The all-white wedding dress may be traditional, but designers are now giving brides the option of including some colour in their wedding-day look. From pale pink to bright red and “something blue” to striking black, a bride can choose from subtle touches to bold details. The choice of adding a colour to your wedding dress is no longer limited to a sash or belt at the waist. Designers placed coloured underlays beneath lace or organza, piped the edges of white and ivory in bright hues, and also showed floral patterns, perfect for weddings held in a garden. Here are a few of our favourite wedding gowns with colourful details.
