Everyday Curator: July 2010
http://everydaycurator.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
I came across the concept of the wedding sheet in Josephine Ryan's French Home. Last night. I'm getting married in the Fall, and I'd never heard of this tradition, so I did a little bit of research. My guess is that if they are still being given on the occasion of a wedding, the second, more public part of the tradition has fallen in favor. I came across this site, Fleur d'Andeol. Which sells impeccable antique wedding sheets and other fine linens. Worth bookmarking for sure. At Home with Joan Parker.
