Here Comes the Bride: The Evolution of Weddings Throughout the 20th Century

In the early 1900s, white has become the customary choice for brides. It all started in the mid-1800s when Queen Victoria of England got married in a white dress. And still, many brides of the 1900s choose to wear azure, mauve or pale pink. High waists, high collars, long trains, long gloves, and veiled hats are also in fashion. In this photo the bride stands slightly behind a seated groom which was the custom of the day. It shows who wears the pants in the family. Interestingly, it later switches to the bride sitting and the groom standing behind her, perhaps as a show of gallantry? Or feminism, more likely.
