The tradition of brides wearing white is so customary in Western culture, that it's difficult to imagine a bride wearing anything but. Brides haven't always been married "all dressed in white," however. White has only been the bridal color of choice since the 19th century, when Queen Victoria popularized the color by wearing a white dress for her marriage to Prince Albert. Even then, only after the prosperity that followed the end of World War II did formal, white wedding gowns really take hold in bridal lore. Today, brides still overwhelmingly choose white, but with their own personal touch. The happy brides shown here all added a beautiful twist to an otherwise all white dress with sashes of color.
