A wedding dress is a formal gown designed for the bride. Most often white, the wedding dress comes in a variety of styles and textures. It has served as a signature ceremonial dress worn throughout the ages, and while its design has evolved, most wedding dresses maintain much of their original classic style.

Wedding Dress Background
From the Medieval Ages to today, the wedding dress has been designed to signify one of the most important and elegant events in a woman's life. No matter what her social status, each woman strives to wear the perfect dress on the day of her nuptials.While we know the wedding dresses of today to be mostly white, it wasn't until Queen Victoria chose white for her dress in 1840 that it became popular. In the 1920s, veils were popular along with dresses featuring shorter fronts and longer trains. The 1940s favored a more Victorian style of dress, and more recently wedding dresses still often maintain long trains, the Victorian design and the color white. However, it is more and more common to find dresses that are shorter, sleeker and come in different shades such as eggshell, ivory and even black.
