There is this perceived notion that white gown is synonymous with weddings, a custom that is often assumed to be a nod to old-school values of purity and chastity.
Is there anywhere it was stated in the Bible that Wedding dress should be white?
Ladies will you Rock another colour other than White?
I would re-rock a red wedding dress anyday anytime oh!
What is your view on this?
White for me any day everyday
ReplyDeleteI had a blue dress...
DeleteWho started it... I don't know

DeleteYes o Ed iji ya
Queen Victoria started the white wedding dress. It's not a religion thing but rather she decided to wear a different colour for her wedding and a new trend started. The idea of you being a Virgin ti wear white is also attached to Queen Victoria of England as she was a Virgin when she married.
DeleteI'd totally rock a black wedding dress. No it's not biblical, it originated from Britain after Queen Victoria wore a white dress at her wedding. Borrowed culture is what we practice mostly.
ReplyDeleteVery true, wearing a black wedding dress too is borrowed culture.
DeleteWhite is for purity, either it is borrowed or not it is a sign of purity a day the Bible support not defiling our marriage bed so it is logical to accept white for me.
Delete😂
DeleteYemi7up, reading up on things instead of assuming doesn't kill you know. Blue was considered the color for purity not white. White and black were considered for mourning. Read up please.
DeletePeople do it as a prototype of the bride of the Lord, as described in the Bible . Spotless and without blemish.
ReplyDeleteThat has long been abused cos I see preggy people wear white wedding gown on their day.
DeleteAbi o.
DeleteA belief handed down generations, only a few with a mind of their own dare something different

DeleteThe word, bride connotes purity and glory and undefiled hence white leading to a white wedding gown..lolz but as of today, it has been barstardized.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually the orange blossoms in the bouquet that signifies an undefiled bride.
DeleteI think it started with queen Victoria. The royals used to wear blue dresses but she opted for white and it soon became a trend. I may be wrong but I read that a very long time ago.

Black wedding dress is a YAY for me
Maybe I would rock a white wedding dress to the church then change into a black dress for reception.
Wearing white is not a must.
Just another white man invention.
'Say Yes To The Dress' was a programme I spent a lot of time watching those days.
ReplyDeleteI saw all sorts of wedding gowns with very resolute brides too.
Black,Red...Short,Long. Gothic,Grecian etc
I realised that individuals have different choices. Doesn't have to be a trend for some people,they just express themselves through their choice of a wedding gown.
Gosh I love DAT show
DeleteI love that show. I am definitely rocking a black reception dress
DeleteI would wear ivory or peach
ReplyDeleteThank God my browser is back to normal.
ReplyDeleteGod forbid I wear anything black on my wedding day

ReplyDeleteI've always liked being different so I wore a champagne/beige wedding dress for my wedding. Buying matching accessories like my veil, gloves etc was so difficult because every bridal shop(and I went to aaaalottt) I tried had white, that I had to order and a friend flew them in for me. But the stress was worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible didn't say we should wear white wedding dress. We borrowed the culture from the whites.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colours are white and black. For my wedding dress, it's white. As for my aso -ebi, it's going to be black. I don't care what anybody thinks.
Then my after-party dress will be black.
Paddy mi unto the black levels. I only recently started wearing bright colors cos the complaints were just too much
DeleteLol. Stick to your black jor.
DeleteMost of my polo's are black and a few white.
Then my gowns r black.
My mum is even tired of complaining.
Reminds me of my kid sister, she loved black so much, her wedding cake was black.
DeleteA black wedding dress seems interesting. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteWhite!!! I don't want mama trouble

DeleteI remember a lady wanting a black wedding dress... Her mum disagreed vehemently. She eventually got black ankara foe her closest friends asoebi. She died before her wedding day. The black was worn by her friends at her funeral. God forbid bad thing. Black denotes mourning.
ReplyDeleteWhite denotes Mourning too
DeleteShut up Triumphant Zion.
DeleteTory mistress.
Hian.
DeleteWhite is used also for mourning.
Ask igbo people.
I'm also igbo
As if this is a sign.I plan on wearing a green and silver gown for my wedding and I hope I am not breaking any biblical laws o.God knows I don't want to disobey him but that's what I wish to wear
ReplyDeleteI will rock red
ReplyDeleteI don't who started the white wedding dress, but am gonna rock my white dress
ReplyDeleteIt was not stated but we human being decided to make it white since white color represent purity, but a lot of people has really abused the use of white wedding gown. If I have my way to re-rock wedding dress I will also go for red wedding gown, I love red colors to the moon.
ReplyDeleteI rocked a peach colored dress, grecian design. What I've always wished for.
ReplyDeleteI have already readied my mum for any colour I choose to wear. When I told her recently that I'm definitely not wearing white, she started voicing her disapproval but stopped midway. She said I've always said I wasn't wearing white but she thought it was a phase that would pass. Black's my favourite color but as I'm neither Spanish nor Catholic, ain't wearing that. I'm leaning towards Blue or Burgundy. Me and my spirit never free which one yet lol. A purple gown that is free of frills could be cute too. Lemme ask Google.
ReplyDeletePlease o, white doesn't signify chaste or undefiled. As a color(neutral color), it signifies purity not cos of anything but because it abhors stains. What signifies being undefiled/chaste/virgin is the orange blossoms used in bouquets.
But most people don't know about the orange colour nau. Will add it to my bouquet then
DeleteThe white wedding gown still does it for me anyday.......all these other colours I don't gerrit....
ReplyDeleteI will be rocking an ankara gown for my wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhite or cream no way for black or red
