Some 30 elegant wedding dresses and accessories from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries are featured in this exhibition, with the distinction of having witnessed a true love story. They are part of a love story told through 63 widely popular French and English expressions, which draw attention to the garments and their details. Silk, satin or organza, with lace or pearl ornamentation, nothing was ever too beautiful to adorn the bride.
