Wedding
DressesUndoubtedly, a
wedding is one of the most precious and memorable moments
in life. To make this occasion more remarkable, certain
customs have been practiced, like the special wedding
dress, the wedding cake, etc. The bride’s dress is given
special importance and care is taken to make her look like
an angel in her beautiful wedding gown. The phrase,
“dressed up,” is perfectly suited for a wedding, where both
the bride and the groom are in their best attire.
The wedding dress is the dress worn by the bride during the
wedding ceremony. “Dress maketh a man.” Befittingly, the
wedding dress or the bridal gown is usually gorgeous and
graceful to reflect the most precious moment in life--marriage.
The color, texture, design, etc. of the wedding gown is
naturally the bride’s choice. White is a popular color for
American wedding dresses, as white is associated with qualities
like purity, peace and chastity. Nevertheless, the gown may
also be in shades of white like ivory or eggshell.
The background of the wedding governs the nature of the wedding
attire. In other words, the society, the culture, and the
customs followed by the parties involved in the wedding are key
factors in the making of the wedding dress.
In the earlier days, any color other than black or red was
acceptable for the wedding gown. A face veil was also worn. The
custom of wearing a white dress at a wedding was imitated from
the royal weddings, wherein the queen wore a beautiful white
wedding gown with a long train behind. This idea was gained
from peacocks, which were honored as royal birds.
For the Chinese, the red dress is the most preferred one for
weddings. The Chinese consider red to be a lucky color. The
Indians also consider red as a color of good omen, so brides in
India wear a red sari, which is bright and colorful too. But
this color is avoided in Western countries.
