Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum echoed Cr Fyffe’s comments and said as Arts Minister, Mr Baillieu had been a champion for the arts.

The White Wedding Dress, Bendigo | Polka Dot Bride
Celebrating 200 years of the White Wedding dress this exhibition is showing, in conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, wedding gowns from the early 1800′s until today. It may not be widely known that Queen Victoria popularised the wearing of a white gown for weddings when she married Prince Albert, the Duke of Sussex and younger son of a German Duke in 1840. Prior to this the bride wore her best dress and accessorised that for her nuptials. Victoria’s bold statement in white started the trend which in some ways still continues today. Though now not necessarily white, the wedding dress has it’s own unique place in culture.
