When most people think of bridal dresses, they might think of the different design elements, such as if it has pearls, or lace, whether it is strapless or with capped sleeves, if it’s sleek and modern or full and ruffled. What people don’t usually consider is the colour of the dress, which is almost always just a virginal white. However, this is changing as more and more brides are taking an untraditional stance on their wedding dress and choosing colours outside of the white, ivory and cream tones.

White became the traditional colour for wedding dresses because it represents purity and joy. So for some women, picking a colour is more meaningful to them and represents something they value in life, like wearing the same colour as on their first date. Wearing a colourful wedding dress is a way to make the experience more personal, and to do something different - something that is a break from the typical. For some women, it is too much to have an entirely new colour, so having colour accents - such as a red sash or blue flowers - is a subtler way to add a little flair to a traditional white gown.

Today, popular colours for wedding dresses range from the subtle (silver, pink, pearl) to bold (crimson, leaf green and smoke-grey pink), which is found throughout in the Christian Lacroix wedding collection. Other designers who are using colour in their collections include Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang and Josechu Santana. When picking out a colour, it is important to take several things into consideration, such as the bride’s skin tone and hair colour, the time and place of the wedding and most importantly, the bride must look and feel her absolute most gorgeous self.
