood and Maid Marian are perhaps of a later period, but I can quite easily see these gowns in Maid Marian's wardrobe!
