Colored Wedding Gowns

14 November 2008 11 Comments

Color plays a very important role in buying a wedding gown for any bride. In the western culture, popularity of white wedding gown is such that very few brides think of walking down the aisle in any other color. Even though the color white needs a lot of maintenance, the overall demand for white wedding gowns still surpasses that of other colored wedding gowns.

Today, wearing colored wedding gowns is becoming a trend already. It is not only socially acceptable to incorporate color into your gown design, but quite often it allows the bride to create a unique wedding suited to her personal style.

Color options such as black, blue, earth tones or pink are now available to the savvy shopper. Even red wedding gowns are growing in popularity especially in Western culture. While these selections you’re likely to find through bridal salons and even many designers , is still somewhat limited, expect to see more options in the future.

Just a little reminder, you don’t need to shock everyone to incorporate a little color into your wedding gown. A colored sash or bow or colored edging can still add color while keeping the “traditional” feel of the wedding dress. Don’t be afraid to go for bolder colors, if you’re so inclined.

    It was actually popularized by Queen Victoria in 1840s when she used a white gown just to be able to incoporate her laze.

    If I remember correctly, the white gown for wedding traditions started back in the Victorian period when Queen Victoria wore white for her wedding.

    Color does add to the festivities though (and it is different from everyone else).

    Some brides I have talked to say they wore white on their wedding day because white stands for purity.
