The History of White Wedding Dress

wedding dress or wedding gown is the clothing worn by a bride during a wedding ceremony. Color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants.
    There is an old poem about how the color of your wedding dress will influence your future: “Married in white, you will have chosen all right. Married in grey , you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead. Married in blue, you will always be true. Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be seen, Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in brown, you’ll live out of town. Married in pink, your spirits will sink.”

    In Western cultures, brides often choose a white wedding dress, which was made popular by Queen Victoria in the 19th century.Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe in 1840, and wore what would then have been considered a flamboyant white gown.Of course, this did not start the tradition immediately; however, many women saw this as a statement of class and style, and copied the Queen by also getting married in white.The white wedding dress has been used to symbolize innocence, purity and the devotion of the wife to her husband.Over the centuries, the pattern of wedding dress is changing,mermaid wedding dress or short wedding dress,the most popular color of the wedding dress is white.
