Historically, the white wedding dress was a symbol for a bride's chastity, purity, and innocence. Modern brides are straying away from the traditionalism of the past and opting for an edgy, shocking, and unique look for their big day. As with any change, it can be scary to think of doing something away from the norm. On the other hand, some brides are so anti-white that they are willing to wear red, pink, even black wedding dresses. Here are some things to consider if you are stuck between going traditional white or shocking colored wedding dress.
Personality: Think about your personality first when searching for your wedding dress. Are you traditional, unique, conservative, a little crazy? If you emphasize your individuality in every other segment of life then you have likely already considered going with a colorful wedding dress. But maybe your worried about what your mother and the bridesmaids will say when they see you in a non-traditional wedding dress. Don't let the objections of others sway you. That bright red dress may be the perfect fit for your individuality. Instead you can make the naysayers happy by choosing to incorporate a little tradition into your look. You can wear a bridal veil or grab a traditional wedding bouquet. If you are the conservative bride, you have probably realized that if you go with the white dress you're big day could get lost in the crowd. Why not be adventurous and try something outside your comfort zone? Add a colorful sash or some other dramatic wedding accessories to get that stunning color into your outfit. This way you can still have your dream of the white dress and stand out from the crowd.
Next you must consider how "bridal" you want to look. Often a bride has been dreaming of her big day for years and those thoughts have likely been centered around the traditional white dress. Due to this, the idea of going with anything but a white dress can be little disheartening for many brides. Another fear of the conservative bride is that without the white dress they will not be recognized as "The Bride". The spectrum of the question of how "bridal" you want to look is a big question. Now if you are on the colorful dress side of the spectrum you again can remind people that you are the bride by wearing a trendy veil or traditional wedding bouquet. And if you are the traditional bride you can add a splash of color with a belt, sash, or other colorful wedding accessories.
Consider the way your dress fits. You must go into your dress shopping with an open mind and without a narrow focus. If your criteria is to restrictive you could miss out on the perfect dress for your personality. Allow yourself to try on white dresses and colorful dresses. Find a dress that flatters your figure and evokes that "feeling" when you wear it. Remember that if your dress is traditional white you can add color accents with your shoes, a sash, your veil, or any other wedding accessories. But definitely allow yourself to try on a blush, ivory, or off-white dress and see how it feels.
Prepare to shock your guests: If you're wearing a colored wedding dress, you are more than likely going to feel some resistance from your family. Once you've found that perfect balance of color and tradition in your wedding attire, don't tell any of your guests about the gown. Instead, wait until you're walking
