It might seem as if brides happen to be getting married in white forever, but this isn't the case. The trend of wearing an all-white vintage wedding dress dates back to the royalty of Victorian times. Before that, brides wore their finest dresses. The color and materials of the dress varied based on a woman's social status.

Even though colors and styles have changed through the years, brides have always dressed in their finest for the occasion. Royalty and people with a high social standing always dressed in the height of fashion, sparing no expense. Those who had limited means still treated marriage as a special day and dressed as formally his their budgets allowed.

Cinderella, mermaid, and trumpet gowns are stunning and all sorts of, but increasingly more brides are choosing a less traditional method to walk on the aisle: Enter wedding suits.
