White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown.

While white remains a popular choice, contemporary brides often opt for a variety of colors and styles, breaking away from the traditional norm. While a white gown might automatically make one think of a wedding dress or bridal down, in many cultures brides wear other colors. For instance in China and India, red is a popular choice.
Like many other fashion categories, bridal gowns and wedding dresses are influenced not only by the red carpet but also by runway shows, movies and celebrity weddings à la the stunning Carolina Herrera gown that Kristen Stewart wore in Twilight was so well received that it eventually became a part of the Carolina Herrera Bridal Collection.
In recent years, Champagne and Blush wedding gowns have become very popular. Additionally during the Covid 19 era, many brides opted for short white gowns and dresses.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
Why yes! This does come in pink! When it comes to choosing the perfect accent color for your bridal shower dress, pink is a gorgeous choice. Not only is pink a beautiful bridal party color, but it also adds an unexpected element to your stunning little white dress.
