Why is it tradition to choose a white wedding dress?
Depends on what tradition you follow. The white wedding dress was introduced by Queen Victoria and symbolized wealth because only royalty could afford a white dress that would only ever be worn once. Therefore it has nothing to do with purity or virginity…blue was considered the color of purity until white took it’s place. Then everyone else followed suit after that. Prior to that though, women got married in their best dress that they already owned which would be any color, red, blue, green, etc.
