Who Started The White<br />
Wedding Dress Trend?<br />
Royal weddings <strong>and</strong> marriages between<br />
the circles of prominent figures garner a<br />
lot of coverage, even more so than today.<br />
The smallest details were the biggest<br />
matters for the publicists as much as for<br />
the common people, considering that<br />
in those times, people led hushed lives,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a famous event was all it took to<br />
cause a stir.<br />
On February 10, 1840, Queen Victoria<br />
married her cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-<br />
Coburg <strong>and</strong> Gotha: a historical wedding<br />
that led to the big boom in the white<br />
wedding dress trend. Queen Victoria<br />
wore a wedding dress crafted in white<br />
Honiton lace <strong>and</strong> chose a flower crown<br />
in place of a tiara for a more realistic<br />
approach.<br />
White on a bride symbolises purity <strong>and</strong><br />
virginity as popular belief has it, but<br />
that wasn’t the reason behind Queen<br />
Victoria’s intention to garb in white.<br />
She wore white to support <strong>and</strong> boost<br />
the declining dem<strong>and</strong> for h<strong>and</strong>made<br />
Honiton lace owing to the rise of the<br />
factory-made textiles in the industrial<br />
revolution.<br />
