Adult members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who have participated in a special Temple ceremony are obligated to wear a special undergarment called the Temple Garment. The garment is worn for several reasons:
*The garment is symbolic of the covenants and promises they made with God as a part of the ceremony, and is a constant reminder of these covenants and promises.
*As Mormons have an all lay clergy, the garment serves as a sort of priestly clothing, much like priests and pastors in other Christian faiths will wear a special robe or collar to symbolize their authority.
*Mormons believe that the garment is sacred and will serve as a protection against evil to body and spirit.
*The garment enforces conservative modesty standards.
*The garment is believed to be the literal modern interpretation of the white garments placed on Aaron and his sons as they were annointed in the tabernacle of the Old Testament.
The garment is white, to symbolize purity (except in the case of combat military personel, who may special order the garment in colors to fit military standards). It is produced by the Church and comes in many fabric types and styles, but essentially is like wearing boxer shorts and a t-shirt under your regular clothes. As Mormons believe that it is sacred, they can become very offended when it is mocked or spoken of without reverence and respect.

Does a wedding dress have to be white?
No, not at all. While I wouldn't recommend a dark or bold color, it has become quite common for wedding dresses to be colors other than white. Some popular colors are off white, pale pink, champangne, a pale, soft, buttery yellow (called "candlelight"), and other soft colors.Another option is to have the dress in the (soft) color of your choice, then have a white lace overlay over the colored fabric. You could choose the dress color based on the colors of your wedding/reception, bridal attendants dress color, and the wedding cake, which would bring all the colors together beautifully.It's a misconception that the color white for a wedding dress is a symbol of purity (virginity). It's actually the blush of the veil (the part that covers the face) that symbolizes purity and innocence.
