- While Queen Victoria of England is credited with being the first to wear a white wedding gown as a sign of affluence, American brides should feel free to choose any shade of white or ivory or subtle color.
- A veil was once used to cover the bride's head while she was being captured. In other cultures, one was also worn to protect the bride from evil spirits. For brides who seek a more contemporary feel, a headband, tiara or wreath of orange blossoms or other flowers might be the right accessory to complete the headpiece and/or veil.
- Receiving lines, once thought to be the way to share good fortune with everyone the bridal couple touched, are often replaced by couples making their way from table to table during dinner. The important thing to remember is to use the traditions that work for you and feel free to adapt them to your contemporary needs.
