Costume Ideas
On this page, you'll find a comprehensive list of renaissance faire outfits and costumes that would be fitting for the wedding! While it's not required, we would love to see everyone dressed up!
Below you'll find examples and ideas for masculine and feminine ren faire outfits, as well as links to specific websites that have ren faire clothes. Also included will be what different pieces of clothing are called so you can look them up if you find something specific you like!
Feminine Ideas
Feminine renaissance outfits have a good deal of variation, but most are a combination of an underdress (typically white or a more pastel color and relatively long), an overdress (typically darker colors, sometimes shorter but usually long), and a bodice or corset (the leather piece that tightens around the mid section, with the primary purpose of supporting the chest. Alternatively, a combination of a top, skirt and bodice/corset is also a great option. Have fun mixing and matching different pieces and colors together!
*Please keep in mind that these descriptions are not time-period accurate, but purely what I've noticed from looking at (and going to) modern day renaissance faires.
Masculine Ideas
Unfortunately, masculine renaissance outfits tend to be "that one shirt," a pair of baggy beige pants, and a belt of some sort. However, there are a lot of options out there! While masculine outfits do tend to be more shirt-pants-belt oriented, there are also vests, cloaks, hats, accessories (such as swords, jewelry, etc.), renaissance faire-esque suits, and more. It mostly depends on where you look. Amazon tends to have the typical "shirt" outfit, but there will be examples and links below to other places to look!
