Wedding Attire: Modern or Traditional?

This tradition seems to be holding strong - we surveyed last year's couples, and 82% of them said at least one of them wore white on the wedding day. Are you sticking with the tried-and-true tradition of wearing white on the wedding day? Or are you wearing more modern and colorful attire? (Bring on the blush, blue, and lavender dresses!! Smiley love )

    Traditional. I'm wearing my Grandma's! It is 78 years old now and so I did have to put an overlay with gold embroidery on it over it to hide the age staining.

    I want to go modern, but i think my heart still lies somewhat traditional. I am a PINK lover (most wedding dresses are "blush" which i normally disagree with the color) so i will likely have both white and pink ombre in my dress. I want to add fun and modern touches to the attire

    Traditional. I was looking into more modern dresses but when I finally found THE ONE, it's all white, which I have absolutely nothing against. The dress itself is still pretty unique/vintage, which I love so much about it.
