If you want a dress that will give you an “instant wow factor” when walking down the aisle… then consider a colored wedding dress or even a white wedding dress with color added to it.

Just remember these tips when it comes to choosing your wedding dress color:

• Make sure the color works with your hair and skin tone. Some colors can make a person look washed out and others can enhance your coloring.
• Consider your theme and wedding formality. If you are having an ultra formal wedding you may not want to choose a red wedding dress or black wedding dress. These colors are still considered fadish for some societies.
• After you have chosen your wedding dress color take great care in choosing the color of your bridesmaids dresses. They must enhance your dress, not take away from it.

Some of the trendy colours featured in bridal magazines are pink wedding dresses, red wedding dresses and black wedding dresses. But there are also blue, green, silver and gold wedding gowns. Then there are wedding dress colors with more exotic names like mocha, latte and fawn.

Wedding Dresses With Color Add That Little Extra Touch

If you can’t seem to bring yourself to wear a gown made in one solid color, then consider wearing a white wedding dress with color added to it. There are styles that have beading, lace and embroidery to accent the gown in a contrasting color.

Some gowns have insets, collars and yokes made in contrasting color. Others use ribbons and sashes tied around the waist to add color to a wedding dress.

One popular color combination is the red and white wedding dress. There are others like black and white wedding gowns and navy blue and white. Alfred Angelo, Alexia Designs, Eden Bridals and David’s Bridal have a couple of wedding gown styles that you can have a dress made in a number of color combinations.

So if you are looking for a unique “attention grabbing” bridal gown–then consider a colored wedding dress for your perfect wedding dress!

Choosing a Gown Color For Your Skintone

These wedding gown color tips will help you choose the best gown color for your skin tone:

Fair skin tones with pink undertones, are beautiful against light shades of Ivory, also called eggshell or candelight ivory, or White gown fabrics. Many brides look best in a soft, diamond white, which is a shade less stark looking than white.

Medium skin tones with yellow or olive undertones look best against creamy, yellow undertone Ivory or Champagne color bridal fabrics.
