Best Answer

In the early 1600's, the settlers at Jamestown were almost all men. To make the settlement permanent, they needed women to marry and have children to colonize the new land. Women were recruited to travel to Virginia to be brides for the settlers - and the settlers who wanted women had to pay the company in tobacco (reimbursement for the voyage across the ocean).

What is the collective noun for brides?

There is no specific collective noun for brides, most likely because brides seldom form groups. However, if you need a collective noun for a rare grouping of brides, choose a noun suitable for the context. I have seen suggestions for a bouquet of brides (charming), a giggle of brides (borrowed from a gaggle of geese), or a babble of brides (lots of arrangements to discuss when you group prospective brides).
