Named Best of the Best from the University Presses for 2007 by the American Library Association
Weddings today are a $70-billion business, yet no one has explained how the industry has become such a significant component of the American economy. In Brides, Inc., Vicki Howard goes behind the scenes of the various firms involved—from jewelers to caterers—to explore the origins of the lavish American wedding, demonstrating the important role commercial interests have played in shaping traditions most of us take for granted.
Howard reveals how many of our customs and wedding rituals were the product of sophisticated advertising campaigns, merchandising promotions, and entrepreneurial innovations. Tracing the rise of the wedding industry from the 1920s through the 1950s, the author explains that retailers, bridal consultants, etiquette writers, caterers, and many others invented traditions—from the diamond engagement ring and double-ring ceremony to the gift registry to the package-deal catered affair. These businesses and entrepreneurs, many of them women, transformed wedding culture and set the stage for todays multibillion-dollar industry.
The wedding industry began to take shape between the 1920s and the 1950s. Bridal magazine editors and etiquette writers, jewelers, department store window display artists, bridal consultants, fashion designers, and caterers invented new consumer rites and promoted higher standards of wedding consumption. Claiming ties with ancient customs and various historical periods, the wedding industry promoted new goods and services as timeless and unchanging. It introduced new ring customs and wedding apparel fashions, and modern services, such as gift registries that rationalized gift customs, bridal salons that saved time and made wedding planning more efficient, and wedding packages that standardized ceremonies and reception celebrations.
During World War II, the traditional white wedding grew even more prevalent as jewelers and bridal gown manufacturers successfully sought exemptions from wartime restrictions, linking the diamond engagement ring, the double-ring ceremony, and the formal white wedding gown with democracy and American prosperity. By the 1950s, the wedding industry had made the formal white wedding tradition a part of a new cult of marriage and the modern American Dream.
Entertaining and informative, Brides, Inc. reveals the origins and development of this most exemplary American enterprise and brings the story up to the present with a discussion of such new phenomena as Davids Bridal and the gay wedding industry.

Описание: From Pocahontas to Priscilla Presley, Annie Oakley to Yoko Ono, Grace Kelly to Coretta Scott King, no woman ever forgets her wedding day. Here are 366 poignant, passionate or hilarious wedding stories of how extraordinary couples met, courted, and wed. A rich testament to marriage, WEDDING DAYS is something to give, receive, and treasure. It's for engaged couples, newlyweds, long-married couples, and best men and women searching for that perfect wedding story or toast. Artists, abolitionists, celebrities, statesmen and women, royalty and rebels are all represented in Susan J. Gordon's evocative portraits, with surprising, little-known and romantic details including: Napoleon spent his wedding night with Josephine battling her snarling pug dog, who refused to leave his mistress's bed and left teeth marks in the future Emperor of France's leg (March 9, 1796); The Marquis de Lafayette gave his friend, Alexander Hamilton, a pair of glittering rhinestone shoe buckles when he married Elizabeth Schuyler (December 14, 1780); Chang and Eng Bunker, the famous Siamese twins, married two sisters and fathered twenty-one children (April 13, 1843); Irving Berlin gave heiress Ellin Mackay the copyright to his song, "Always" when her father cut her out of his $10 million estate for eloping with the Russian-Jewish immigrant (Jan 4, 1926); Russian playwright Anton Chekhov was "simply terrified of the wedding ceremony" (May 25, 1901); Elvis Presley sang "The Hawaiian Wedding Song" to his bride, Priscilla, as he carried her over the threshold of their honeymoon getaway in Palm Springs CA (May 1, 1967); Alexander Graham Bell's struggles to invent a device enabling deaf people--including his fiance, Mabel--to hear led him, indirectly, to invent the telephone. (July 11, 1877). In every story in WEDDING DAYS, the enduring qualities of love shine through.

Whiteness, Weddings, and Tourism in the Caribbean

Описание: This book examines myths of the Caribbean as paradise. These myths are used as a backdrop to market destination white weddings. The book is interdisciplinary and uses historical and contemporary visual texts to examine the way in which middle class white womanhood assumes a decorative, privileged, and elevated position within contemporary images of destination weddings in the Caribbean. To facilitate the notion of the Caribbean as paradise, the book argues that this production of luxury is highly dependent on the positioning of blackness as servitude. To this end, tourism marketing appropriates the Caribbean’s history of slavery; transforming the region into a site where whiteness can consume black labor as luxury.
