Christians use a wedding canopy? Never knew. Not that I’ve ever been to a church wedding, but they have them in movies and tv shows.

And I’m positive that the white dress thing is from Queen Victoria; In ‘The Bostoner Rebbetzin Remembers’ Rebbetzin Horowitz wrote that white bridal gowns were considered un-Jewish in her day, so her wedding dress was a light pastel color. Fact check, anybody?
