Ways to Add Color to Your White Wedding Dress
Some brides prefer a more traditional look, and that’s okay! A small touch of color can go a long way. Here are a few ways to add a subtle touch of color to your otherwise white wedding ensemble.
Colored Wedding Veils
When it comes to veils, you have as many options as weddings gowns. Consider metallic accented veils, embroidered veils, or ombre veils. For minimal color, consider a veil with a precious jewel encrusted comb. This simple custom ombre veil would make a beautiful ‘something blue’!
Colored Sash or Ribbon
A trendy way to add color to your gown, consider a sash or ribbon. A sash is a quick and easy way to accent your waistline, particularly on a-line gowns. A ribbon on the other hand can be added in various places. Place a single large ribbon on your shoulder for fun mismatched look. Or tie delicate tulle ribbons at each shoulder for a soft and romantic vibe.
Embroidery
Colorful embroidered details are a unique way to add color to your wedding dress. You may purchase a gown with embroidery, or have it custom embroidered. If you prefer minimal color however, consider keeping the embroidery towards the bodice. Take a look at the ‘Forget me Not’ gown by Abigail of Gardenia.
Ombre Skirt
Ombre skirts are oh so whimsical! Dresses featuring ombre skirts are popping up more and more in designer collections. Whereas you previously had to source an artist to do the work. Or risk the dyeing process yourself! For the least color, look for an ombre in a pastel shade. If you want a darker look, that’s okay too! You might even find a gown that features a multi-color ombre.
