Did you know that wedding gowns were not always white? The white wedding dress tradition started in Britain with the wedding of Queen Victoria in 1840. She was the first to wear a white wedding dress. Soon after other women wanted to copy her, just like we copy what celebrities wear today! Therefore, wearing a white dress didn’t have anything to do with purity. In fact, it meant wealth since only a wealthy woman could afford to wear an all white dress just once.
The majority of women these days continue to wear white at their weddings regardless of the nature of their relationships. Now in the 21st century wearing white symbolizes a women's new beginning; her new life begins on her wedding day! However, Chinese, Indians and Mexicans have traditions of wearing red. Color means different things to different people. Remember it’s your day so have it your way.
Chao!
