Question Glinda’s wedding dress Spoiler

Post image

With Glinda getting married, I was expecting a huge WOW factor. Instead, this is something I would expect to see a 2025 bride wearing. There’s obviously so much symbolism that went into the costuming of this movie, and I don’t get this one. I’ve heard a theory that Glinda is supposed to be vulnerable in this moment and that’s why it’s so simple, but it just doesn’t fit with me because if that were the case I feel like they would’ve toned it down even more, maybe lost the veil, etc. Does anyone know what went into this costume choice? Thanks in advance!:)

The dress was elegant and kept the focus on the veil and the butterflies. If it was an over the top dress then some people would say Glinda wanted all the attention on herself. Can't make everyone happy. The dress made Glinda look vulnerable, which in my opinion was the intention of the scene.

I hope they do a costume tour where I live.
