After a brief history on bridal traditions (i.e. you probably don't know why we're actually wearing white to our weddings) thanks to JSTOR Daily's Summer Brennan, Rachel Malak picks Allie's brain on all the assumptions we have about weddings, and follows up with a Queen Victoria trendsetter moment. Then, the ladies chat about their respective mother's (very similar) wedding gowns before transitioning into the Vera Wang section of today's episode.
