As we all know, white has always been the very traditional, obvious choice for a wedding gown pretty much since most of us ladies were little girls. We dreamt of meeting the man of our dreams and wearing that very special, white gown to walk down the altar in. However, since last Spring clothing designers have changed the rules up in a pretty colorful way. That's right, well-known designers such as Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, and Isaac Mizrahi (just to name a few!) have all been known to incorporate red, turquoise, grey, and of course BLUSH into their wedding gowns.
This trend has become very popular amongst many celebrities as well, who have all chosen the non-traditional route on their special day. For instance, singer/designer, Gwen Stefani chosen an ombre pink. Actresses, Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon, & Anne Hathaway also opted for a more colorful frock, but a more classic, pale pink version. While some go for a different variation of white (think more ivory or eggshell) such as the ever so popular Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City movie, others go for just a "pop" of color.
Some brides choose to add in color by just adding it through their veils, shoes, sashes, or hair accessories such as headbands, flowers, or jewels. Pops of color add a little life not only to the dress and bride in general (especially if you're a fashionista!), but they add an enormous amount to the wedding photographs. For instance, if you're not excited about splurging on an extravagant flower budget, pops of color can fill that void in a photograph with your groom and wedding party. Colors also are known to have a meaning behind them that brides like to incorporate into their big day. For instance, brides may choose eggshell not only because it fairs better against their skin tone, but because of the tainted innocence it represents. Those who gravitate toward a bolder color, such as red, tend to represent passion, romance, and strong emotion. Our pink ladies (shown above) are showing off a flirtacious innocence that also showcases their femininity. Greys & blacks symbolize a sophisticated elegance in which a bride shows off her power and sexuality.
No matter what color dress your heart desires, it's no secret that every bride looks gorgeous on her wedding day. It all is just a matter of taste & personality. We hope this inspires you to bring out a pop of color on your big day... know matter how you see fit!
