 As my information the white wedding dress was orignated in 1840 – by Queen victoria .Queen Victoria chose white not because it symbolized purity, but because she wanted to show her people that she would run the country in an economical way. White was a much less expensive color to make than the colors typically popular for wedding dresses at the time (red, black, and purple). Plus, it gave her the option of using some lace that she already owned, rather than having something specially made.

So basically, the white dress was originally a political move.and till our days white wedding dress beacome a tradtion women wedding dress for most all over the world countries .so whats your opinon ? do you have any more information and ideas about it?

white means pure, clean and honest. The color of wedding dresses is not only white but also ivory, champagne, red and so on. White wedding dress is very common. In China, the brides also wear red wedding dress.

Interesting. I didn’t know any of this. When I see a long white dress on a grown woman my first thought is “bride”. With other colors I don’t immediately think that. I link it more to bride than to purity for some reason. I saw an Sudanese Arab womans red wedding dress once. It was stunning. A beautiful red silk inlaid with gold thread. It looked fabulous on her but among my race and culture, red is a very rare color for a bride. When I’ve attended the weddings of widows they’ve seemed to prefer blue for some reason. Interesting topic. colors and cultures.
