The answer

The basic principle regarding clothing is permissibility, unless it involves something forbidden. The wedding dress is no longer exclusive to non-Muslims; rather, it has spread in Muslim lands and become part of their customs. Therefore, it is not forbidden on the basis of unlawful imitation if it is not a specific emblem of the disbelievers.

Wearing it becomes forbidden if it is accompanied by extravagance and waste, or if it lacks modesty and concealment, or if the woman appears in it before non-mahram men. However, if it is free from these prohibitions, then it is permissible to wear it, as well as the veil ( طرحة) and gloves.
