Someone has just told me - someone who probably KNOWS - that nobody would have worn a white wedding dress in the 1600s...

In Jamestown, or anywhere? :)

Those wedding dresses are expensive. The young woman marrying my son is paying $3,000 for her dress.

Generally it was blue but there were the occasional white dress. But usually not pure white.

But then she was rich so it could have been.

BTW Mary Stewart wore a white gown for her first wedding.

That was around 1550.

When I got married, I refused to pay thousands of dollars for a dress that I would wear once in my life.

I bought a nice dress for $300 or maybe $200. And I asked my bridesmaids to get something they could wear again.

I remember reading once that it was Queen Victoria of England who locked in the tradition of the white wedding gown. Not positive if it’s accurate

Yes white wasnt popular until the Victorian era...
