Does a silver dress clash with a gold wedding?

Heidi, on June 11, 2019 at 1:24 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
My wedding colors are red, navy and gold. I have yet to buy a dress, but I am wondering if a dress with silver sequins or beading will clash with my wedding theme? Bridesmaid dresses are red and gold. I already have some accessories that are gold...

    Absolutely not unless the dress is totally bedazzled in silver beading everywhere and very prominent. Otherwise, you can get away with mixing metals for your accessories and no matter what dress you pick it will not clash with a gold themed decor!

    If your dress had prominent silver beading on it like mine does then I would say it would clash. But if it's subtle sequins and beading (there are dresses with clear beads and white/opal beading) I don't see why it wouldn't go! My dress has Swarovski crystals on them and there's definitely a silver tone to it.

    No, the bride does not need to match the decor. In any event, metals such as silver and gold are viewed as neutral and can mix well together. My accessories were silver but my colors were burgundy and gold.

    Mismatched metals aren't really a bad thing, and personally, I like silver better with wedding gowns anyways. If you don't match your bridesmaids, I think you'll stand out rather than clash.

    I have the same colors and also am getting married in the summer! Have you decided on any decor yet? We’re debating still what color my FH should wear with gold , navy and red being our colors.

    Yes, we are having a beauty and the beast themed wedding! Navy tablecloths, gold runners, red charger plates and lots of roses and gold candelabras. We just picked out tuxes and we are going with a navy three piece suit. My FH is wearing a champagne colored bow tie that has a little gold sparkle in it, which matches my dress. It’s champagne and white with lots of crystals and a layer of gold glitter tulle. Our groomsmen are wearing red bow ties with their navy suit.

    That’s a good idea! I love beauty and the beast! Is it a favorite movie for you two? My dress gives me a beauty and the beast feel. My dress is a light gold with darker gold sparkles on it! I instantly fell in love with it. Your bow ties sound like they’re going to look really good! I’d love to have navy suits, but FH isn’t a fan of it for some reason so our bridesmaids are wearing navy. I’m not sure what other color our groomsmen can wear with our color scheme that will look good. What are your bridesmaids wearing?
