Since marriage was considered a union between two families, it was essenâ€" tial that the bride be an "honor" to both her family and her future husband‘s famiâ€" ly. As purity was primary, great care was taken to present the bride as a sheltered and unspoiled "treasure". The white dress became the symbol of her innocence. The styling of the bridal gown as we know it can be attributed to Empress Eugenie, the bride of Napoleon III. As a leader of fashion, she wore what was to become a worldâ€"wide trendsetter as she wed the French leader, who ruled France from 1853 to 1871. Her flair for fashion is echoed every time a new bride walks down the aisle with the dignity befitting an empress. ‘N Jeddings are back with a new emphasis on elegance.
