I am the queen of colour. I live for colour. So when it comes to a wedding dress I
have thought about the possibility of having a coloured wedding dress.
(for about 5 seconds).
I do like the idea of
heavy colour accents in the accessories with a ivory gown but for fun and seeing as i am so into colour I thought why not do
a bit of research and see what options there are out there.
To my surprise, colour is very in at the moment.
Muted tones and pastel colours are a great option when
deciding on a coloured wedding dress. It just works better, you want to look
elegant, beautiful and sophisticated on your wedding day so having an
offensively bright dress can detract from actual wedding a little and create
more of a shock factor. (think gypsy wedding, this one happens to have put her bridesmaids in the offensive dresses, I know mine would die if i made them wear these!! he he )
-Gypsy wedding-
If you are
into shock and over the top-ness then go for it girl! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but for me,
while I inject colour into nearly every aspect of my life (and I mean bright colour….see
my website kirstohh.com if you are not yet familiar with my style), I think a
soft version of colour would work best if i was to do it.
I really like the idea of using an evening gown as an option for a wediding dress- your wedding dress doesn't even have to be technically made to be a wedding dress. Any haute couture gown will work perfectly!
The location we have chose wouldn’t
really work with a big beacon of a dress anyway so softer colours and metallics are
what I prefer If I was to go down the coloured route.
At the end of the day the bride can do whatever the heck she
wants – its her wedding dress and her wedding day. I love how you are the only one who can decide, its really
lovely to have a day where it is all about you and all up to you. I am definitely enjoying that aspect of
it, especially as we all live such busy lives and I am often catering to
others. To take the time out to write these blogs and research on the internet
and magazines has become my special time. I LOVE IT! Those of you engaged or already married will understand
this, those who are yet to be trust me it is so fun and exciting and definitely
something to look forward to. You
can do whatever you want, however simple or extravagant as you like. This is your one and only day so make
it count!
Stay Snazzy,
Kirst
