By Dorothy Raj


Unless you're going to have a traditional Eastern wedding, you usually find yourself selecting a white wedding dress for the big day of your life. This is often the chosen color of brides who will wed in a Christian church or a registry office.

The Popularity Of White Wedding Dresses

These became a favored choice because such designs don't require too much skill from the designers, plus they are easy to alter to fit the bride correctly.

It was Queen Victoria who popularized the white gown after marrying her cousin Albert of Saxe-Coburg in 1840. Their wedding was so influential that white dresses became the trademark attire for brides. Although today women wear different colors on their wedding, white is often the preferred color. White color was eventually presumed by many as a symbol of the bride's virginity and purity.
