The viking bride makes her own rules, from what traditions she follows to what she wears. When it comes to wanting that timeless dress but with all of her favorite on-trend details.
You can show the spirit of the Vikings through your wedding dress attire! Viking brides didn’t traditionally wear white dresses unless their best dress was white. They tended to wear a dramatic flowing dress with ruffles and plenty of layers, on top of an under-dress.
On top of their Viking wedding dress, Viking brides wore a fur cloak and a headdress. However, the emphasis was on their hair, rather than on the dress. Viking wedding hair was braided in all elaborate and voluminous styles, before finishing with a floral crown.
Viking grooms on the other hand, wore intricate leather Norse vambraces and greaves, alongside their traditional Viking tunics that was worn underneath armour. Animal skin and fur was also worn too and it wasn’t uncommon for Viking grooms to be holding a hammer, axe or a shield too.
