The White Dress
The wearing of a white dress is a fairly new tradition. Well. It was Queen Victoria who made it popular. Before then, brides wore the best thing they owned and if they had money, they wore layers of silk and furs.
The Bridal Veil
The bridal veil is a symbol of modesty and virginity and was used to ward off evil. Some say it was so the groom couldn’t see how ugly the bride was until it was too late.
