Do you have to wear white when your getting married?

No, it’s your wedding. Wear what ever colour you wish. :]

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.

Traditionally you wear white if you are a virgin. If not then its any other color. But its your wedding so its your choice :)

nope, my auntie wore a light blue dress :) its your wedding, wear what you want? you could wear pyjamas if you wanted :P

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.

dont have to. if its going to be the happiest day of your life id rather wear something i would like to wear.white is not my color

I guess its different in each culture.. but the majority wear white..:)

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

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!

I didn’t.

Of course! White symbolizes purity. It’s important for the brides that are still virgin.

thats the only day everyone thinks your an angel

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.

Its your wedding, not thiers, you decide, what is appropaite,,,,,,,k

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.

No, its up to you. Personal preference. But I think the white symbols purity so it is traditional to do so.

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.

no its your wedding it should be the way you whant it

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

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.
