History Society Spring Tea is 'An Affair to Remember'

Imagine getting married in a maroon gown or even a black one.

Imagine having a book instead of a bouquet.

The evolution of wedding traditions will be the heart of the Lansdale Historical Society's second annual Spring Tea May 19 at Elm Terrace Gardens called "An Affair to Remember."

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and tickets are $25 for society members and $28 for non-members. Tickets will not be available at the door.

In addition to a rolling slideshow of notable residents' wedding pictures, the event will have fashions from different eras modeled by members.

There are gowns from the 1880s that are maroon, chocolate and even black.

"It's about how wedding traditions changed down through the ages," said Spring Tea committee chairwoman Marti Drumheller. "Then, they had big, fancy headdresses, and now they have small tiaras with veils. Then, they had huge bouquets or prayer books and now they have small bouquets."
