This week on the h.e.r.LIFE Blogcast, Allie G returns to talk all things wedding gowns. After a brief history on bridal traditions (i.e. you probably don't know why we're actually wearing white to our weddings) thanks to JSTOR Daily's Summer Brennan, Rachel Malak picks Allie's brain on all the assumptions we have about weddings, and follows up with a Queen Victoria trendsetter moment. Then, the ladies chat about their respective mother's (very similar) wedding gowns before transitioning into the Vera Wang section of today's episode. Citing a a "Bride Wars" special feature from 2009, Rachel's got all the details on Vera's impact in the fin de siècle bridal industry. Rachel and her cohost of the week wrap by discussing their own dream dresses, gushing about what fun it is to fanaticize about that special day! We hope this episode prompts you to do the same. Happy listening!
