Vera Wang's Fall 2012 Bridal Collection and the Question of "Traditional"

      Who says one has to do what society tells them? Who says a bride has to wear white? According to Kelsey McIntyre in her articles History of the White Wedding Dress, brides did not always wear white. Back before the mid 1800s brides wore wedding gowns of many color schemes. Wearing white became a popular style of choice after Queen Victoria married in white. Altho, brides continued to marry in many different colored gowns white became the symbol of purity and innocence. Now a days in present time with a changing society of many opinions and beliefs, what is the real meaning of being "traditional" ? Traditional is based on culture and values, in which everyone has different.
Vera Wang as always, took it to the next step with her Fall2012 Bridal collection. the question of "traditional" is greatly exposed through her line. Being present day, non traditional is the whole point.
