However, as accounts of Victoria's wedding, white bridal gowns finally provided an opportunity for the conspicuous consumption. At that time, the white wedding dresses represented that the bride's family was so wealthy and so firmly part of the leisure class. While, the color white was also the color girls were required to wear at the time when they were presented to the court.

Until the end of the 19th century, the white bridal dress was the garment of the choice for elite brides on both sides of the Atlantic. The funny part came in during the great depression after World War. Although some women would like to wear the cheap gowns, some still wore the white dress and even the short white informal bridal dress. But the middle-class British and American brides didn't accept the trend until after World War.

The white wedding style was given another significant boost in 1981, when 3/4 billion people watched the Prince of Wales whose name was Charles marrying Diana Spencer in her white taffeta dress with a 25-foot-long train. This wedding is considered to be the most influential white wedding of the 20th century.
