Throughout all of my research and meeting with a wedding planner, I have seen the stress and hard work planners go through to make their client&#x2019;s dream wedding come true; Therefore, wedding planners have to come up with innovative ideas while sticking to their client&#x2019;s budget.\n
I have always been interested in planning events and doing things that are creative. In the future, I may pursue wedding planning as my career. I also want my wedding to be near perfect so if I learn how to plan weddings, I can plan one for myself and I won&#x2019;t have to hire a planner.\n

The tradition of a white wedding is credited to Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria chose to wear white when marrying Prince Albert. She was not the first royal bride to wear white but the first of the modern era. White was usually the traditional color of royal mourning. Previously brides would wear the best of the most expensive new clothes they could afford. Later, United Kingdom brides bought a special dress that could be worn another time as an evening gown or for other special occasions. The same case occurred to American brides as well. Brides started to wear a traditional white wedding dresses in the mid-twentieth century in the United Kingdom, which carried this tradition into the United States.\n

This is a picture of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert when they got married. As you can see, the white traditional dress was worn by Victoria and she had a long flowing vail. Prince Albert wore his best clothes that he had in his closet because back in the day they didn&#x2019;t have the options of what to wear like today.\n

On the left is a customized satin dress with lace, beading and tulle. It was made to come in ivory/white and it is only 145 dollars. On the right is a dress made by Allure Bridal Company. It comes in white/ivory, has soft flowers embellished with lace appliqu&#xE9;s and a ruch&#xE9;d taffeta band to define the waist. This dress is a lot more expensive than the one on the left because it is made by a popular designer. The tradition of white wedding dresses carries on to this day, just a lot more expensive and fancier.\n

Formal weddings were desired by mothers of the brides after World War I. This was the case for mothers who did not have a permanent social secretary. A wedding planner would then be hired who then could coordinate the printer, florist, caterer, and seamstress.\n

In every wedding there is a traditional order when the bridal parties come out for the ceremony. First the ushers and/or groomsmen escort the grandparents of the bride and groom to their seats. Then they escort the mother of the groom and mother of the bride to their seats. And lastly the bridesmaids enter escorted by the groomsmen.\n
