Did you know that during the time of Queen Victoria, that you could wear whatever color wedding dress that you wanted? The "White Dress" came along when the Queen wanted to be different and wear white lace. The women wanted to be "rich looking" for their big day, so everyone started wear the white lace wedding dress.
SO
A White Wedding dress was a Fashion Statement/Trend that was started by the Queen in the 1800's when marrying Prince Albert.
AND
White does not mean purity, it means Wealthy, Rich. White for a ceremony was actually worn as a color of Royal mourning
AND
the Tradition was to take a piece of the Wedding Dress for good luck, so people would just start ripping off pieces of the Wedding Dress and of course, there were alot of fights between the Bride & the guest,
SO
The custom of tossing the bouquet became an alternative to the old tradition of the "tearing of the wedding dress".
AND
it allowed the bride's gown to remain intact. It should not be forgotten that the lady who catches the bouquet is the next woman to be married.
SO
For all the women who want to wear an all Pink Wedding Dress, you can.
Hope that you learned something today!
Bless
