White Wedding Dresses: Styling Tips & Suggested Fits

Believe it or not, white was not the original color of Western wedding dresses — wealthy brides used to adorn themselves with dresses of the richest materials and colors to flaunt their social standing before their guests. White wedding dresses were not unheard of, but many considered the style too restrained, and plain for the times. It was Queen Victoria who walked the aisle in a stunning white silk and lace gown that began the decades-long tradition of the white wedding dress. While the white dress originally represented purity and innocence, for modern brides wearing white signals a fresh start, and a new chapter of the relationship.

It only makes sense then, that the classic white wedding gown follows the Victorian style with a fitted bodice and long, full skirt. You don’t need us to tell you that white pairs well with every style, but there are plenty of ways to play with a stark white dress. To add subtle shades or shimmer, consider applying satin or tulle overlay or adding embellishments such as beading or sequins to a white gown.

White wedding dresses are the perfect choice for brides with an eye on accessories. For headpieces, make sure the veil and dress share the same shade of white. Traditional brides planning to add something blue to their ensemble will do best with a white dress to avoid potential clashing. Otherwise, considering investing in a beautiful bouquet — the white dress creates a natural backdrop for the flowers clutched in your hands.
