In every age, marriage and the day of marriage were more than simply two people joining their lives. It deserved a celebration, a festival, and it was natural that everything about that day was special. It has always been inevitable for the bride, who carries renewal, future and hope, to have a special dress. When happiness is mentioned, young girls imagine themselves on that day and in that special outfit, and they continue to dream today.

Although similar models have become widespread all over the world since the 20th century, very different clothes were used as wedding dresses between cultures and nations before mass production. In almost every culture, a wedding dress has a much broader and deeper meaning than a practical garment.

The richest, most elegant and ostentatious form of an outfit has always been a wedding dress. The best fabrics, rich embroidery, materials and the most meticulous craftsmanship in the tailoring world have always been used for bridal gowns. The dress that the bride will wear on the wedding day has been created with the effort spent over the years in many cultures and the elements transferred between generations. Legacies passed on from mothers to their daughters became parts of the wedding dress.

Even after the birth of mass production, bridal gowns continued to carry the craftsmanship, top quality materials and rich symbolism that made them special. The tastes and fashions of every age were reflected in the wedding dress style. For example, skirts reaching below the knees or just above the ankles were in fashion until the 1940s, but after this date, long, full skirts reaching the ground, similar to the 19th century fashion, came to the fore.

Although the tradition of the color white, which is accepted as a symbol of purity and cleanliness, is common today, although with different shades, many colors, even black, as in Northern Europe, were used as a wedding dress color in different centuries. Especially in the Christian world, wedding dresses in blue, which are associated with the Virgin Mary, were the most common.

The color white, which was the color of mourning until the 1500s and was not widely accepted until the 1800s, became the dominant wedding dress color in the following centuries. After the invention of photography, it is said that the wedding photos of Queen Victoria of England, who wore a white wedding dress at her wedding in 1840, played a role in the spread of the color white.

In some Native American tribes, the wedding dress was knitted by the groom and formed with embellishments contributed by other men in the community. These ornaments, decorated with beads and bird feathers, were used as a talisman against hunger, poverty and bad luck throughout life, and were buried with the person they belonged to after death. In some communities, clothing was in colors that symbolized the four directions: white for the east, orange for the west, blue for the south, and black for the north.
