Every culture has their own nuanced wedding traditions?and American weddings are no exception to that rule! Learn what some of the most common of these are below so that you can decide which you want to include in your upcoming wedding.
1. A Bride in White

Brides wearing white wedding dresses is one of the longest held traditions of an American wedding. A huge amount of women in this country opt to follow this tradition, which actually comes from England. Queen Victoria had a fancy and public wedding in the mid-1800s. There, she wore a white dress made of British silk and lace. This gown captured the eyes of the public, and ever since brides across the world have been dressing in white for their walk down the aisle. Although now women tend to put their own spin on the look and dress tends have come and gone, the heart of this tradition has stood the test of time. 2. The First Dance

Another beloved and long-held wedding tradition in America is the first dance. This is one of the most exciting parts of a reception for many couples! This is where newlyweds share a special dance as husband and wife in front of their guests to the song of their choice. This is another tradition that originated in Europe. During the 1700s, noblemen would throw lavish balls and whoever was in attendance with the highest rank or social standing would kick off the party with a first dance. Along the way, that became a tradition for newly married couples at their reception.
