Wedding dress colors: a few thoughts

When you’re getting married, all details (monograms, colors, favors) matter. However, like many brides, the wedding dress may be your “pièce de resistance”, and should be as close to perfection as possible! Many opt to wear a white dress, but 1) there are several shades of white, and 2) different color wedding dresses have been all the rage these past few years. Making a choice between all of the variations can be tough. This article will review the different color options to help you decide how to add color to a wedding dress!

Different color wedding dresses have been all the rage.

Pure white

This is the “whitest” white. A stark, cool shade, pure white has forever been the classic wedding dress color choice. We see it a lot in our custom wedding dress orders, as it is ingrained in many cultures. Indeed, its pristine appearance still represents a symbol of purity in certain regions. This wedding dress color looks amazing in all fabrics but is especially stunning for pure minimalistic gowns, or dresses paired with silver-toned embellishments like sparkling crystals. When wearing pure white, we suggest to pair it with silver-toned embellishments like sparkling crystals.

Diamond white (off white)

Also referred to as off white, diamond white is a color that can make for a stunning wedding dress. Its hue is slightly warmer (and “milkier”) than pure white, giving it a softer and more universally flattering look. It is suitable to most skin tones and its toned-down color gives brides a romantic vibe; It has been gaining in popularity, as brides start exploring beyond traditional pure white.

Light champagne

Light champagne (which is pretty close to beige) will give your dress a rich color that boasts just a hint of gold.It has also been an increasingly popular wedding dress color, and works especially well for gowns with lace appliqués and pearl beading, as the color compliments pearls very well. It makes for spectacular dresses; as well as the next color, it works well with gold accessories, which will really work with the undertones of the dress.

Champagne

Taking that hint of color to the next level, champagne has a more vibrant gold undertone than light champagne. That wedding dress color gives brides the perfect amount of sophistication and elegance. It is an ideal canvas for showing off lacy patterns.

Blush

If you are looking to add color to your gown in a super fun way, blush could be the perfect solution. This light pink color gives dresses a rosy look that can work very well with lacy, fairytale-like gowns. This wedding color is also super versatile, as the pink can be as faint or as dark as desired.
