In the Regency period, when Austen was writing, "wedding clothes" can mean more than just what one wears on the wedding day. A bride was expected to bring certain things with her when she married, including not only new clothes but also table linens, sheets, etc. This is also sometimes called a trousseau.

Also, brides rarely wore white before Queen Victoria made it popular by wearing white to her wedding (1840).
