wedding dress color trim image
ExcitedBri
Im getting married soon and having an outside wedding. It will be more southern and country and I want to wear cowboy boots. My only issue is what kind of dress will look okay with cowboy boots. I can't seem to find any that show off the boots well. If you can find any pictures of a "hi-to-low" cut wedding dress with boots on it would be greatly appreciated! Any other ideas/color schemes/pictures are open as well. Thank YOU!! :)
Answer
I think you should ask first:
What type of COWBOY BOOTS will look good with a wedding dress.
I think you should go out and buy yourself a beautiful white pair of cowboy boots with golden trims. The hi-lo dress idea is a very good one! You could also opt for a just-below-the-knee, pinched in the waist and really nice and wide at the hem (kinda 50's vibe). You should go with lots of lace for sure!!

How did the theme of a white wedding dress originate?

I mean - I know in the older days they didnt have the wedding dresses of today. How did it come that we started using long white wedding dresses?
Answer
It has nothing to do with the traditional color of purity or virginity. It's actually quite modern. The traditional color of wedding dress that denoted purity was ultramarine blue, the traditional color of the virgin Mary's robes in church icons. Around the 1600's wedding dresses were any color, but they were the fanciest dress a woman owned and the dress was often used for other formal occasions. In the early history of the US yellow was the favourite color of wedding dresses. it symbolized happiness and sunshine because a wedding day was a happy occasion. White wedding dresses first appeared after young Queen Victoria broke with tradition got married in a white dress elaborately trimmed with white laces from the different counties of England. After that all brides wanted to copy the queen and white wedding dresses became more and more popular. As late as the first decade of the 20th century wedding dresses were available in an array of blues, yellows, purples (Another royal color) and white. By the 1920's white had become the most common color. The idea that white symbolizes purity is barely 50 years old.
It also depended on where you lived, in many places white for a wedding is considered bad luck, and in Scandinavian countries black was the preferred color. In some places red was preferred, and as mentioned in the US yellow was the color of choice.
