Bold and beautiful: Colorful wedding gowns

The wedding gown is perhaps one of the best representations of a woman’s personal style. That is why many brides-to-be take a lot of time searching for the dress. They want a gown that will make them look and feel stunning as they exchange vows with the man of their dreams—a perfect dress for a perfect day.

In their search for the ultimate dress, most brides end up with the traditional long, all-white gown. Styles would vary of course, depending on the bride’s taste but as most style experts note, most would keep the gown very traditional.

But there are some brides who would defy tradition and opt for a dress that is unconventional for many; for example, choosing a colored gown over the traditional white. When Jessica Biel married Justin Timberlake last October, she joined a handful of celebrities who went for the blushing bridal look. Mrs. Timberlake’s cotton candy-colored Giambattista Valli dress featured light pink floral motifs and ruffles with a long veil decorated with pearls.

If a pink gown is not modern enough for some brides, then perhaps a splash of lavender would do, like some of the dresses featured during the New York International Bridal Fashion Week. This includes the purple ombre dress with feathers by Kelly Faetanini.

But if a bride really wants to make a statement, then the gown for her would be the highlighter-yellow tulle ball gown by Max Chaoul Coutoure or the red masterpiece by Yumi Katsura. Both gowns are truly showstoppers.
