Bride fetish
A bride fetish is a sexual fetish in which either a woman (or possibly a man) enjoys dressing in the typical outfit worn by a bride, or someone derives sexual pleasure from viewing women (or possibly men) dressed in this manner.
A bride may be regarded as the archetype of a virgin ready and waiting to have sexual intercourse. A bridal outfit can be considered to be full of fetishistic imagery. Brides often wear lingerie such as basques or corsets, stockings and thongs; they also wear stiletto shoes. Generally, a bridal dress and lingerie are white or nearly white, denoting purity. For a transvestite, bridal wear may be the ultimate female apparel.
Background
In Western culture, brides typically wear white wedding dresses, a tradition established by Queen Victoria[wp]. The white dress was once considered a symbol of purity, though present-day brides may wear white, cream, or ivory dresses, regardless of their number of marriages.
Traditional wedding ceremonies are usually attended by a party of bridesmaids[wp], typically young women of marriageable age[wp]. Often close friends or blood relatives, they traditionally "serve" the bride from the morning of the wedding[wp] through to conclusion of the festivities[wp].
