Wedding Dresses, A Little Color Please Picture a wedding dress. What do you see? A gorgeous ivory beaded gown, right? While most wedding dresses are some shade of white, other colors are making their way into the picture. Brides interested in a little color in their wedding no longer have to settle for it in their chair covers, tablecloths and centerpieces. Just as bridal bouquets are getting more colorful, so are bridal gowns. While the majority of wedding dresses are some shade of white, other colors are available. One look online will uncover dozens of possibilities in
an array of colors from deep red to emerald green to classy black. For brides who prefer the traditional but still yearn for some color, designers are making dresses with colored bodices and/or colored blocks in the skirt. A bride who looks lovely in blue can still have her cake and eat it too, with a bridal gown featuring a navy blue bodice and a white tulle skirt. For brides interested in a bit less color, white wedding gowns are available with a hint of color here and there. Many designers today are relying on embellishments like appliqués, beads,
ribbons and sashes to add color to wedding dresses. A bride who adores red can still have her dreamy princess dress, made of yards and yards of satin and tulle, but with red floral appliqués sewn onto the tulle skirt overlay and a red satin ribbon tied around the waist to go with her ruby tiara.
