Why are brides and grooms flocking to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts? It's because now through September 14, 2008, the museum is hosting a special exhibit called Wedded Bliss, The Marriage of Art and Ceremony.The exhibition explores the wedding as artistic inspiration, and features the work of Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Winslow Homer, Benjamin West, William Hogarth, Cecily Brown, Claes Oldenburg and Jacob Lawrence, as well as items used in various cultures' wedding ceremonies around the world.
You'll find historical and contemporary wedding gowns and rare jewelry at the Wedded Bliss exhibit. If you can make it to the museum, it's a great place to find inspiration for your own wedding, or just soak up the celebration of love. A visit to the exhibit would be a great girls' day out for the bride and her bridesmaids.
If you can't make it to see the exhibit in person, view a slideshow here.
