The origin of the white wedding dress is thought to have started with Anne of Brittany for her wedding with Louis VII of France. Up until then, women wore their Sunday Best for their wedding gown. They often wore red or yellow. During biblical times, a blue wedding dress was the most often chosen color. This color was thought to symbolize purity.
During early Roman times, white symbolized joy and celebration. In the last century, the white dress symbolized purity, and today it symbolizes happiness.
Thus we have the White Wedding Dress.
