Who’s gonna tell him that white dresses only became tradition after queen Victoria decided she wanted to be controversial and wear a color that was worn at funeral to her wedding. Before her most wedding dresses were red or purple.

Black actually. Purple was for royalty only.

In most Asian cultures, white and blue are associated with death and they represent the soul leaving the body. Red is the favorite for brides, whereas gold and black is acceptable for guests.

[@bunnyoppress]

@@gnarbeljo8980 sumptuary laws didn't actually mean you weren't ALLOWED to wear a certain color. And the "rule" only really applied to Tyrian Purple. In reality, there would be a fine for wearing clothes outside your rank and many paid the fines a flex saying "I'm so rich, I'll wear whatever I want". The main reason why white dresses became so mainstream was conspicuous consumption. All-white garments were very difficult to maintain.

White is NOT the tradicional wedding colour. (other commenters already said how white is originated by Queen Victoria) 2. White is NOT the colour of purity. The colour of purity actually is baby blue because of Saint Maria/ Mary Magdalene. White is the colour of CHASTITY. 3. White as a weddig colour NEVER orginated from the Bible.

Before that, brides wore a lovely dress that they could wear again for balls. But with Victoria wearing an impractical white dress, the dressmakers saw a market for a dress that would be worn only once, so they jumped on the 'white to symbolise virginity' thing. Then families wanted to show they could dress their daughter in a dress that could only be worn once. Bottom line, it's a well-documented human construct.

@Tarsa Dennis yes! All over Europe. White was for funerals, purples reserved for royalty only, blue and eapecially Lapis Lazuli blue , made from the gemstone was only for the Madonna in paintings, and really blue dye was a later invention. White in most cultures denotes funerals, spirits of the dead, formality and humble attire and shrouding. Bright colors that weren’t derived from common plants and earthtone minerals were very expensive and came later with manmade synthetic dyes and colors. The whole white wedding tradition is very young, mid 19th century in many places! Also up until then, in most parts of Europe, commoners often wore home woven and sewn regional folk lore outfits that they’s worked on and would use later for all festive, formal occasions, colorful and precious, but not forreign silks or imported colors. In Scandinavia a bride tended a myrtle from which branches were used for the crown denoting her virginity. Non-virgins were forbidden crowns. Pure white (and bleach in general) came much later, all was governed by traditions but also strict rules of class. Breaking them was a serious crime.

I love how conservative religious Dad is talking about tradition and biblical times...does he know that white dresses for weddings were introduced by Queen Victoria in the 1800's and before that brides usually just wore their best dress in any colour? Biblical times...uh huh. This color scheme has more to do with Victorian ideas of virgins and weddings and purity-associations that almost certainly did not exist in the ancient world. So really it's nothing to do with religion, and its all to do with his male ideas of what women should wear.

[@arcradire1559]

That's the issue though: male ideas of women should wear literally fits Christianity and Islam and it's..... Problematic

[@gigiis526]

Saving sex for marriage is the proper viewpoint all the time! God never changes.

[@konodioda39]

​@@arcradire1559 but in Islam men have dress code rules they need to follow too. It's not just women, for example men cannot dye their hair black, they cannot wear gold or satin, and they cannot dress in clothes over knee length. I get what you mean for example in Saudi Arabia and other countries they force women to cover their faces even though it's not required by islam, so what you're talking about is the tradition and culture not the religion I'm not a Christian so I can't speak about it but I think that men twist the rules in the same way to take control over women.

[@ilz_y]

@@konodioda39 there are actually very few rules regarding women’s clothing in the Bible. Some are in the Mosaic law, which actually had *more* rules for men. Christians are also not under the Mosaic law and most Jewish people do not abide by the rules strictly either. The only references to women’s clothing in the New Testament are warning against flaunting wealth, because there were a lot of rich wives in the church who adorned themselves in expensive clothing. St Paul warned against it to prevent division in the church. Nothing to do with “purity.”
