Acelia Alderete Armijo Bridal Gown - El Paso, Texas
Wedding dresses are special, well cared for garments. Because of this, bridal gowns are the most common form of woman’s wear found in history museums. This dress was worn by Acelia Alderete, who married Leopoldo E. Armijo on February 27, 1921 at San Ignacio Church. Bishop Schuler, the first bishop of the young El Paso Catholic Diocese, officiated. Members of the Alderete family were local landowners and active in El Paso County politics. Leopoldo E. Armijo, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, came from an important family in New Mexico. The wedding was correspondingly large. Church decorations included 1000 roses imported from Mexico, and a ten course wedding dinner, entertained by live orchestra music, was provided by the bride’s father.
