　　For most young girls who start daydreaming about the day they get married, they picture themselves in a white wedding dress that billows around them as they take that walk down the aisle to stand beside their handsome groom. For most woman, the tradition of being married in a white bridal gown is simply the only option considered and seems to be a tradition that stretches way back into history.

　　But, not every little girl, or woman about to be a bride herself thinks only about a white, dream marriage dress. In fact, many question why it is that the white bridal lunadress is such a strong and deep tradition and wonder where that tradition comes from in the first place.

　　Even though it does seem to be the case, the fact of the matter is that women have not always been dressed in white for their wedding ceremonies. It is not even really known exactly when the tradition of wearing a white wedding dress truly took root, but because it is such a deep-seated tradition now, it seems like it has been a tradition that has always been practiced.

　　Perhaps one reason why the tradition of white wedding dresses is so strongly ingrained in society today is because, since the era of photography, it seems that the perfect marriage dress has always been captured in images of white. Since we don't have photographs of weddings of long bygone eras, the tendency is for people to leap to the assumption that marriage dresses have always been white.
