The History Of The White Wedding Dress

The history of the white wedding dress isn?t really that old, dating back only 180 years. Surprised" Us too! In all actuality, the trend of wearing white on your wedding day began in Britain in 1559 (461 years ago) when Mary Queen of Scotts said ?I do? to her beloved first husband Francis Dauphin of France. But the world didn?t give her credit for starting the trend. It wasn?t until 1840 (180 years ago) when Queen Victoria chose to marry Prince Albert in a stunning white court dress that the white wedding dress trend was born. Source of facts: Wikipedia
