Add Some Color To Your Wedding Day Attire
These days, brides are looking for ways to personalize their wedding attire. A great way to put your own unique stamp on the day is to add a splash of color to your wedding gown, bridal jewelry, flowers, or wedding accessories. Find out about these gorgeous ways to make your wedding outfit more colorful and unique.
You can make a big splash with a lot of color, or a subtle statement with a few small accents. You only have to look at the recent collection of blush wedding gowns by designers like Monique Lhuillier to know that colorful bridal gowns are a big trend. If you want to look like the height of style when you walk down the aisle, wear a wedding dress that is pink, blush, ice blue, lettuce green, lavender, or even gray. You will love that these dresses are very clearly wedding gowns, even though they are not done in bridal white. No one will ever mistake you for a bridesmaid. People are getting used to the idea of a bride in a pretty soft color, thanks to all of the celebrity brides who have worn something other than white. The bolder color choices like red or black will tend to raise some eyebrows, which is fine if that is what you want.
You can wear a classic white or ivory dress, while still adding hints of color to your look in other ways. One of the simplest options is to choose a special embellishment to add to your wedding dress. A chic belt in blue, pink, black, or brown looks great on wedding gowns, especially if it has a pretty jeweled detail on it. A very chic idea would be to pin a brown and black feather flower to your dress. Blush tulle flowers could be added to the skirt of a bridal gown to emphasize pick up details. Another idea is to pin a special colorful family heirloom pin to the waist of your bridal gown. All of these are lovely ways to add a touch of color to your outfit without making a large committment to color.
Brides who are not comfortable with color on their gowns often choose to wear colorful accessories instead. Order a set of custom bridal jewelry in your signature wedding color instead of the basic white pearls. Colorful wedding jewelry is one of the easiest ways to give a white gown an original personality. Your headpiece is another place to brighten things up with a colorful accessory. A bright orange dahlia would make a terrific hair ornament for a rustic autumn wedding. If you enjoy fashion forward accessories, consider a unique colorful fascinator to perch on your head instead of a veil. Or wear a pale blue satin ribbon with a jeweled pin as your headpiece for a sweet effect. A veil in a soft pastel like blush would be a lovely idea. A great way to incorporate a pop of color into your wedding attire is with a fabulous pair of shoes!
Color does not have to be part of your attire; it can also be something that you hold. The easiest way of all to make your wedding day look more colorful is to carry a bouquet of colorful blossoms. A bouquet in your favorite color will quickly make your whole look unique, and it will also help your flowers stand out from your gown in the wedding photos. With so many ways to bring color into your bridal ensemble, there is sure to be one that is perfect for you.
