Weddings have always been an excuse for dressing up, but it wasn't until the nineteenth century that it became customary for brides to wear white. It wasn't until the 1930s that the custom of
wearing floor or evening length dresses for formal weddings became
established—before then bridal gowns were hemmed at whatever length was fashionable for day wear at the time.
