Color Options for Designer Wedding Dresses
Once upon a time, wedding dresses were all white, beaded lace and floor-length gowns that trailed across the floor in a graceful manner. It seemed that all brides were offered the same limited selections for their wedding, regardless of their personality or individual tastes. Too often, brides who preferred a dress with more pizzazz and color were sadly left with too few options.
Thankfully, times have changed. Today, the modern bride has many more styles from which to choose her wedding gown, and her color selections are limited only by her own imagination and sense of style. Now that some of the world’s most talented designers are diving into wedding fashions and creating gowns as colorful as they are elegant, this truly is a significant and wonderful time to get married.
While there are some brides who love the thought of walking down the aisle in the same bold hues as her beautiful bridal party, most only want a way to add their own flair to their already classic beauty and timeless elegance. In order to help narrow down all the fabulous choices of colors from which to choose, below is an introduction to the color options available for designer wedding dresses.
Change the Color
Sometimes, while shopping for the perfect wedding gown, you find the dress of your dreams but are disappointed with the bland white color that every other bride seems to be donning. Instead of settling for a dress you are not completely happy with, first check to see if the specific style you want is available in any additional colors. By utilizing the expertise available, you may find that the designer original, complete with an Alencon lace trimmed train that you simply adore, is also available in a breathtaking champagne hue. The way the light subtly diffuses off of this classic and intricate fabric will be nothing short of eye-catching, even on the bride with the perfectly porcelain complexion.
Perhaps it is not the white dress that leaves you wanting more, but the fact that so many white gowns can appear insipid once you try it on. An excellent alternative is to look for a dress in the most brilliant shade of diamond white that one can find. A strapless ball gown with a full, flowing panel-draped skirt is sure to be as exquisite on your special day as it is on the hanger. English Net paired with a brilliant white ribbon around your waist will ensure this dress attracts many murmured “oohs” and “aahs” as you take those first steps down the aisle towards the love of your life. To complete your timeless style, a hand-draped bodice is another stunning feature available in many modern designer wedding gowns.
Accent Your Waist
Giving the unsuspecting eye a place to rest can enhance the natural beauty of nearly any shade of wedding gown. Consider the strapless Silk Organza ball gown in ivory. This timeless gown is a versatile and classic style complete with a pleated organza bodice. However, a simple modification around the waist can take this dress from elegant to extraordinary. By adding a belt of Panne Velvet with a painstaking crystal trim, this dress adds the illusion of color without taking away from its elegant charm.
Another option for the strapless ball gown in silk satin is to add a wide obi belt with dazzling crystals. A particularly stunning option is to add the belt in a contrasting color, or one that beautifully ties in with the hues of your bridal party. Windsor blue against a white dress is a look that can standout without going overboard. An even better option is a belt that also sports a bow and full-length sash tying in the back, adding a splash of subdued color to this A-line gown in an elaborate and dramatic way.
Add an Embellishment
Perhaps the most stunning look for the modern bride is the bold use of black on your Silk Taffeta gown. This sweetheart neckline demands to be admired with its beaded bodice encrusted with crystals referred to as “black ice.” These daring gems are featured prominently across the bodice of the gown and in a band down the side of the skirt. The train features handmade black bows illuminating youthful elegance. For the extra-daring bride, a black wrap can complete this look in a glamorous fashion.
While all of the jewels and gemstones can provide an attention-grabbing addition to the standard silk and cotton Faille gown, they are not the only thing that makes this unique dropped torso ivory dress one of as kind. Subtle satin sashes which are adorned with additional jewels and feathers in rich shades of black and brown make this gown a must-have this season. Your guests will not know whether to admire your sense of style or the way you look in this feminine and flirtatious original.
