No you don't!
1. White looks good on very few people. Have you noticed most brides have to wear fake orange tans just to look good in white?
2. The majority of brides wearing white are not virgins or even first time brides most do it because of new tradition in the middle of last century. Though be warned while it's ok now to see a pregnant bride in white you might have some ignorant people talk about you wearing colour but it is your day not theirs!
3. As a virgin myself I think the idea of having to advertise the state of my hymen or have people look at the dress colour I wear and actually talk and think about my hymen is soooo sick and vulgar. These people are so backwards and creepy beyond belief!
4. Make sure you try on pure white, soft white, ivory, and colour dresses and choose the one that flatters you most! Good luck! :)

You can wear what ever you want to wear. Traditionally the bride wears white, whether they are a virgin or not. But these days tradition is being thrown out the window for a more modern approach to the wedding ceremony. If you do not want to wear white then wear what you feel comfortable in. If anyone says anything about it, then just tell them that it is none of their business whether you are or are not a virgin and this is the color you like and wanted to wear it. It's your wedding. If you are lucky it only comes once in your life. Celebrate you new life the way you and your groom want to. Don't let people tell you what to do.

No, your wedding you pick what you want to wear. The white is a sign of purity but now days people think they need to wear white on their 1st wedding whether they're a virgin or not. You will get some old-fashioned people who will think it's wrong but then again you're not going to have everyone agree with the color you pick. You're not having a wedding to make everyone else happy, this day is for you and therefore, the choices should be what you (and your fiance) want!!!
Congrats!

No you don't, it's a traditional thing, but over the years its changed a lot. Women who aren't virgins often wear white, so why can't a virgin wear another color? do whatever makes you happy.

I don't think it is necessary to wear white just to advertise to the world that you are a virgin. That is no ones business but your own. This is a very special day for you and you should remember it as so. Where what you wish.

You can wear whatever color you want. I guess most people wear white becuase that is the tradition. When people don't wear white though, others might assume that you are not a virgin, but who cares about what they think? It's your wedding, wear whatever color you want. :)

NO! In Roman times, the virgin bride wore a gown in varying shades of red. Over the years, I've seen brides wearing black, blue, green, purple, teal, pink, yellow and many other colors. So just pick whatever looks good on you! Plus, pick a gown that looks good on you! A nice color on a bad-fitting gown won't do you any good - especially not in the wedding pictures!

No, not at all. It's become very popular and common for brides to wear other colors besides white and ivory. Many now are wearing reds and even black on their big day. The important thing is to look fabulous.

NO YOU DO NOT!!!!!! You can wear any color you Please!!!!And any Design that you please! This is "you day" and your future husbands too! The both of you should be able to do what pleases the both of you, not everyone else....the whole idea of wearing "white" came from an English Royality marriage, and the bride wore "white" and this kinda caught on and became a "tradition" But, before that, people wore whatever they pleased! Whatever they looked good in! nowdays, we follow someone elses "trends" woopie-crap! You wear what you like.....lol....lol....lolbet you will look good too!!!!
