Colorful Wedding Dresses: Tips for Incorporating Color
Weddings are all about personalization and getting what you want. From the types of flowers to the cuisine that will be served at the reception, your special day should be customized to your personal taste. And that goes for the dress as well. Stark white used to be the only option for a while when it came to bridal dresses. But not anymore! Now you can have the entire color spectrum, every color of the rainbow to choose from, which is good news for brides everywhere.
There are many benefits to being able to choose from a wide array of colors. First, there is the benefit of finding the perfect color that complements your skin tone and hair color. Many brides look washed out in bright white, but glow in a softer hue. Another benefit lies in the coordination possibilities. Finally, color will make you stand out from the pack. After all, how many other brides you know will be wearing a shade other than white? If you are looking to make a trend-setting statement, color is the way to go.
But you do not have to go bold to add color to your bridal dress. Some of the hottest looks in bridal fashion these days incorporate various interpretations on the white theme. This is perfect if you love the idea of color, but still want to live your dream of walking down the aisle dressed in white. Color tones like champagne, egg shell, ivory and antique white all offer a subtle and sophisticated look that lend themselves perfectly to brides seeking a balance between traditional and modern.
Many retailers feature several of their top gowns in various color options, ranging from classic white to ivory and other colors. A beautiful and elegant strapless gown may be available in white, ivory or a host of other breathtaking shades and embellishments. A delicate empire band laden with handmade silk and satin flowers looks especially stunning in the rich ivory tone.
In the same subtle style, you can experiment by considering some of the touches of light color available. Light shades of pink, purple, yellow and green provide just the faintest hint of color to dresses, giving them a visual interest not commonly found in bridal designs. These color touches can add a classic antiqued look to your dress and a romantic air. Look also for classic bridal gowns with a touch of metallic in white satin or silk. This is an easy way to incorporate an eye-catching touch into the dress. A strapless ball gown dress that boasts a dramatic display of embellishments and a dramatic sweetheart neckline will turn heads without a doubt. Look for intricate beadwork handmade bows and other small but significant details.
For those that are looking to satisfy their adventurous side, there are also bold colors and styles to choose. Many top wedding dress retailers make the process of choosing a colorful gown effortless by offering a wide range of color choices in many gowns. Some dresses may be available in nearly 30 color options, ranging from jewel tones to opulent shades such as silver and gold. Some dresses incorporate a splash of white into the colorful design, so that you get the best of both worlds: a traditional and colorful dress. These dresses are perfect for adding a seasonal theme into your wedding. Think how elegant a rich red and white dress would be for winter. Or how alluring a yellow or purple dress would look set in an outdoor summer wedding.
As you can see the possibilities are limitless. Also, keep an eye out for custom color options, so you can get the design of your choice in the color you desire. With these possibilities there is never any need to compromise.
Deciding on color might not be the first thing you think of when looking for a bridal gown, however more and more colorful hues are being added to the wedding dress palette and brides are being offered more variety. Maybe a bold colored dress is not for you, but to make the most out of your nuptial fashion, it is best to consider the many ways to incorporate color into your dress. Try on many dresses to find what colors work best for you. This way whatever you choose you are sure to look your best!
