The white wedding dress became a wedding tradition after Queen Victoria chose to wear a white gown when she married Prince Albert in 1840. Up until then, royalty had worn silver dresses. Until economics improved, women simply wore their “best dress” for their wedding and continued to wear it on special occasions afterward.
