First of all, for those traditional brides this means respecting totally and strictly the traditions. In ancient times, as at that time started the bridesmaids’ presence to weddings, it was considered that the bride is hunted by angry spirits- a sort of test, a sort of “fight” for happiness. In order to protect her, some others unmarried girls were dressed alike, in purely white dresses, as the spirits to confuse them. In time such facts and beliefs have lost their meaning but the presence of the girls is still reserved. It is more about the pleasure and delightful view of some ladies dressed alike, like twins.

Apart from this, white is imposed as well for the bride to express the purity and chastity. Correlated to the “rule” of the bridesmaids to be unmarried the same theory applies here too. Consequently, respecting the traditions will lead you to choosing white for the bridesmaid dresses.
But on the other side, if white is what the bride chooses as no other alternative existing, the bridesmaids to be dressed alike means excluding the bride’s importance. It is like selfish or not, only she should wear the white dress in that day. The bride’s unique posture in this way makes the things be considered so.
Plus, by choosing the white bridesmaid dresses you give a dull image, an overall appearance of the bridesmaids and the along the bride. How’s the bride after all here? You need some colors, different nuances. The contrast created with the bride in white and her maids of honors in colored dresses puts more value on both parts.

As a conclusion, there are so controversial opinions for each and every part of the situation. Of course that what counts more are the bride’s preferences in this way, but with the biggest and deepest honesty in the world, you are a bride and above everyone at the wedding. The white dress is and should be the only one white at the wedding, out of respect for your posture.
