Why Do Brides Wear White On Their Wedding Day?

View Quoted Comment Exactly! I deserve a white dress! Specially since I never thought I would do this again. I'm happy 😊

I haven’t gotten my dress yet, but definitely will be where a shade of white not straight up white though, bc I just don’t like how it looks on me

Initially I was NOT going to wear white because it felt too traditional. So, for months I was set on wearing gold (prior to picking our venue). But 2 weeks ago I envisioned the gold dress inside of our venue (and next to my FH). 🤔 That’s when I realized that it wasn’t going to look good.

Reasons being... our ceremony and reception rooms are within the same venue but have two distinctly different colors inside on the walls and furniture (which completely sold us along with the fact that it is not a typical wedding venue). Given the colorful rooms, FH and I are going to wear one accent color for the ceremony and then change accent colors for the reception (FH is going to changing his jacket & bowtie, while I change jewelry, dress sash/belt, hair flowers and shoes). So instead, I decided to go with a simple & classic ivory dress that doesn’t have embellishments. That way I can add the color and pizzazz without it clashing. Excitedly, I’ve already found the dress and it’s perfectly perfect for the venue and the vision.

I'm glad you found the perfect dress!

View Quoted Comment I definitely want A line because it’s best for my shape, other then that probably either with lace or beading, I want it to have something unique about it, I just haven’t found that yet. So, I decided to give it a break for a bit since I have a lot of time. Your dress is beautiful by the way!

A English Queen started the traditional white dress. Normally a bride wore a colored gown to show status. I think white is beautiful on darker skin tones. Ivory is classic to me.

That is a very flattering style. Lace or beading? Why chose one? Get both! Lol.

Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Are you going to wear an ivory dress?

I’m wearing.... BLACK!!

View Quoted Comment Lovely! Tell me more ...

View Quoted Comment All black wedding dress. Custom made with a long black veil as the train. Pics to come.

A white dress wasn’t my first choice at all, not even a thought... but since I was open to trying on everything when I did put a white dress on I was stunned at how great I looked in it... was very pleasantly surprised and it did make me instantly feel like a bride.

View Quoted Comment Sounds absolutely stunning!

View Quoted Comment What color wedding dress did you decide to go with?

I’m wearing ivory with a champagne ish color under the dress.

View Quoted Comment White! with pewter accents and rhinestone straps

At my first wedding, I wore an off-white because white was tradition. I wanted that traditional bride thing.

For my second wedding, I'm going to have a rainbow dress because that's going to be our theme. I've already done the traditional wedding thing. And I'm not a virgin, so nixing the white dress in favor of something with the theme just makes more sense.

View Quoted Comment Sounds beautiful!
