Hmmm...I want a wedding on the beach, or in a field. My bridesmaids will be walking dogs down the aisle, and I want a green wedding dress. xd Ok so maybe my mom has banned me from having a green dress, but the rest could happen. 3nodding

Why would your mom care if your wedding dress was green? I know there's something about..white representing purity and all that, and like..I'm not sure...when my dad and stepmom got married she wore a yellow wedding dress. It wasn't her first wedding so maybe that was why?
About.com had this: "From Godey's Lady's Book, 1949, "Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material. It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one."
XD I think I'm fresh out of "purity and innocence of girlhood" and my heart is far from unsullied. X3
Also it lists the preferred dress colors for different countries.
"Morocco: Bright yellow, because it scares away the evil eye; or green, because it is the color of plants and brings good luck."
I also saw this on Chinatownconnection.com: "Buying a Wedding Dress - Color The color white, traditional for wedding dresses, was originally used to signify the bride's virginity to the gathered witnesses. This virginity was likewise attested to by the hanging of a blood-soaked sheet the next morning. Though the custom of the bridal sheet has died, the customary bridal color still seems to be alive and well for the most part. Widows or divorcees might choose an ivory color to keep from claiming the white, but if tradition prevails, brides stick with what is expected in this sense."
It goes on to say that of course you don't have to have a white dress. And I'm not going to lie to myself or anyone else on my wedding day XD...no white dress for me. Besides, some other color would be prettier.
