There was no specific wedding attire in the middle ages. Men and women would simply wear their best set of clothing. Women's dresses were usually colorful rather than white, with blue, red, and gold being popular. A women would probably carry a sachet of potpourri or a bundle of herbs and flowers. Garlands, herbs, and pleasant smelling plants would have been used for decoration. The ceremony might be held at home, or at a church. If held at church it was commonly done at the door of the church, rather than at the alter.

What was the common wedding attire during the middle ages?
At their weddings, common medieval people wore their ordinary clothes. In the Middle Ages, marriage was considered primarily a private matter, between couples. While the Church had rules about it, these had more to do with such things as divorce and the sin of adultery than with the wedding. Marriage in those days did not have to happen in a church, did not require a priest, and did not even require witnesses. It did require vows, and the fact that a wedding had happened meant that the vows had happened. It was a verbal contract between two people, undertaken at a time when a person's worth was that person's word. A marriage could be registered with the local church, and while this was customary in some places, it was not required by the Church. There is a lot of misunderstanding about life in medieval Europe. Common people did not normally have arranged marriages except where local customs had family involvement in marriage. Common people did not marry young, but after the bride had put together her dowry and the groom had established an income. This usually happened when the couple was in their 20's. There is a link below to the European section of an article on marriage, which has more information.
