White reflects purity, innocence, and a virginity. By tradition a bride is to be wholesome, and during her first consummation with her newly wed husband, she loses her virginity. And typically it was reserved for the bride, so no attention was deviated from her.

A bride wears white on her wedding day as symbol of her virginity, purity or chastity. The reason for this custom is deeply rooted in religious groups, especially the Roman Catholic Church.

White was considered a sign of virginal purity, and many people still think that today. If you're invited to a wedding, but the invitation doesn't mention the dress code, just ask.
