To Select Colorful Wedding Dress,Not Just White Or Ivory
Varying shades of white are no longer the only option for a wedding dress. Contemporary wedding designers are constantly reinventing tradition with dazzling hues and bright accessories. Historically, white became the customary shade for a wedding dress around 1840 when Queen Victoria chose the color for her wedding to her cousin. A traditional piece of doggerel poem furthered the cause for white with the opening lines "Married in white, you have chosen all right."
Modern Brides with Options
Today it is not only socially acceptable to incorporate color into wedding dress design, but quite often it allows the bride to create a unique wedding suited to her personal style.
In Western culture, red wedding dresses are growing in popularity. While some brides opt for red accents, others are selecting entirely scarlet hued wedding dresses for a bolder statement. Websites like Red Hot Brides feature wedding dresses in fierce red, and bright burgundy as well as showcase pictures from weddings created around a bride wearing color.
Blue wedding dresses a gaining popularity, but they certainly aren’t a new concept. A centuries-old belief suggests that brides who marry in blue will enjoy lifelong devotion and fidelity. This is actually where the tradition of carrying "something borrowed, something blue" to the altar comes from.
Other color options such as black, yellow, earth tones or pink are also available to the savvy shopper. While these are still appearing in small numbers every year on the bridal runways, expect to see more options in the future. Look for multi-colored designs which feature delicate embroidery in pastel colors, or shocking jewel tones for a sexy embellishment on a classic design.
Find the Idea of Color Intimidating?
If you’re intrigued by the idea of adding a burst of color to your gown on your special day, but are intimidated by the idea of going against family tradition, consider accessories.
A white or candlelight wedding dress can provide the perfect backdrop for elaborate jewelry in shocking hues, or colored extras like elbow length gloves or a delicate shoulder wrap. Adding a veil in a shade to compliment your bouquet may be just enough color to be unique without disappointing your darling grandmother who has her heart set on a pristine white design.
Be creative and most of all, choose what will make you feel beautiful. Remember when selecting any wedding designs that the photos will last an eternity, and you want to be certain your look will radiate timeless taste regardless of the decade or current fads.
