Wedding Traditions & Customs Part 1 - Wedding Gown Color

Ever wonder why the traiditonal wedding gown is white? Many couples incorporate customs into their weddings but do not know the origin of these traditions. The original wedding gown was red. In some cultures, red signifies luck. In Biblical times, blue was a traditional color because it signifies purity. Today, the color blue is represented as the "something blue" for the bride on her wedding day.

Supposedly, the first all white wedding dress was worn sometime around the late 1400s. The white gown is a tradition of Japan and Greece. White was worn to represent innocence and purity. Today, white and ivory are the most popular gowns for many brides. The most daring brides will wear whatever color suits them, even black.

Browse websites for listings and ask salons in your area about getting on their mailing list. Already found the dress of your dreams? Don't rely on a deal on eBay to save you from paying the full price. You must be a wise and flexible shopper to find what you want for a price you like. Changing gown fabrics is a better way to save and the difference can be significant (sometimes $1,000 or more).
