Because all women do not necessarily see themselves in pristine white, focus on wedding dresses colors that pull more and more their pin of the game.

A WHITE MARRIAGE DRESS, A TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE SYMBOL

The white wedding dress is one of the absolute symbols of marriage, but it suffers from many received ideas, starting with its representation of purity, virginity and innocence. No, getting married in white does not mean that one has waited for marriage to taste the pleasures of the flesh.

For religiously celebrated marriages , be aware that the Church in no way imposes a white color. You choose your outfit. For Christians, the white of the wedding dress is essentially reminiscent of the baptismal garment. Hence the special affection for this color! Not to mention that white wedding dresses are still the most connoted wedding in the collective consciousness ... Even if all your guests know you (normally), there is no risk of confusing yourself with a lambda guest for your big day.

THE BONUS OF A COLORED BRIDAL DRESS

It is clear that today more and more future wives abandon the traditional side by choosing a color dress! But be careful, a colorful wedding dress may not be unanimous with all your guests. Very often attached to customs, your grannies may not appreciate this audacity. Do not hesitate to talk to them before the ceremony!

To avoid shocking the purists, you can opt for a wedding dress combining a strong color with white. In past seasons, ivory and burgundy wedding dresses have been a hit with young women.

Some brides do not want a white wedding dress for several reasons. They may prefer a colored wedding dress because it is not their first marriage, they already have children or just because they have been living with their mate for a very long time. So many good reasons to leave the white wedding dresses in store! Young non-conformist women also abandon the white wedding dress to mark their originality, assume their difference and highlight their favorite color. The trend is towards pastel colors such as Parma, peach, powdery pink, bluish and water green or bright colors such as red (burgundy, poppy, coral) or pearl gray. Pastels are recommended for future brides having a large body, as they refine the silhouette.
