Marriage photos do not necessarily require wearing a white shirt. The "Marriage Registration Service Standard System" requires a "color photo of both parties with a red background, measuring 53mm * 35mm (width * height)" for wedding photos. It only specifies the size, background color, and recent photos of both parties, and does not mandate the wearing of a white shirt.
Why do everyone wear white shirts when taking wedding photos?
But most people wear white shirts for their wedding photos, mainly because of two reasons: one is that the combination of white and the red background color of the photo looks better, and white can act as a light plate, making the photo appear softer and fairer in skin tone; Another reason is that the shirt looks more formal. Getting married is a very solemn thing, so it is natural to DRESS more formally.
