Tradition Behind the Train

The length of your wedding dress train is a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Back then, brides’ trains were a sign of her position in society. The longer the train, the more prominence she held with the ruling family. That’s why Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge sported a much longer train – as to be expected.

What train length do you prefer? Do you see yourself as a queen with a flowing train that lays elegantly down the aisle? Or do you like the idea of being a less traditional bride with a train that barely kisses the floor?
