Traditional wedding dresses around the world
The white dress became fashionable and became an integral symbol of the wedding ceremony only in the XIX century thanks to Queen Victoria. She became the first woman to wear a white dress for her wedding. Until this momentous moment, women chose an outfit that corresponded to the fashion of that era.
Nowadays, it is rare to see a bride in something not white. However, among some peoples, especially in Asia and Africa, young people prefer a national wedding costume.
