It can overlap with EtherealWhiteDress if the white dress she wears all the time is her wedding dress (often when widowed). May also be worn by a WightInAWeddingDress.

WightInAWeddingDress. It goes hand in hand with WhiteIsPure because of white's association with purity and holiness.

* There's also a line of Franchise/SailorMoon themed wedding dresses, http://www.mariarosa.co.jp/sailormoon/collection.html seen here]]. Included in the collection is Usagi's wedding gown from the end of the manga, Princess Serenity's gown and more traditonal wedding gown that has optional pieces that make it into a ballgown version of Sailor Moon's first Sailor Fuku. (The collection also has Mamoru's wedding tuxedo, and Tuxedo Mask's suit, to match the bride.)

* In ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive'', Alia and Layer get variants for the Bride of June event wearing wedding dresses. Alia's dress is styled so the bustier is made out of white and light blue flowers (also present on her choker and the ribbon holding the veil), while Layer's has rose decorations and a [[RedStringOfFate red ribbon]] around her waist.

A fancy wedding dress with an old-fashioned style of skirt, usually full length and bell-shaped, and plenty of trimmings such as pearls, flowers, lace, GiantPoofySleeves, a GiantWaistRibbon, a long train, a large veil, etc. After all, what's a wedding without some CostumePorn? And since Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible, even a SimpleYetOpulent dress can work.

* ''Series/{{Haven}}'': In "Enter Sandman," a DreamWeaver becomes obsessed with Audrey, putting her into an eternal sleep and inducing a DreamSequence in which she (and he) are preparing for their wedding day. In his fantasy, Audrey is hopelessly in love with him and wearing a gown with a chiffon bustle twice as wide as she is, elbow-length white gloves, and a tiara. Audrey's friends race to save her before she marries him in the dream, accepting the reality and essentially dying.

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': Bella wears one in ''Breaking Dawn'' when she marries Edward. In [[TheFilmOfTheBook the film adaptation]], she gets to wear ''two'' (one of them is worn in a dream sequence). Her official wedding dress is form-fitting yet flares out at the bottom to create a long train; in the movie the back of the dress also has a translucent section edged with lace. She also wears a floor-length veil. Alice says it's early 1900s vintage but with some modern updates. The dress Bella wears in the dream sequence is a strapless ballgown-type dress with a skirt layered in floaty fabrics and lots of embroidery, though in this case it goes from fairytale to nightmare, with [[BloodSplatteredWeddingDress the dress getting covered in blood]].

* ''Literature/ASongIceAndFire'': In ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'', Sansa Stark gets the fairytale wedding dress she's always dreamed of, but certainly not the fairytale wedding and groom. The poor girl doesn't even realize she's being dressed for her own wedding at first, although to the reader it's obvious from the description: it's a long, full-skirted ivory and silver gown, with a bodice decorated in "ornate Myrish lace" (Myrish lace is highly prized and expensive in the setting). Sansa notes that it's a gown designed more for a woman than a young girl, although Sansa herself is only 13 years old.

* ''Series/TheUntamed'': Jiang Yanli wears a traditional-looking Chinese gown for her wedding to Jin Zixuan; it's a gorgeous red dress with a sheer gold robe, sleeves almost as long as she is tall and a gold headdress. She even secretly goes to see Wei Wuxian prior to her wedding to show him how she looks in her dress, as he's unable to attend the ceremony. He gets choked up by how beautiful she looks.

** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel'': Appropriately for a fairytale retelling, Rapunzel wears one for her wedding, which is a simple yet elegant white gown with a full skirt (it's more or less a palette-swap of her usual outfits and surprisingly less pimped-out than her ballgown). She doesn't wear a veil, though she makes up for that by [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange growing her hair impressively long again]], and wearing it loosely braided and woven with white flowers.
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePauper'': Princess Anneliese and Erika have a double wedding and both wear one these dresses. While both gowns are white with gossamer overskirts, long veils, and frills along the collars and sleeves, they're not direct copies of each other, with each dress being tailored to the bride's personality. Anneliese's skirt is fuller, the dress has more embroidery and it has pink accents. Erika's dress is simpler and more form-fitting with blue accents. Both are fit for a princess (or queen, in Erika's case, seeing as she marries a king).
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'': Princess Genevieve's wedding dress is a more elaborate version of her usual outfit, colored white instead of pink and with a longer, frillier overskirt. She also wears a veil with a tiara.
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'':
*** Princess Luciana wears a full-skirted white dress with gold accents for her wedding to Prince Antonio, although the wedding doesn't actually go ahead.
*** When Ro gets to marry her prince [[spoiler:(and has been revealed to be [[ReallyRoyaltyReveal a princess by birth]])]] she wears a full white gown with big puffy sleeves, a yellow floral underskirt, pearl beading around the neckline, and a veil paired with a tiara.
** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAFairySecret'': Fairy princess Graciella's wedding dress is more modern-looking than some other examples, but still has a fairytale-esque look, with a wide, layered skirt and pink flowers embroidered across the bodice.

Sometimes it doesn't even have to be worn at a wedding. It can show up in a bridal FashionShow, 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). Or, more subversively, a DragQueen may appear in a wedding dress as part of a performance--often to poke fun at old-fashioned ideas that a bride has to be modest or virginal ([[GayAesop or female]]) to make a good spouse.
