Making a Colourful Splash on Your Big Day

2010-06-17 17:46:32 - Nice day for a white wedding? More brides are opting for a burst of colour on their big day – but that doesn’t have to mean changing the classic white dress.

When it comes to your big day, it’s a chance to wear the kind of white dress you only get to wear once in life. It’s not surprising that white, off-white and ivory dresses are still the most popular colour of choice. But that doesn’t mean you can’t inject some exquisite colour and energy into your ceremony. Bursts of colour

are on trend in the wedding world. In the past, everything revolved around the same dress – but now anything goes in bridal fashion. This season, lighter fabrics, shorter lengths and splashes of colour are in.

Chiffon is a hot fabric this summer influenced by trends on the catwalk. Chiffon offers a lighter, softer alternative to stiffer, traditional fabrics. Destination weddings, such as beach weddings, have changed the formal approach to wedding dresses to allow more flexibility and movement in the wedding wear. Easy to wear, flowing dresses are increasingly popular with knee-length dresses in lace, silk, taffeta and satin a statement of choice. Textures are also more varied with embellished pleats and frayed edges to help dresses stand out from the crowd. Statement dresses are often matched with feathers or wispy headpieces as the classic tiara is on the wane.

But the fact is most brides still opt for ivory or cream dresses to pay homage to tradition. One way to inject colour is to focus on shoes – hot pinks, emerald green or sea-blue shoes can be matched with colour themes in the bouquet, wedding chair covers or bridesmaid dresses for a show stopping effect. Colour is also big when it comes to accessories – coloured earrings and bracelets are a way to match the decor on your wedding chair covers. Wedding chair covers don’t just come in basic colours – there are hundreds of shades to choose from to compliment your dress and style. You can even match your wedding chair covers to your lipstick!
