Wedding celebrations aren't only just events in which couples celebrate their union under the holy matrimony. It is also an event full of traditions, from the exchange of gifts and wedding rings, to the way the wedding is proceeded, all are set under years of traditional practice of wedding celebrations. But one of the most traditional element of every wedding is the what the bride wears for the wedding, the Bridal gown. A wedding dress or a wedding gown is clothing worn by a bride during a wedding ceremony. Color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants.

Western culture of wedding gowns
Today, Western Bridal dresses are usually white, though "wedding white" includes creamy shades such as eggshell, ecru and ivory. One of the first women to wear white at her wedding was Mary Queen of Scots, when she married François II of France. However, white was not then a tradition but rather a choice and one considered inauspicious, since white was the official colour of mourning in France at the time. Today, the white dress is normally understood merely as the most traditional and popular choice for weddings.

Eastern culture
Many Bridal dresses in China, India (wedding sari) and Vietnam (in the traditional form of the Ao dai) are colored red, the traditional color of good luck and auspiciousness. Nowadays, many women opt not to wear red and choose other colors. In modern Chinese weddings, the bride usually opts for the white Western dress or changes from a white gown to a red gown later in the day and sometimes a gold-colored gown later on.
