One would be hard press to find a bride that is still a virgin when she walks down the aisle. (well, from the Western world that is) so the white representing purity i not always true. At the end of the day, it is the bride-to-be decision on the colour of her gown and most would select the traditional white. I find from personal experience, most females who remarry tend not wear white again on their second, third and fourth marriages. My mother worn a greyish silver wedding dress for her second wedding and my stepmother worn a off white, almost a beige wedding dress.
Virginity has nothing to do with it any more, and in most communities no one is going to ask a prospective bride whether she is a virgin or not (except maybe the groom, earlier in their relationship). For a long time now, the tradition has been that a woman wears white for her first wedding, but does not wear white if at some later point in life she gets remarried. It is, of course, up to you whether you want to adopt the wedding customs of your own cultural or religious tradition as your own.
Not necessarily, but it's definitely tradition. But, being in the 21st century, most things have changed. Bridesmaid dresses used to be either white/black, and if you've seen "27 Dresses", you know how drastically that has changed. Be unique, and be different! Your wedding day is all about you, so make the color match your personality, if that's the case.
No, you do not have to but it is tradition. White is meant to symbolise virginity, but who's a virgin these days anyway. Wear what you want, but white is traditional and in my opinion, white wedding dresses are nicer.
Absaloutly not it is you wedding and your choice. Even if the groom disagrees,, hes not the one wearing it! But if your being tradiional then yes,,, Have fun and be yourself!! and congradulations
It's tradition and a lot of people like to follow traditions when getting married. Although a Swedish cousin of mine wore a black dress to her wedding and looked absolutely gorgeous.
You don't have too. I've seen pictures were women were red dresses. It's traditional to wear white but it's personal preference as to what colour you want.
no you dont have to. its what the "tradition" is but personally goin to have a black dress you could do red or any other color you would like

Traditionally you wear white if you are a virgin. If not then its any other color. But its your wedding so its your choice :)
No, just tradition. No one likes to be their own and change it up a bit lol. I would love to see some crazy color dresses!
No you don't have too but i would. If i wanted id add a pop of color buy adding a felt belt around my waste or something.
nope, my auntie wore a light blue dress :) its your wedding, wear what you want? you could wear pyjamas if you wanted :P
No, its up to you. Personal preference. But I think the white symbols purity so it is traditional to do so.
