Before The<br />
Mid-19th Century<br />
In the early days of the 19th century,<br />
white for a bride was not only seen as<br />
non-traditional, but quite an unusual<br />
choice for a wedding. With that in<br />
mind, brides weren’t supposed to<br />
pick anything they won’t wear again.<br />
Instead, they wore their fanciest of<br />
dresses, <strong>and</strong> were expected to repeat<br />
them, even if it meant donning their<br />
best black dress, which the lower<br />
classes often practised.<br />
White posed to be a financially unfit<br />
option for the brides-to-be, since<br />
it isn’t <strong>and</strong> wasn’t the easiest of<br />
colours to care for, but the concept<br />
that a wedding dress was meant to<br />
be worn only once didn’t sit well with<br />
the community. There was freedom<br />
of choice in fabrics, embellishments<br />
<strong>and</strong> colours, unlike the strict rules<br />
followed today not only in regards<br />
to wearing white but all the sartorial<br />
decisions associated with it.<br />
