Why are wedding dress white?

a white wedding dress used to symbloize purtiy and virginity. Many people like a white wedding dress now for traditional purposes, i have got my wedding dress already and it is ivory, just off white, i chose not to get white as I have a child and one on the way therefore i am not pure to the church.

some one told me there is only white wedding dress. http://www.bestwholesaletoday.com

I never been married before but I think wedding dress were white because it serves as a peacefulness, purity and sacredness of that event that the two couples are going to share.

actually, white dresses are a fairly recently developed tradition that has just stuck. until recent history, most people wouldn't have a wedding dress as such. they would wear either the best dress they owned, or if they could afford it would buy a dress for the occasion, which would then be worn on other occasions in normal life. so the white wedding dress was a symbol of status. it was showing off, basically, to the guests that you could afford to buy a special dress for the occasion that would probably not be worn again, as it was so expensive to produce a true white cloth, and difficult to maintain it's colour. so basically it was to display to other people. you could afford a special dress for the occasion that you might not wear again purity has nothing to do with it. it originates in a rather vulgar display of wealth.

the white dress is traditional. It's a way of symbolizing purity, along with the veil. another symbol for it was the crown made out of orange flowers. Usually in those types of ceremony, everything has a meaning.
