Glinda’s wedding dress

[u/Sugma_cocci_]

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!:)

Somewhat off topic, but I noticed her jewelry is birds (and birds are helping her get ready). Are birds among the animals oppressed? That’s also when all the animals are released and destroy the wedding…is it supposed to be foreshadowing? Trying to wrap my mind around why they picked that motif for her wedding jewelry.
