I think Mary Tudor and Martha Washington wore white.

My local newspaper ran an article about wedding traditions, 

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/lifestyles/celebrations/2011/may/04/tradition-
tales-ar-1015954/  Scroll down to The White Wedding Dress.

So who started the trend of the white wedding dress, Anne of Brittany or
Queen Victoria?  The year 1499 is out of my league of knowledge.  I know all
about Victoria's wedding dress trend.

I know George  Martha's niece didn't wear white.  I worked with her wedding
dress for exhibit at the Valentine Museum.
