Wedding Dress Why White
Provided by: Jorbins.com
Before the 1800's most brides chose to wear blue to follow this old English rhyme.
Married in white, you have chosen all right,
Married in green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in grey, you will go far away,
Married in red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in blue, you will always be true,
Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in black, you will wish yourself back,
Married in pink, of you he'll think.
After Queen Victoria chose to wed Prince Albert (in the 1840's) in a fabulous gown made of white lace that became the wedding dress color of choice.
We all are familiar with the English rhyme: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence for her shoe." But we sometimes forget what it is suppose to represent.
Something old is representative of the bride's past, and something new is the symbol of her hopes for the future. Something borrowed, preferably from a happily married woman, will bring good luck. Something blue, because blue is the traditional color of fidelity, signifies the bride's commitment to her husband and the marriage. Finally, the silver sixpence, or penny, acts as a charm to bring wealth to the newly married couple.
Veils in turn used to represent the brides purity and modesty. Now they are used to add to the final touches of a wedding dress and to frame the bride's face.

Every bride-to-be has a picture of the perfect wedding dress in her mind. She has already chosen the fabric, the most flattering style and color, and the most beautiful beading and lace. However, finding that same gown in a store can sometimes be a challenge. Instead of settling for what's on the rack, consider a custom-made gown.
Brides today have more choices than ever before when they are picking a wedding dress. Many of the old rules have been tossed out. For example, dresses aren't always white, they're not always big and poufy and they don't have to include trains that go on for miles. A bride can feel free to choose a wedding dress that fits her body type and personality.
How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it. - George Elliston
We had shopped for hours, my mom and I, and we were having a ball. We knew in our hearts that we would find just the right dress. Five months remained until the wedding; we had plenty of time; we had lots of patience. And then we found it-at J.C. Penney's Bridal Shop.
I remember standing on a dark blue-carpeted platform, surrounded by mirrors. The clerk brought gown after gown for me to try. I felt like a queen, admired by my mom perched in a cozy, overstuffed chair. As soon as she zipped the back of the third dress, we both knew we had found the one.
