Pastels are a lovely alternative that can perfectly compliment the bride’s complexion. Palest pinks, icy blues and pale, butter-cream yellows are all elegant choices that are perfect for your special day. A pale gold or shimmering silver gown is also a sophisticated choice for an evening wedding, when the most formal of attire is expected.
If you are set on a white gown, however, you don’t have to be limited to all-over white. Consider a gown of white lace with a silk or satin underlay in another color for an interesting contrast. Embellishments of sequins, beading or embroidery can also add rich detail in colors of your choice. A white gown trimmed at the neckline in a richer can add color to the face and break up the starkness of the dress.
Whatever color you choose for your wedding gown, if you consider how it looks against your skin as well as how it works with the style of the gown, you will glow on your wedding day!
