Revealed!!! How the traditional white wedding dress started and by whom.
The tradition of a white wedding is commonly credited to Queen Victoria's choice to wear a white wedding dress at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840.

Royal brides before Victoria did not
typically wear white, instead choosing "heavy brocaded gowns embroidered with white and red.

As accounts of Victoria's wedding spread across the Atlantic and throughout Europe elites followed her lead. They were favored primarily as a way to show the world that the bride's family was so wealthy and so firmly part of the leisure class that the bride would choose an elaborate dress that could be ruined by any sort of work or spill.
Etiquette books then began to turn the practice into a tradition and the white gown soon became a popular symbol of status that also carried "a connotation of innocence and sexual purity."
By the end of the 19th century the white dress was the garment of choice for elite brides.
However, middle-class British and American brides did not adopt the trend fully until after World War II. With increased prosperity in the 20th century, the tradition also grew to include the practice of wearing the dress only once.
And so we have it today.
So there it is.
