white wedding
Bridal gown affair
A white wedding is a traditional Western marriage ceremony, so called because the bride wears a white dress—a custom popularized in the Victorian era to symbolize purity and virginity.
The term now broadly describes formal church weddings with conventional elements: the white gown, bridesmaids, flowers, and reception.
They wanted a big white wedding with all the trimmings.
The phrase sometimes carries connotations of expense or elaborate tradition.
