Apparently Anne wasn't even first; numerous ref's online to, I think, "Princess Philippa, daughter of Henry IV (Bolingbroke), 1406"
"She was married on 26 October 1406 to Eric of Pomerania [Scandinavia, Sweden] in Lund Cathedral. Philippa was actually the first documented princess in history to wear a white wedding dress during a royal wedding ceremony: she wore a tunic with a cloak in white silk bordered with grey squirrel and ermine)." chimene On May 9, 2011, at 10:43 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > My local newspaper ran an article about wedding traditions, > > http://www2.timesdispatch.com/lifestyles/celebrations/2011/may/04/tradition- > tales-ar-1015954/ Scroll down to "The White Wedding Dress." > > So who started the trend of the white wedding dress, Anne of Brittany or > Queen Victoria?
