Sometimes it doesn't even have to be worn at a wedding. It can show up in a bridal [[Fashion Show]], or be one of several dresses a character tries on for her wedding (often a dress that she turns down due to either cost or it genuinely not being the kind of dress she wants).
When it is a wedding, this tends to be worn by younger women. Older women are usually seen as [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|not being so naive]] about how wedding should go (even if they aren't [[Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids|above romance]]).
