Nowadays, most of the brides in western countries like to wear white wedding dress. This traditional custom can date to 160 years ago. At that time, Queen Victoria of Great Britain wore lily-white wedding dress on her wedding. She was so elegant and holy that everyone who joins the wedding was all attracted by her beautiful wedding dress. Since then, following the step of Queen Victoria, a large number of brides wore lily-white wedding dress on their wedding. Queen Victoria’s lily-white wedding dress caused a big stir at that time. As we all know, white means purity, and white is also a sign of sanctity and faith. What’s more, the remarried brides couldn’t wear the lily-white wedding dress. So white is the unique choice to the brides.
There are different customs in different countries. In Greece, white is the popular color used in the wedding dress, but the accessories of the wedding dress can be other colors instead of pure white. In Rome, brides wore yellow facing yarn. In Chinese tradition customs, red wedding dresses mean luckiness. Because the silver stands for high rank, so at the beginning of the twentieth century, the brides who were the members of the royal family wore the silver wedding dress. According these we can know that brides in different countries wear wedding dress in different colors according to their traditional customs. It is not only the pure white color.
Great changes have taken place in the fashion trend of wedding dress in recently years. Except for these traditional colors such as lily-white, ivory, and poloere, pine wedding dress is becoming increasingly popular now. More and more brides choose the wedding dress with candy pink, orangey pink, power blue, pale purple, grey-sky and light silver grey color. It is so beautiful and grace when the bride wears pink wedding dress. You can add some dark green, purplish red or deep purple color on the pink wedding dress. It is a special effect.

In my opinion, you should choose your wedding dress according to your complexion instead of follow the step of the fashion. The skin of Asian is yellow and a litter dark, so, if the Asian bride’s wear a pure white wedding dress, her face will becomes darker. I think that wearing an ivory wedding dress is a good choice. The skin of occidental is milk and roses or bronze, the occidental bride should choose a pure white wedding dress, and she will be dazzling with it. Certainly, there are so many kinds of colors are used in wedding dress. You can choose wedding dress with a fit color according to your skin and your individual preferences.
