Brides and grooms won't go to church and won't dress wedding dresses
It's a fashion to hold the wedding in a church after 16th century. Luther who is a religion reformer insist on it's a common business in the world. He thinks that there is no relationship between wedding and church. But Catholicism begins reiterate the power of hold the wedding for the believers to face the strike of Protestantism.
The impact of the Catholic Church on marriage began in the mid-16th century when Trento held religious meetings. Conference refuted the Protestant reform advocate, announced that all Protestants as heretics, and believed that since the Middle Ages the ritual of Catholic doctrine is correct, cannot be amended and supplemented. Conference adhere seven sacraments (sacraments), namely Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, confession, extreme unction, Kamijina and marriage. Most of these sacraments from apostolic times it was used, but until then the sacrament of marriage was formally recognized.
Thereafter, a valid wedding ceremony is required to hold at the local priest and two witnesses, but there is still not have dedicated clothing, apparel for wedding. Church supports the imperial relevant provisions of clothing and believe that extravagant will be curse, and also which is sinful wearing a dress one day.
Throughout the Middle Ages, there is no particular style and color for wedding. Color and cut is ok as long as you can meet the general fashion. You can see that one rich cloth merchant groom wore a brown cloak with fur trim and the bride wore a green dress with fur trim in the famous painted "Giovanni ? Arno Finney couple like" which is painted in 1420 by Jan ? Van Eck.
Until 1600 or so, even very wealthy bride won't prepare her wedding dress. In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Juliet's parents forced her to marry the young nobleman Paris and decided to hold the wedding on Thursday. This requires fanfare, Juliet's father asked, "employ twenty capable cook," but even in the night before the wedding, Juliet was said: "nurse, you accompany me to my room to help me indecent clothing and accessories, see which of these pieces can be worn tomorrow." Juliet and her nurse looked the suitcase simply, and then select a dress, then finished. Female count Juliet does not wear a new dress at the wedding, which at that time was commonplace.
Brides like Juliet at that time all wear best clothes in her suitcase, and color of the dress will have to comply with the prevailing fashion.
Only nobility was allowed to wear a red jacket at Medieval, this jacket cut like a robe, has a bell-shaped folds and wide sleeves, known as Shao silk which is a typical medieval costume. If anyone dares to wear incompatible with their status in red dress, it will be punishable by death.

But the uprising failed, the red coat still loses the change to wear by them. But this time there was a small city strata, they becomes even richer than the aristocracy by business, they used the power of money to win the power of wear clothing, these so-called nobles wore red clothing which is the representatives of the powerful nobles.
Renaissance, red is the most beautiful clothes colors, and all ages, in the Dominican ? Ghirlandaio's impressive portraits, grandfather, an old aristocracy wearing and his grandson wear dresses in the same red color. By the 18th century, the nobility only retained symbolic privilege of wearing a red dress, 1701 ? Hyacinthe Rigaud's painting the famous portrait of Louis XIV proved this point, wearing a symbol of the Bourbon King Louis XIV royal blue, white, gold tri-color costumes. Under the blue coronation cloak, Louis XIV wearing a white silk, short pants with white stockings. Wearing white stockings, silk shoes are also white. King's garment has only one piece of red, it is his heel. At that time only nobility's heels are in red.
Because red is the most noble color, the man who can wear red, he must wear red at the wedding. Until the 18th century, the city of Nuremberg aristocratic weddings, the bride is also wearing a red jacket, the groom wearing red pants.
By the 19th century, the German discover aniline dyes, the first to suffer exclusion of synthetic dyes natural is red madder. Red clothes become the clothes everyone can afford to buy.
