Coloured Bridal Gowns in Sydney Are in Vogue For The Untraditional Bride

The advent of white and ivory as a wedding dress colour began when Queen Victoria wore a white lace wedding gown for her wedding in 1840. Before this the colour red was the colour to be worn by the bride. Steering off tradition this choice by the queen changed the future of wedding gowns indefinitely. Bridal Gowns in Sydney while available abundantly in white can be a little hard to find in different colours but where there is a will, there is a way. Keep on reading to get ideas for a coloured wedding gown for your wedding day.

Culturally and traditionally different colours have different meanings. While some may choose to believe in them, others do what they think is best or rather what suits them best. White may look different and good on most but if someone is extremely pale, the colour white just will not look flattering on them. By incorporating little touches of other colours in the whole dress, the monotony of the white dress can be broken and will be suitable for the remainder of the brides as well. How can the colour be incorporated you might ask?

Essentially there are two ways to go about it. The first one is to colour specific parts of the dress. For example most bridal dresses have flowers and vines on them. Patterns of vines and flowers embroidered. What you can do is, use green thread instead of white in some areas to colour the stem of some of the flowers. 

Let us say there are about 50 flowers with stems on the whole dress. To make it clean, neat and pretty the colour must be added scarcely. Out of the fifty you can only colour about 20 on the skirt including front and back and the upper body should remain plain white. By colouring the stems of the flowers green and the flower itself red, the combination of bright red and green on white will look exceedingly gorgeous. 

Another combination is light green stems and light pink flowers for a more toned down look. Likewise if your dress only has flowers embroidered, you can colour some light pink and some light yellow to enhance its appearance. Experiment with colours on your own in your free time and come up with a combination or a single colour which you like or something that holds special meaning to you.

The second way to go about it is to dye the whole dress in another colour. The colours that will look best are pastels. A suggestion perhaps? Try doing a light beige nude if you do not want to experiment too much or do not want to be too out there. The gossip mongers will be out for your blood once you decide to deviate from tradition so you could either play it safe by doing a light colour or go completely haywire and go with a dark blue, maroon, green or just black. In pastels, light pink, mauve, yellow and nude look the best with light jewellery and natural hair. Just make sure to buy what you love when going hunting for bridal gowns in Sydney.
