Wedding fabric


Wedding fabrics were pieces of cloth passed down through Naboo families for use in wedding clothes. Former Naboo Royal Handmaidens Saché and Yané wore outfits incorporating both of their fabrics at their wedding. Their former employer, Senator Padmé Amidala, used her wedding fabric for the veil of her wedding dress on advice from Yané.

Description


Wedding fabrics were handed down in Naboo families for use in wedding clothes. Members of such families could use their pieces in their outfits however they wanted. The fabric was usually used in only a portion of the outfit.

History

Around 24 BBY, when Saché and Yané, former handmaidens to queen-turned-senator Padmé Amidala, prepared for their wedding, it was in style for wedding fabric to be used in sashes and trains. Following that fashion, Yané incorporated the fabrics the couple had inherited into the sashes and trains of both outfits. While Yané's outfit had a skirt, Saché's had wide-legged trousers; the outfits were otherwise nearly identical.

The fabric of Amidala's family, the Naberries, had belonged to them for generations by 22 BBY. Sola Naberrie, Amidala's sister, chose not to marry and used her share as clothing for her daughters, showing Sola welcomed new additions to the family. When Amidala prepared to wed Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, she asked Yané for advice on how to use her piece, who advised her to make it into the veil of her wedding dress. Amidala sewed pleating into the veil, which was embroidered with flowers and had wax drop stamens.

Behind the scenes


The concept of wedding fabric was created for the 2022 novel Queen's Hope by E. K. Johnston, the final installment of a trilogy about Padmé Amidala. The veil of Amidala's wedding dress, which the novel established to be made of wedding fabric, first appeared in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones as part of an outfit created by Trisha Biggar. It was made Edwardian-style out of Maltese lace sprinkled with small pearls and a headdress made of Edwardian wax flowers.
