White wedding dresses have been in the forefront of bridal fashion since Queen Victoria broke with the royal tradition of wearing a silver dress and opted for white for her wedding attire.  However, white was not always the "traditional" color.  **** In fact, in early Saxon days, the poorer bride was dressed in a long, plain white robe.  This was a public statement that she brought nothing with her to the marriage. **** Brides of higher social standing simply wore their Sunday-best or the favorite fashion and color of the times.  **** Chinese brides traditionally selected red gowns, to symbolize celebration. **** Icelandic brides chose black velvet embroidered with silver and gold. **** Brides of ancient Israel wore a blue ribbon on the shoulder of their robes to symbolize purity, fidelity and love. **** Married in white, you have chosen alright Married in green, ashamed to be seen Married in gray, you will go far away Married in red, you will wish yourself dead Married in blue, love ever true Married in yellow, you're ashamed of your fellow Married in black, you'll wish yourself back Married in pink, your spirits will sink Married in brown, you'll live out of town Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl. ~Anonymous Victorian Verse~
