Who was the first bride to wear a wedding dress?

1499 The bride's wedding dress at Anne's wedding in Louis XII of France and Brittany was the earliest documented wedding dress. Traditional wedding dresses are usually white, and the tradition of using white can be traced back to the wedding of Queen Victoria in England in 1840. At that time, the queen was wearing a white wedding dress with a tail 18 feet. Official photos were widely published. Many brides want to wear similar wedding dresses. This tradition has been passed down to this day, and the length of the tail also symbolizes the wealth of new people. In the 1960s, 438+0980s, Princess Diana's wedding dress was about 480 feet long.

Before the Victorian era, wedding dresses could be all colors except black (mourning) or red (related to prostitutes). The white wedding dress represents inner purity and innocence, and later evolved into a symbol of virginity. In the1920s after World War I, the change of women's social status also made the style of wedding dresses very different, and the wedding dresses with short skirts appeared. 1940s, because of World War II, it was not easy to make a wedding dress. Therefore, the bride's wedding dress is changed to simple and simple, or she borrows a ready-made wedding dress from relatives and friends. Many mothers also regard their wedding dresses as family heirlooms and let their daughters wear them when they get married.

Newcomers in the East and the West have different taboos on wedding dresses. In the United States, the groom can't see the style of the woman's wedding dress before the wedding, so when choosing the wedding dress, the woman will choose it with her sister or female friend, so most of the wedding photos of American newcomers are taken at the wedding scene.

In eastern society, there is no such taboo. In addition to renting dresses, wedding companies in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong also extend the wedding photography industry, providing exclusive studios, photographers and wedding-related services, helping newlyweds to take wedding photos, and designing brochures and thank-you cards for guests to read at the wedding scene.

In traditional weddings, the veil worn by the bride is usually lifted by the groom. After the two sides exchange rings, the priest or witness declares them to be legal husband and wife. In the past, only brides who got married for the first time were allowed to wear veils, while those who remarried were not allowed. But now many people are unaware of this habit in the past.
