Preferred term

bridal industry  

Definition

  • The bridal industry is economically and culturally powerful, as it is a wide-ranging, multibillion-dollar-a-year industry that supports one of the most salient rites of passage. In so doing, it is connected with gendered divisions of labor and gendered family arrangements, while it also serves to sustain cultural ideas supporting these phenomena.
