Wedding Dresses
A wedding dress is what a bride wears at her wedding ceremony, where she and her groom get married. In the US, it is customary for the bride's parents to buy her a new wedding dress. Wedding dresses are traditionally white and floor-length, with a train extending out behind the bride, dragging on the floor unless it is carried by the flower girls. There are several different styles of wedding dresses available. Each year fashion designers come out with new and more modern wedding dresses.
