The Coloured Wedding Dress: Spring 2013

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday October 11, 2012

Amber Tamblyn, one of my favourite actresses from the (so very good, don't judge me) Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants was recently married to comedian David Cross. I kind of love this couple, they're cute 'n quirky and oh-so adorable. One of the reasons I love them so much is because of Ms. Tamblyn's choice of wedding dress. Instead of going with the same ol' white dress, she threw everyone for a loop and walked down the aisle in a sunny, yellow gown. Amber isn't alone in her decision to incorporate colour into her big day. Reese Witherspoon wore a rose dress and trend maker Gwen Stefani donned a white and hot pink ombre gown.

While the coloured wedding dress may not be for everyone, you have to admit it's unique and makes a statement. A coloured gown can be a great alternative for the non-traditional bride, for a renewal or for a more casual and laid back setting.

For all the brides-to-be this spring, I'm inviting you to take a look at some of these coloured gowns. Here are ten picks that we thought were a great start to thinking outside the box.

Would you ever walk down the aisle in something a little different? Perhaps you've thought of adding a bit of colour as an accent on your dress?

Though I have seen some that I like that are very light-blue or pink that is close to white. Out of these dresses, I like the Carolina Herrera dress. Most of the others remind me of prom dresses or something you'd wear to the oscars. I think color should be reserved for the bridesmaids or an accent color.

I suppose if it was in a wedding gown cut (like the Oscar de la Renta, for example) it works, but a slim cut dress looks like bridesmaid fashion. Not in a bad way! Just in an unexpected way. If I was getting married again (which I'm not - I'm happy with my mister) I'd probably go with a less formal white dress. I wouldn't go full Cinderella on round 2, but if I were a 1st time bride I might consider a pale colour like the Carolina Herrera.
