Wedding fabric


PadmeAmidalaWeddingVeil-SW100Objects The wedding fabric passed down to her was used to fashion the veil worn by Padmé Amidala during her wedding ceremony. Fabrics for weddings represented portions of cloth that Naboo families would pass down through generations, intended for use in wedding attire, or clothes. Saché and Yané, who previously served as Naboo Royal Handmaidens, both wore outfits at their wedding that included their own inherited fabrics. On Yané's suggestion, their former employer, Senator Padmé Amidala, incorporated her own wedding fabric into the veil of her wedding dress.

Overview

Within Naboo families, wedding fabrics were traditionally passed down to be utilized in wedding attire, or clothes. Family members had the freedom to incorporate their inherited fabric into their outfits as they saw fit. Typically, the fabric was only used for a specific part of the outfit.

History

Amidala is seen wearing the veil, which was created from her family's wedding fabric.

Around 24 BBY, Saché and Yané, both former handmaidens of Senator Padmé Amidala (who previously served as queen), were preparing for their wedding. At the time, it was fashionable to utilize wedding fabric in sashes and trains. In line with this trend, Yané integrated the fabrics they had both inherited into the sashes and trains of their respective outfits. While Yané's outfit included a skirt, Saché's featured wide-legged trousers, but the outfits were otherwise almost identical.

By 22 BBY, the Naberrie family's fabric had been in their possession for generations. Sola Naberrie, Padmé's sister, opted not to marry and instead used her portion of the fabric to create clothing for her daughters, signifying her acceptance of new family members. As Amidala prepared to wed Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Padawan, she sought Yané's advice on how to incorporate her own fabric. Yané suggested using it to create the veil for her wedding dress. Amidala added pleating to the veil, which was adorned with embroidered flowers and wax drop stamens.

Behind the scenes

The concept of wedding fabric was first introduced in the 2022 novel Queen's Hope by E. K. Johnston, which served as the final book in a trilogy centered around Padmé Amidala. The veil from Amidala's wedding dress, which the novel established as being made from wedding fabric, initially appeared in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones as part of a costume designed by Trisha Biggar. It was created in the Edwardian-style using Maltese lace, embellished with small pearls, and a headdress composed of Edwardian wax flowers.
