Why should the bride wear a white dress? Do you have asked yourself about this question? Here, I would like to say something about the origin of the white wedding.
Wedding ceremony exists in the world since ancient times, but history about bride wearing wedding dress is less than 200 years. The white wedding dress, a full-length skirt which swept the ground, was the ceremony garment of Catholic. In some ancient European countries, due to the system of government—unification of the state and the church, people have to go to church to get married. There, the priest or pastor will give the new couple prayer and blessing. Then, it can be considered a formal legal marriage. Therefore, the brides wear a white wedding to express their sincerity and purity. 
Before the 19th century, there is no unified color and specification for the wedding dresses in the western countries. The white gradually become widely used color in wedding ceremony until 1820.This is because the British Queen Victoria wore a white elegant wedding dress. Since then, the white wedding becomes a formal wedding dress. Nowadays, some people do not understand the origin of wedding; they make their wedding dress in pink or light blue to make difference and to show gorgeous. However, according to Western customs, only married women, they can choose pink or sky blue one to show differences with the first marriage. However£¬there are many kinds of styles to be chosen, such as the
short sleeve wedding dresses, strapless wedding dresses and tea length wedding dresses, etc.
