White was still not the traditional wedding colour and was considered rather Mary Queen of Scots was one of the first women to wear white when she married Francois II of France. Today, while many new styles and designs have been created, the Victorian full-skirt is still popular with many brides. In the 1940s the obsession with following fashion trends stopped as the Victorian full-skirted designs came back into fashion.
They were worn with cloche-style wedding veils. In the 1920s fashion dictated that wedding dresses be shorter in the front than at the back and that they have a long train. Those who couldn't afford anything new wore their best church dress on their wedding day. Another factor indicative of the wealth and social standing of the bride was the amount of material used. Even though centuries passed and styles came and went, brides continued to dress in the most fashionable clothes, made from the richest and boldest materials that money could buy.
The styles and colours of the wealthier brides were copied by the brides of lower social standing as best as they could. Fur, velvet and silk were often incorporated into the design. The higher the social standing of the bride, the richer the colours and the more expensive the fabrics used. During the medieval period, when a wedding was a matter of politics above all else, brides had to dress in a way that would best reflect their families.
As with all types of clothing, the wedding dress has changed in style and fashion throughout the ages.
