As I understand it, a white dress was a luxury not affordable to all in the 19th century and before. The poem seems to show that a variety of colors were worn then.
As for the current symbolism of white, that color is the choice of brides who have never been married. That is according to Miss Manners' Guide to Excruiciatingly Correct Behavior by Judith Martin. She further mentions that the color isn't a commentary on the body of the person wearing it.
I never would have guessed you had such an interest in wedding gowns.
