White Wedding Dresses Represent A New Beginning!

White wedding dresses date back to ancient Greece and Rome. Where in both civilizations white was a symbol for joy and celebration. It was also believed by both cultures to repel evil spirits.

Ancient Greek bride's accessorized their bridal wear with flame-yellow sandals, to honor Hymen, the God of Marriage.

In later years, Queen Victoria popularized the color white for bridal wear when she wed Prince Albert in 1940. True to the Victorian era, white connoted the purity of a bride there-after.

There are many colored gowns to choose from, but in recent years white has been making a comeback. For second-time brides, white was once considered a faux-pas.

White is a color that represents celebration, and a more liberal generation are choosing to re-marry in pure white to celebrate a "new beginning."

An all white wedding can be extremely elegant. A simple lace or silk white wedding dress paired with white roses and cala lilies are a classic choice. White wedding gowns look fabulous in any fabric or style.

Beading, sequins and many other adornments such as fabric roses look understaed and elegant in all white. If you are considering a white dress for your special day you are in good company.

A white wedding gown has been celebrated as the traditional color of choice to walk down the aisle in for many generations past, in many cultures and era's.
