Queen Victoria in her wedding dress by Winterhalter, 1842. The first answer is more or less accurate, but glosses over centuries of white wedding dresses worn before Queen Victoriaâs wedding, and decades of coloured wedding dresses after her wedding, and also doesnât explain why Victoria wore a white wedding dress.
In order to stimulate and support the lace industry, Victoria chose for her wedding dress a large piece of handmade Honiton lace (read more about it here, on my now defunct textile blog). The rest of the dress then became a vehicle to showcase the lace, and white was chosen as the most suitable colour to do this.
