You may be surprised to learn that the reason the wedding dress is white has nothing to do with the supposed virginal purity of the bride.
When a woman gets married it is the happiest day of her life: wrapped in a white dress full of lace and veils, she is the center of attention of her family and friends, quite an event! Hundreds, thousands, millions of women get married every day in the world, many of them in white, but why? Why not red, blue or purple? You will be surprised to know that, precisely, before the 19th century, royalty used to marry bright colors like these.
What happened? Why did all brides start wearing white at their weddings? It was not to symbolize her virginity and her purity, as everyone thinks, not at all, in fact the reason is much closer to our current reality: a famous imposed fashion. According to the British portal MarieClairethe aristocrat in question is none other than Queen Victoria of England herself, who in 1840 married Prince Albert completely dressed in white.
In addition to Queen Victoria of England, the reason why today we all want to get married in white was the nascent photography, thanks to which the wedding portraits of this woman -very famous in her time- went around the world and were seen by millions of people, who imitated her, just as it happens today with entertainment. In part it was the print media, which were in full swing, to blame for wedding dresses being white today.
