While Mary, Queen of Scots wore a white wedding gown for her first marriage in 1559, the tradition of white wedding dresses was solidified by Queen Victoria in 1840. Curiously, white dresses were the purview of royalty for centuries, due to the difficulty of keeping them clean.
White wedding dresses were widely popular with upper-class brides in England and American by the end of the 19th century. However, lower and middle-class brides didn’t fully adopt the tradition until after World War II. Also, post-war prosperity spurred the tradition of only wearing a wedding dress once. Before that, a bride would likely restyle the dress to wear again.
Modern wedding gowns come in every style you can imagine, from traditional, long-sleeved lace dresses, to strapless, backless, silk gowns. There is a style and size for every bride, at wedding dress boutiques in Ohio. Some incredible designers specialize in perfecting the tradition of the beautiful white wedding gown.
In addition to off-the-rack wedding dresses, gowns can be custom-designed, for one-of-a-kind and highly personalized wedding dress. It’s your special day, and you deserve a dress that your guests will remember. In fact, such a beautiful dress can become a family heirloom, handed down from mother to daughter.
