Wedding dress
A wedding dress or wedding gown is the clothing worn by a bride during a wedding ceremony. Color, style and traditional significance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants. In Western cultures, brides often choose a white wedding dress, which was made fashionable by Queen Victoria in the 19th century. In eastern cultures, brides often choose red to represent auspiciousness.
Western culture
Weddings performed during and without delay following the Middle Ages were often more than just a combination between two people. They could be a combination between two families, two businesses or even two countries. Many weddings were more a matter of politics than love, particularly among the nobility and the higher social classes. Brides were so likely to dress in a manner that cast their families in the most favorable light, for they were not representing only themselves during the ceremony. Brides from wealthy families often wore rich colors and special fabrics. It was common to see them wearing bold colors and layers of furs, velvet and silk.
