The amount of material a wedding dress contains is a reflection of the bride's social standing. The amount of material used in the dress and the length of the dresses' train usually indicates the extent of the wealth of the bride's family to wedding guests.

Mostly from tradition, like so many elements of the wedding process. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that the train dates back to around the 1400s.
