Dress Color

Kelly, on March 30, 2022 at 2:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 5 13

I'd like your opinions on what color dress to wear. (I'm planning this early because I'll take a year to decide). I originally thought I'd wear a red ballgown with gold embroidery, but now I'm thinking I want to wear white. Everyone will know who I am at the wedding, but I still want it to be obvious that I'm the bride. I would dye a white dress after the wedding so I could wear it again. What are your thoughts on color?

    I think everyone will know you're the bride no matter what color you wear!! So if you want to wear red and gold you should go for it!! Smiley heart

    You could also wear a more traditionally bridal white dress for the ceremony and change into your red gown for the reception!

    I am a fan of non-traditional dresses. I thought I'd end up with something far from white/ivory/champagne. After buying two dressing and changing idea on how/when we are getting married two times, I ended up with a champagne dress. You'll know when it feels right.

    I think a gold dress would be beautiful, I think it’s your wedding you can do whatever you want and you will look outstanding!

    My friend wore red to her wedding because white just washed her out and she looked fantastic. I wore an ivory dress with touches of pink Smiley smile. I think you just have to try things on and see what you like when you wear the colours and the white and see what suits you best (or what you fall in love with Smiley smile ).

    I think you should go with the wedding dress that feels most comfortable to wear and you love wearing it. If you feel happier in the red and gold dress, go for it!

    I love non-traditional dresses. They are just as stunning as white/ivory-colored dresses.

    I went with an off-white dress because the full white washed me out.

    Thanks everyone. I'm currently looking for a secondhand white dress. I'm never going to like a dress $2000 worth.

    I don't know that a dress will ever "feel right" for me. The way I see it, I can't make a wrong decision, I just have to make a decision.

    Thanks. I've been looking at all sorts of variations on white, including blush and champagne. Maybe I'll decide after trying on another 100 dresses.

    Wow really you have tried on that many dresses on lol and nothing pulled at your heart string yet. And I didn't know that they let you try on that many dresses on. I hope that you find the 1 and get that feeling as I did. Or you just know and if goes to your entourage not to persuade you on your dress and decision

    Yeah I've been to a bunch of different places. It's weird because I'm usually very decisive. I don't think I'll ever get the feeling that a dress is "the one" because I'm just not like that.
