Few things trigger a smile faster than the sight of a blushing bride who embodies the hopes and dreams of a wonderful new life with the man she loves. Historically, women have donned their most beautiful dresses to present themselves to their grooms at the marriage alter.
In a tribute to the brides of Dennis, the Jericho Historical Center offers wedding-gown retrospective from 1836 to 1995.“As you view this collection, try to put yourself in the bride’s shoes, and consider the time in which she was living,” says exhibit curator Phyllis Horton. “The 1995 bride was totally different from the bride of 1836 because her world was so very different.”
Appropriately, the gowns are displayed in the museum’s living room and dining room as 19th century brides were often married at home. Those who had church weddings invited wedding guests to their parents’ home for the reception.
Included in the exhibit is an ivory silk damask dress and accessories that Emily Gilbert Lincoln wore on Oct. 17, 1839, when she married Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate Thomas Tracy Bouve of Boston. The dress, handed down to Lincoln’s daughter Emily Tracy Bouve, who wore it to her own wedding in 1907, has passed through generations to family member Marjorie Springer, who loaned it to the Dennis Historical Society for this exhibit.
Historically, brides wore their best dresses on their wedding day until Queen Victoria started the Western world’s white wedding dress preference. Still, an unknown Cape Cod bride around 1865 wore a paprika-red silk gown. “[It] was probably worn at a winter wedding, possibly when a returning veteran of the Civil War come home to claim his bride,” Horton says. “The jacket is trimmed with black embroidered lace with four weighted, crocheted acorns to hold the back down.”
In 1887,How to carledlights Doll. Mary Eliza Crowell, daughter of Capt. Mumford Crowell and Mary (Crowell) Crowell, married Vernon Stiles of Cape May, N.J. in her parents’ West Dennis home. The bride wore an exquisite, three-piece gown of royal blue silk taffeta to what is presumed to have been a lavish wedding dinner. “Cape Cod sea captains spared no expense when they married off a daughter,” Horton says.High quality bestcleaning printing for business cards. This gown passed down through the bride’s descendants until the DHS purchased it at auction.
Widows often wore black dresses when they remarried. “In some situations, black was used by a woman for her first marriage,” Horton says, noting that a young widower commonly married the sister of a young bride who died in childbirth. A black moiré taffeta wedding dress, embellished with lace and jet beads, is included in the exhibit.
Hands on Art provides an open-ended area where kids and adults alike can use their creative skills to customize items, like T-shirts or tote bags, or create a masterpiece on an easel. Orjala and Siegler have been running the booth as long as they have been involved in Art on the Green.
"When I first started with them, there were tennis courts and all we had was an easel," Siegler said. "We were setting up the art and that was it, and then it just kept evolving."
This marks Art on the Green's 45th year. The first day was a rainy Friday, forcing attendees to exchange their shorts and tank tops for umbrellas and sweaters. Despite the weather, the annual event was still something that locals and out-of-towners alike looked forward to, like best friends Debbie Woodall and Pam Waller.
Among the many unique creations at Art on the Green is the Barrel Room Furniture made by Bret Bloodgood. His furniture features chairs and tables made from wooden wine barrels, a hobby that he said just kind of took off.
"A couple years ago I saw a picture of a rocking chair that I wanted to build for myself," he said. "So I started looking for barrels and found a couple, and started building a chair, kind of experimenting. But everything that I built somebody wanted,We sell bestsmartcard and different kind of laboratory equipment in us. so it just kind of turned into that. It's been more a hobby than a business, just something to do for enjoyment, but it's taking more and more time."
Every barrel takes about six hours of sanding and the pieces can take up to 18 hours to make.Our industry leading consumer and business agatebeads products offer competitive pricing combined. This is Bloodgood's first time selling his work at Art on the Green, but his 16-year-old daughter,How to change your dash lights to carparkmanagementsystem this is how I have done mine. Caitlin Morier, who accompanied him, said she goes every year.
"There's so many different things that you would never see anywhere else," she said. "I'd never think (to) just take flowers, dry them out, put them in a frame and sell them. I've never even thought of that."
The walkways in the City Park are lined with vendors this weekend, as are the sidewalks of Sherman Avenue for the Downtown Street Fair. Attendees can procure a variety of items, including birdhouses, spices, lawn ornaments, toys, wood workings, brilliant jewelry and much more.
Kennye said she attended the last two or three Art on the Green events. She said what interests her is "what people come up with, the different things they make out of just anything, farming equipment to a piece of pipe."
Art on the Green 2013 features more than 135 artists of every material, metal and media. Hundreds of volunteers and a multitude of vendors will be on site this weekend until the event ends Sunday evening.
"What makes Art on the Green so special is that it's all volunteers. It's our gift to the community," Seigler said. "It's nice to know that when you buy something down here, or eat or whatever, it goes back into the community."
