Why You Should Choose a Vibrant Wedding Gown
Today’s wedding culture allows for a lot of creativity! Brides are coming up with unique ways to make their weddings memorable and reflect their personalities. Choosing a non-traditional wedding gown is a great way to create a standout experience. Why not /opt for color over the traditional white? Here are ten great ideas to keep in mind when choosing a vibrant wedding gown.
Personal Comfort and Confidence
One great reason to choose a vibrant color for your wedding gown over the traditional white is your own comfort and confidence. Not everyone wants to wear white, and in today’s world, that is okay. It’s your special day, and you are the bride. You should feel as comfortable and confident as you can as you welcome your guests to help you celebrate the most important day of your life.
Venue and Theme Match
Many brides are now choosing to color coordinate with the venue and the theme. If you are having a quiet garden wedding, you may want to choose a dress complimented by soft pastels and floral shades. A dusty rose may blend in if you are having a desert wedding. Contrasts also work with this type of idea. In a wedding of neutral tones, a bold and vibrant wedding dress will stand out and create a dramatic effect.
Skin Tone and Color Coordination
Let’s face it. Not everyone looks great in white. You absolutely do not need to force yourself into the dress that other brides are squeezing into. Choose a dress that compliments your skin tone. Working with your natural hues will help you feel more confident on your special day.
Time of Year
Choosing a wedding dress that is appropriate seasonally will help complement the time of year and create a memory that reflects the moment. In the winter, you may want to choose a subdued color like blue or grey. Even an emerald green works for this season of dim and neutral tones. If your wedding is in the spring or summer, bright corals or even floral tones reflect the scenery in a way that is completely appropriate.
Accessories and Jewellery
How should you accessorize a vibrantly colored dress? When you wear a white dress, it seems only appropriate to wear subtle jewellery. Pearl studs and a simple strand of pearls are a good choice for a white wedding dress. However, with a vibrant color, the sky’s the limit. You can accessorize as boldly as the dress itself. Or you can pair it with the most subtle options and let the bold colors speak for themselves.
Photography Considerations
The color shows up on camera very differently from white. Before the wedding, you may want to do some test shots with your photographer. This way, you can choose the appropriate backdrop and photo composition to make the most of your bold color choices.
Traditions and Cultural Sensitivities
Some colors may be meaningful in different ways for various cultures and traditions. Particularly in culturally blended families, it is crucial to be aware of what each color symbolizes. In Chinese culture, red indicates prosperity and good luck. Other colors hold significance in other cultures. This is an excellent opportunity to do a little research into the traditions of your own family as well as your partner’s family. Choosing colors that bear significance in your new family can create a meaningful tribute and an instant bond.
Spouse Attire Coordination
You and your spouse-to-be are different people, but you work together perfectly; likewise, you can coordinate without being matchy-matchy. Even if you are sticking to tradition and not allowing your spouse to see your dress before the wedding, you can coordinate what you will be wearing by simply discussing the color scheme. This doesn’t mean that you wear exactly matching colors. Instead, find colors that complement each other and harmonize, just like your personalities do in life.
Quality of Fabric
Be sure to choose a gown of high enough quality that the color doesn’t compromise the general look of the dress. Various dyes can give a different look to certain fabrics, so you may want to check the fabric for a few things. Make sure you are comfortable in the dress and that the fabric is comfortable on your skin. Make sure that the quality of the fabric photographs well. Finally, check the fabric to see if it is flexible enough to let you move around as much as you intend to at your wedding.
Trust Your Instincts
Overall, trust your instincts. It’s your wedding, and you know what is appropriate and what will make you feel the most comfortable. Any former bride will tell you that the happiest brides make confident choices and their own decisions. Try not to be overly influenced by friends or family, while at the same time being respectful of their needs as well as family traditions and customs.
Conclusion
Ultimately, it’s your big day, and you want to stand out in a big way. White is a color that is completely appropriate for your wedding. But other colors are now relevant, too. It’s no longer necessary to wear white for your wedding. Wearing a vibrant color on your wedding day means adapting to a global perspective and embracing a universally encompassing worldview. Enjoy this process and use it as an opportunity to express your individuality.
