What to Wear:
Although we are having a mostly renaissance/medieval
wedding, costumes from a larger time span will be encouraged. There are
many things that can be worn for such an occasion including many garments
that you might already own. Good examples of what types of clothing
we are looking for can be found by watching many different movies
including; Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Bravehart, and the Three
Musketeers.
Here is a costume site to get you
started on some ideas of what to wear.
Here are a few shops that rent appropriate attire if you live in the
Washinton Metro area or you can always call from elsewhere and pick up the
rental when you come in to town.
Masters Costumes Annandale, VA: Wenda Mc Rae - 703/354-7500
Masters Costumes Annandale, VA: Christin Fitzsimmons -
703/820-8880
Repeat Performance Rockville, MD: Barbara Posaner - 301/881-0800
The contact name given is the store manager of each shop. Though the
manger, in most cases, is the person we have talked to it is not necessary
for you to talk to them directly if you are renting costumes. Most
costumes that we have seen range from about $30 - $60 for the rental which
includes an extra day to pick it up and drop it off. Many of the costumes
are unique and made by the shops which rent them.
A rental is not always necessary though. Many people may have bits and
pieces at home that might turn out to be a great Medieval costume. Visit
the costume site here and or watch the listed movies for ideas. You are
also welcome to contact us with any questions.
