Trousseau

Trousseau refers to a collection of clothing, linens, and personal items that a bride assembles in preparation for her wedding and married life. Traditionally, a trousseau includes items such as bridal gowns, lingerie, nightwear, bed linens, towels, table linens, and other personal belongings. The concept of a trousseau dates back to earlier times when it was customary for a bride to bring her own possessions to her new marital home. Today, while the concept of a trousseau may have evolved, it still represents a cherished collection of items that a bride-to-be carefully selects and gathers in anticipation of starting her married life. The contents of a trousseau can vary based on personal preferences, cultural traditions, and individual needs.
