While some in the wedding party or guest list may balk at colored wedding
dresses, when it comes right down to it, the wedding dress, and of course the
wedding, is for the bride and groom, and therefore the bride should pick a color
that suits her and her future husband's tastes and personality.
Choose the colors that complement your wedding's motif. The closer the shade
of your wedding dresses' accents to your motif, the better.Consider how the
color of your choice will look on your wedding dresses. White may be neutral,
but it doesn't mean that anything goes with white. For instance, choosing a
chocolate brown sash or a dirt brown bow may not work well for you or your
wedding dress. Instead of looking special, you will end up looking dowdy.
Think about how your accentuated wedding dresses will look with the other
wedding accessories. Will the accents stick out like a sore thumb? You may have
picked out a shade that basically belongs to the same family as your wedding
theme. Your wedding theme lilac. You chose to accentuate your wedding dress with
a deep purple sash. Note, deep purple, the color of mourning. That is not good
at all.
A red wedding dress or a red and white wedding dress might be the perfect
choice for a Valentine's Day wedding. A royal blue with silver and gold could be
perfect for an evening wedding in the winter or around the holidays. For an
outdoor garden wedding, light florals or pastel colors might be a perfect
complement to the surroundings.
It is good to be daring. In fact, the best inventions in this world emerged
because a lot of people were audacious enough to try new things. However, this
does not always apply to your wedding dresses' color combinations, or color
patterns for that matter. Plaid, checkered or stripes will never work in a
wedding. Leopard prints, zebra prints or giraffe prints will produce worse
effects. Imagine how horrifying it would be for your guests. Unless of course,
your venue is the public zoo.
