A new exhibition has opened, showing a collection of wedding clothes
between 1780 and 2006. Although I haven't been able to visit it myself,
I hope the information may enable others to do so. Here are a couple of
links with some details:

Exhibition: Getting Hitched, Snibston Discovery Museum, Coalville,
February 14 – May 15 2011; open 10am-3pm (5pm Saturday and Sunday and
all week after April 1).
If anyone is able to see it, I do hope that they will write more about
it; it sounds most interesting.
