Long white gowns became a symbol of virginal purity and until the turn of the century, a Bride wore any colour except green, which signified jealousy. Some brides still opt for colours, more so if it is a second marriage.
When a bride takes the vows in a white bridal gown, it carries a strong symbolism that the bride is marrying with purity of mind and heart and is committed to her groom. In a broader sense, white refers to the purity of the marriage and the marriage vows.
