The ultimate mark of a Jewish bride is the veil. It comes from the story in The Bible of Jacob, Rachel and Leah. The kalla (bride) wears a veil and the chatan (groom) picks up the veil and checks to make sure she is the right bride and then covers her back up again before she is lead down to the chuppah for the actual ceremony.

Like everywhere else in Judaism, modesty is important. Traditional Jewish brides will wear modest gowns with sleeves and long skirts.

It depends on the Branch of Judaism she practices:

1. Orthodox: 100% Modesty - Orthodox Jews only wear dresses that completely cover them up.

2. Conservative: Semi-Modest - Conservative Jews can wear short sleeves or sleeveless dresses - NO "plunging" backs and necklines.

3. Reform: Optional - Reform Jews can wear halter and even strapless dresses with or without optional jackets to cover their arms.

For orthodox weddings the groom may wear what is called a "kittel" which is a white linen robe. But most men wear whatever is the custom of the area they live in, whether that is a tuxedos, suit, or even some informal clothing.
