wedding dress color significance image
bestthing8
These dreams were seen very recently, maybe 1 week apart and in both of their dreams I was wearing a red dress! My mom had also seen her dead parents who were demanding that I should wear the red dress that they have chosen for me. Can somebody please tell me something that I might not be able to find out through web pages or traditional sayings?
I would be more then thankful for your answers :)

Hello Ms Bestthing,
The meaning of these dreams is going to depend on what is going on with you and your family at the moment. If you are actually engaged, then I guess that is what the dreams are about. If not, then normally, dreams about weddings are about commitment of some sort. In which case, a dream about an engagement might be about PREPARING for greater commitment and responsibility in your life.
The colour red will depend a lot on your cultural background because red means different things in different cultures. Often it can mean anger or passion, as stated above. On the other hand, red is actually the traditional wedding dress colour in China (and maybe some other countries). I thought it was very interesting that in your Mum's dream, your grandparents "demanded" that you wear this red dress - which kind of implied you didn't want to wear the dress of your own free will. Were your grandparents Chinese by chance? Or is there some Chinese background on your Mum's side? If so, it might be about this somehow. Maybe your Mum is worried that you might be leaving too much of your cultural identity behind or is worried about how many cultural compromises you will have to take.
I guess this interpretation is a bit of a long shot but it was what sprang to mind. It is very interesting that both your Mum and sister had similar dreams, which makes me think that the colour red must have some sort of family or cultural significance, rather than it being an individualistic meaning.
Hope this was helpful, and all the best in your current life situation, whatever that might be!!!

Is ivory wedding dress good for first marriage?
ambercat
I and my finace are going to get married in this May. This is first marriage for both of us. Is there any special issue about the color of a wedding gown that I need to concern? Is ivory an appropriate color for a first marriage couple?
I have tried several gowns: white or ivory. Both of us like an ivory one the best. That is a strapless satin A-line gown featuring a cascading side drape with a flower at waist and a sweep train. The flower and drap are in champagne. We do like the contrast of ivory and champagne. It is very elegant and classy. So, we ordered that gown in ivory although they do have white one available. However, now I am worrying if that color is an appropriate choice since I noticed some people would suggest second marriage brides to wear off white/ivory wedding dress. Could somebody please help me? Thank you so much.
Answer
there is no rule about color. Queen Victoria is generally credited with having started the white wedding dress craze.
In Victorian times, a woman who could afford an expensive white dress for a one-off occasion was thought to be at the top of her social tree.
Because delicate garments were near impossible to keep clean, a wedding dress could be worn just the once and only people with a lot of money could afford to purchase one.
"It was a clear indication you were a wealthy women and that you were marrying into wealth," Dr Summers told Annie.
Prior to Queen Victoria women used to wear every day clothes for the wedding ceremony with a white veil and Orange Blossom to indicate the significance of the event.
It was after World War II the white wedding dress became an indication of a woman's virtue.
Dr Summers said she believes the reason the tradition of the white wedding dress has survived, is due to the lack of romance and excitement in a woman's life.
