White Bride Gowns
2013
Wedding Gowns are in the color white. Were
wedding
dresses
always in white or is this a new occurrence? Do brides have to wear white wedding
dresses
because wearing another color brings bad luck to the marriage?
Tracing back history, women wanted to look wonderful on their wedding day. The rich were able to afford expensive dyes for colors like red, purple and black. Thus, their dresses were of the boldest colors. They also used furs and dresses were made with precious gems to help the bride stand out from the crowd.

Women from well to do families work silks and velvet while
the poor
girl’s dress was made of linen or fine wool. The color of the girl’s
gown was a determining factor of luck. Pink was believed
to be unlucky but good for a May wedding. Green was unpopular
because it invited fairies to the ceremony. The color green also
believed to call for rain.
