1 white wedding dress, as a common dress for brides at wedding ceremonies or receptions, was first introduced to China from the west. Before the May 4th Movement, China people still advocated red when they got married, and it was absolutely forbidden to wear white clothes. Among the traditional wedding dresses, the most commonly used one is the one with a feather crown. At the beginning of last century, white wedding dresses began to appear in China and gradually merged into the wedding culture in China. In addition, white wedding dresses have become popular in some big cities in Shanghai and become a fashion. In the 1950s, due to historical reasons, there was a fault in the wedding dress. When a young couple holds a wedding, the bride likes to wear a lapel shirt and the groom wears a tunic suit. In the 1980s, the white wedding dress reappeared and the classic cheongsam was banned, which has continued to this day.
As the mainstream color of weddings, white has its profound historical roots. During the feudal rule of China, women's status was low, and people attached great importance to women's chastity, requiring girls to be chaste before marriage, which reflected the color of the bride's wedding dress. Even some places stipulate that white wedding dresses are girls' patents, and women who remarry or have lost their virginity cannot wear white wedding dresses. People think that the bride should be the purest and most beautiful on her wedding day, and white is the only color that can match her.
With the progress of society, various wedding colors emerge one after another, and brides boldly put on wedding dresses of various colors. Different colors fully reflect the different personality of the bride, which makes the bride look particularly glorious on this special day.
