How to Add Color to your Dress

Sure, a white wedding dress is known to embody a timeless, classic look for a bride. Saturated in the appeal of purity, innocence, and new beginnings, this dress color still remains the most popular choice throughout the years. However, the color white doesn’t mean you have to stay in line with tradition, as there are plenty of ways to creatively use the color to your advantage.

Accent Colors

Brides are able to choose any accent color they desire when wearing a white wedding dress. Popular combinations include pale blue and white for magical memories; black and white for a classic look; and pink and white for brides who want to look like princesses on their special day.

Accessorizing

Diamonds, semi-precious stones, and a classic string of pearls are all acceptable choices for accessories to match a white wedding dress. There will be no worrying whether or not your mother's sapphire earrings will clash or if you can get away with the lime green wedding shoes you have your heart set on. The color white will most certainly accommodate the color and style of your accessories.

Easy Decorating

The color white matches well with any aspect of a wedding, from table decorations at the reception to alluring tulle draped over church pews during the ceremony. Imagine white rose petals strewn about the ceremony space, white feather boas wrapped around the bridesmaids, and the beauty of white dove centerpieces. 

Accommodates Nearly All Wedding Themes

Unless you're planning a Gothic affair, a white wedding dress can match nearly any ceremony style and color palette. Usually, a white wedding dress is a must for the bride who pictures a storybook wedding or winter wonderland for her walk down the aisle. White is also a beautiful color that accommodates any seasonal wedding, especially summer and winter nuptials. Imagine the beauty of a white wedding dress surrounded by pale pales, pinks, and peaches.

Bright white wedding dresses look amazing with outdoor settings, such as beach ceremonies. You could also elevate your wedding with an old Hollywood setting, where glitz and glam is required – arriving at your ceremony in a white Rolls Royce and emerge wearing a dazzling white ensemble. 

Flower Choices

Perhaps you'd like to center your wedding plans on a certain white flower. White roses, tulips, and calla lilies bring to life a classic setting. Pair hydrangeas, Gerber daisies, and orchids for an enchanting display of old world charm.
