I ddynion, roedd hetiau silc yn hanfodol,
fel yr oedd cotiau â chynffon gyda thwll botwm arbennig yn y llabed
i ddal blodyn. Mynd a dod wnaeth y ffasiwn o wisgo menig. Byddai tad y
briodferch a'r ystlyswyr yn gwisgo'n debyg i'w gilydd.
Yn aml, bydd morynion yn gwisgo dillad
ffasiynol newydd, fel arfer mewn lliwiau gwahanol fel i beidio â
thynnu sylw oddi wrth y briodferch.
Serch hynny, nid oedd priodasau'n
dilyn y ffasiynau o hyd. Mae'r canlynol sy'n dod o'r Brecon and Radnor
Express yn ddisgrifiad o briodas yn Aberhonddu yn 1891:
"On Tuesday morning last the Plough Congregational chapel in Brecon
was the scene of a very pretty wedding. The parties between whom the
nuptial knot was tied being Mr W P James, son of Mr J James of Brynawel,
Brecon and Miss Eleanor Mary Williams, Viaduct House, Brecon. Both the
young people being very much respected and beloved in the town, a great
amount of interest was taken in the happy event, and although the hour
at which the ceremony was performed was somewhat early, a goodly number
of friends and well-wishers assembled in the chapel. The bride, who
was accompanied by her father, looked exceedingly well in her handsome
dress of grey corded silk with hat to match. She also wore a beautiful
enamelled brooch, the gift of the bridegroom, and carried a bouquet
of bridal flowers (the gift of the best man Mr T D James). The bridesmaids
- Miss Aurelia Williams and Miss Lizzie A Williams - were very prettily
attired in blue (green shaded) bengaline, trimmed with old gold satin,
with hats to match . . . the newly wedded couple and the wedding party
left the chapel under a heavy downpour of rice, and drove to Viaduct
House where the wedding breakfast was partaken of. . ."
