When it comes to wedding dresses, many women follow the tradition of buying a white gown. But let s face it, white gowns can be boring, and most brides-to-be look at dresses with intricate detailing, accents and gorgeous lace for extra pizzazz. But there s another way you can make your dress pop by incorporating color.
While more conventional brides may find it a bit too avant-garde to add color to something as elegant, pristine and traditional as a wedding dress, it s actually an increasingly common trend. Adding color can be as simple as add a thin ribbon around the waist or colorful flowers in your hair that matches the heirloom broach your mom passed down to you.
To successfully integrate color into your outfit, you must remember not to go overboard. Want to add Victorian Lilac to your color scheme Then think of adding a nice, flowing chiffon ribbon flowing down the back of your A-line wedding dress and that s it. Your dress will be a fashion disaster if you pile on the color.
There is a lot of fun you can have when incorporating colors. Like the example above, think of accents you can add to your dress. Are you wearing Galina s stunning and ethereal white chiffon gown, with the chic one-shoulder floral detail, and want to add a little punch Think about purchasing solid color beads that match the décor of your wedding and sew into the flowers.
Don t want to alter the dress permanently Purchase a separate floor-length chiffon slip in a contrasting color (since the delicate garb is very mythical, think of soft pastel colors, like lavender, baby blue or soft yellow). When you walk down the aisle, the slip with show through underneath, adding a hint of beauty.
But what if you re wearing a satin A-line chapel train gown in ivory with beaded detailing and neckline bow Then think about adding a complementary satin sash around the waist. Since the dress is a light, solid color and has subtle detailing, going with a rich color, like navy blue or deep burgundy, would make the garment really pop and break up the shape without being unflattering to your figure.
You can add a short sash that just goes around your waist, or a long one that ties in the back and flows down the length of your train. And sashes don t only have to be added to the waist. You can purchase a separate, solid color sash and tie it around your neckline. If you go this route, it s recommended you buy a long sash that flows down the length of your dress in the back for optimum beauty. One thing to remember, though, sashes work best with strapless gowns. Adding a color sash to a short sleeve or cap sleeve outfit, or dress with coordinating mini jacket would be too much, dividing the eye between details.
Another way of incorporating color is through piping, whether it is on the dress or on your veil. For example, if you are going to wear that striking soft white strapless organza A-line gown, personalize it with a color trim around the neckline, cascading apron back and bow (coordinate your veil to have matching color piping to your trim).
Since adding color to your trim will add drama to your piece, stay away from tones that contrast too much from the white (like black, deeper colors, like dark reds, purples, blues or vibrant colors, like bright yellows, greens or pinks), as it will make the dress look tawdry. To add slight drama to your gown, look towards lighter browns or flesh hues (think taupe and beige), lighter purples (think lavender and lilac) or lighter greens (think pistachio or peridot).
However, if you re wearing a satin split-back A-line dress with beaded cuff, hem and inset in white or ivory, going with a vivid color would work splendidly, since the bulk of the color is centered in the spilt-back of the outfit, fading into the corresponding color inset, balancing the overall composition of the gown and enhancing its elegance.
If you want to incorporate color but don t want to use color on the dress, look towards accessories, like veils, hair clips, flower clips and broaches. You can pipe your veil with color, find an exquisite broach with complicated detailing and translucent color gems, or wear a tropical flower in your hair. These little accents complement your gown without overshadowing its beauty. However, do not overdo it with the accessories. Remember that your dress should be the shining star of the ensemble.
If you re a bride to be, don t be afraid to take a chance and use color to make your bridal gown stand apart.
