Queen Elizabeth, seems to have had much influence on the modern bride or better said woman. One of these was her ability to oppose all and their notions of marrying for advantage. As the pressure intensified she soon sent the following response: " Yea, to satisfie you, I have already joyned myself in marriage to an Husband, namely, the Kingdom of England...And to me it shall be a Full satisfaction, both for the memorial of my Name, and for my Glory also, if when I shall let my last breath, it be ingraven upon my Marble Tomb, "Here lieth Elizabeth, which Reigned a Virgin, and died a Virgin."
Now to find a women, let alone a royal who is willing to stand by what she believes in so much that she defies all that is expected of her, is something which a lot of women may seem drawn to and inclined to do in their own lives.

Another queen to make a statement and have an influence on the bride/ woman, was Queen Victoria, the Queen to have had infleunce on so many things in her life time. She was the first bride to impact history and women by making the choice to wear a white wedding dress, which unlike today, the "in colour", for a wedding, and found it to be quite susprising that the colour of that period in time to wed in was red. Yes red. While white was the colour royals used to symbolise mourning. The first Queen to actually wear a white wedding dress was Mary Queen of Scots, who was instead of having a positive influence, instaed was subject to much gossip and disapproval. She was later to be accused of having cursed her husband by wearing white, when he died two years after they had been married.
One of the other major colours which were worn before the introduction of white, was blue, thus the saying "something blue."The reasoning for the use of the colours, was yet another women, the Virgin Mary, and was thus connected with purity. Depending on the situation and marital status before marriage one could even wear black if either she or the groom had lost their previous spouses to death.
These are but just a brief overview of the women to have had infleunced the modern woman and bride.
