The Shrewsbury Historical Society's
Vintage Wedding Gown Exhibit is Open for the Summer
BY LORI DRAZ
Due to overwhelming requests, the Shrewsbury Historical Society
has announced it will be having summer hours for the popular
Vintage Bridal Gown Collection. The dazzling display of gorgeous
gowns opened last year to eager crowds, and the collection has grown
even larger since its winter hiatus. You will see 27 gloriously restored
wedding dresses along with the
wedding attire worn by family
members of local residents.
Some of these spectacular
gowns date back more than 100
years. Each has been lovingly and
painstakingly restored by stylist
and garment restorer Judi Buncher.
Buncher is an expert in restoring
period and historic clothing,
and she has poured hundreds of
hours into bringing these treasures
back to their wedding day glory.
Many gowns feature the original
veils and accessories, and visitors
can also see wedding pictures of
the brides wearing their dresses,
along with the historic descriptions of the garments and the brides.
Since it opened, the exhibit was one of the most popular ever hosted
by the Shrewsbury Historical Society. New hours for June and July
are Thursday 2 to 4 pm and Saturday 10 am to 1 pm. It is also open
by appointment, and many ladies’ groups, history organizations, senior
clubs, art and textile groups, and
bridal parties are reserving private
viewing times for their groups.
The exhibit is free to the public,
although donations to support
the Shrewsbury Historical Society
are gratefully appreciated. The
Shrewsbury Historical Society
and museum are located at the
Shrewsbury Municipal Complex,
419 Sycamore Ave. in Shrewsbury,
across from Christ Church. For
appointments, call 732-530-7974
or email shrewsburyhistoricalsociety@
