eli5 Why is it tradition for only the bride to wear white during a wedding?

The tradition for the bride to wear white is simply because Queen Victoria wore white to her wedding, and it became the standard. Some people made up some bullshit about how it symbolizes the bride's purity. 

Since it became standard, it has become common courtesy for wedding guests not to wear white, so they won't steal the bride's spotlight.
