Most people choose a dress that is a traditional form (whether it's ballgown, princess or a fish tail) and fabric, and then choose an unusual color or pattern. Doing it this way means that no one has any doubt whether you are wearing a wedding dress, whatever color it is. And these days the possibilities are endless! Red or wine shades are becoming more common ... Red is the color of love, after all! Black seems to be up and coming, which can seem incredibly unusual, but it can create a really classy, stylish effect, especially for a black tie wedding. I love the idea of a black dress with an all white bouquet.
Coordination of your wedding theme around the color of your dress is a great way to highlight your style and choice of dress. This can include the groom's outfit, bridesmaids, flowers, decorations and even food. Or why not do it the other way around? Choose a theme for your wedding and let your wedding dress follow suit ...
If you want unusual, it does not stop with color. There is no reason why your bridalwear must be a traditional form whatsoever. Why not choose something that you really can use again? More and more brides choose shorter length wedding dresses, as well as more casual fabrics. Imagine being able to wear your wedding dress when you go out to celebrate your wedding day!
There are so many styles of dresses available today, whether specifically for weddings or just on the high street. Experiments with layered dresses, different types of drapes and fabric, and make even more of a statement by adding interesting and unusual accessories such as feathers and beads.
