    The History of the White Wedding Dress

    The outfit that can never be repeated: the white wedding dress. Contrary to popular belief, the white wedding dress isn’t as traditional as you might think. Wedding fashion and specifically what the bride wears has always been about a girl’s best look, and white wasn’t always included in that. In this episode, we dive into the popularisation of this staple in wedding fashion and what that looks like in 2025. For those of you watching along on Youtube, peep the photos of Michelle and Natalie's wedding dresses included in the video! ;) https://daily.jstor.org/a-natural-history-of-the-wedding-dress/   https://cardinalscholar.bsu.edu/bitstream/handle/123456789/200423/A374_2016RossiBrittani-opt.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y   https://www.zuhairmurad.com/en/couture-ss22   https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/every-single-dress-paris-hilton-wore-during-her-marathon-wedding-weekend   https://weddedwonderland.com/the-main-stage-fashion-moments-of-2022-new-york-bridal-fashion-week/   https://fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/1840-queen-victorias-wedding-dress/  https://www.brides.com/weddings-in-post-covid-world-5096663
