Wedding Dress Tradition

I found all the staff in the bridal shop very helpful and extremely patient, Good job the daughter in law had a fair idea of what type she was looking for as we could have been trawling around for years. Having only recently been on the rounds of choosing one with my future daughter in law, I was surprised at the huge array of wedding dresses on display in all colours and styles, plus the numerous shops available.. Nowadays it can be of any colour and type according to the culture and desires of the bride.

Years ago the this was nearly always white signifying the purity of the bride. Probably the most important aspect to organize when getting married is the Wedding Dress itself. Queen Victoria marked a big change in the wedding dress when she married Prince Albert She chose to wear white symbolizing maidenhood and purity and this still continues today. The Greeks still pin money to the brides wedding dress this being the present.

There have also been many different customs associated with the wedding dress, one being that in ancient times the guests would tear off a piece of the dress and keep it for good luck. Over the centuries the style of the wedding dress has changed many times but seems to be on a circular route with styles and colour coming back full circle over the course of time. The wedding is one of the oldest traditions and the dress in its many styles can be traced back as far as the Pharoes.
