Voss Wedding Bunad

The Bunad tradition in Voss has always been strong, and the variations in shirt, apron, belt and chest cloth often had a personal twist. Today the variations are smaller, but there is still a difference between married and unmarried. The Wedding Bunad is quite similar to the Wives Bunad from Voss, the difference is a black jacket instead of a waist piece. The bride can use a special apron, chest cloth and silver. There has been made a headdress for this Bunad with pearls and silver. On the big day the bride switch the normal pearl belt with a more fancy plaque belt.
The silver: The shirt is held together with either a double neck button or a small brooch at the neck and a bigger brooch further down. The cuffs have cufflinks and there is a chain around the neck to attach Dalar to. A plaque belt and belt buckle belongs with this Bunad. Most of the silver is gilded with the exception of the neck button, chain and cufflinks. Shoe buckles, a knife, a timepiece, earrings and a ring completes the picture.
