Psychology
A wedding stands for a turning point, two things formally joined. It can also show different sides of you coming together. If it was your own wedding, it may carry resolve or doubt about a new role; if you were a guest, a mix of fear of being left behind and a wish to celebrate.
Folklore and history
Dreaming of your own wedding is sometimes read in reverse as stalled romance, while another's wedding brings good news. Shinto-style weddings spread after the Crown Prince, later Emperor Taisho, married before the gods at the palace in 1900; before that, home ceremonies were common. Parts of Yamagata keep a custom of offering painted votive tablets of imagined weddings for those who died unmarried.

This site's view
In this site's view, a wedding with a faceless partner points less to love than to being joined with new work or a role. An empty hall or a bride with no guests holds both the wish to be joined and the fear it will never happen. Like those who painted weddings for the dead, people long to give form even to unions that never came.
Going deeper: our reading
The white of the traditional Japanese bridal kimono, shiromuku, is sometimes explained as the bride being ready to take on the colors of her new family. Today many brides choose dresses or colorful kimono that express themselves, and weddings have shifted from entering a household to two people beginning together. In this site's reading, the clothing in a wedding dream reflects your stance toward a new environment. Pure white suggests you are willing to blend into a new place. Ill-fitting or unfinished clothes may show a gap between your expected role and true self. Arriving late or never reaching the venue suggests your heart has not caught up with a life milestone. Someone objecting mid-ceremony may mean others' opinions are shaking you. This is our speculation, but the person you remember most may be the one whose approval you crave.
