Buying a Colored Wedding Dress

Colored wedding dresses are in vogue this season, but not everyone has the confidence to wear one.  Check out our guide to colored dresses & find out if you should take the plunge!
CAPPUCCINO/CARAMEL
Suits:
* Brunettes with darker skin
* Can also warm up paler skin tones
There is no hard & fast rule as to what color you should wear & brides should keep with their own individual & personal taste.  However, hair color & skin tone do have an impact on your color choice.  As a guide blondes look good in silver tones & brunettes in golds & caramels.
A caramel/cappuccino color can look fabulous on any bride regardless of complexion.  If you have darker skin though this color collection really does compliment.  If you have fairer skin the warm tones add depth to your skin tone & look really beautiful.
 
SILVER
Suits:
* Depends on the shade of silver but can work on blondes and brunettes
Silver can be a very hard color to wear successfully.  It is very harsh & can simply drain your complexion.  If you get the right shade of silver though it can look amazing.  It is perhaps best suited to darker hair & skin tones. 
GOLD
Suits:
* Most colourings. Blondes can look great in soft golds
* Brunettes
* Red heads
Go for gold if you have red hair, the effect is stunning.
TOP TIPS FOR ALL SKIN TONES…
Ivory is always the most popular shade with brides & rarely doesn't suit anyone.  After ivory blush pink is a good choice & suits women with an English rose complexion.  It is very romantic & very flattering.  Blush is also a good alternative for cream.
If you have olive or tanned skin be brave & go for white instead of ivory as it can look stunning with warmer skin tones.
Rich neutral shades such as cream or soft gold is universally flattering.

COLOURED DRESSES
Many brides would need to be fairly confident to choose a colored gown.  They are bold & dramatic statements.  Pale blues & pinks are common at the moment & suit brides who don't want to go the whole hog & appear in a scarlet red gown.  Red gowns, however, have been around for a while & come in all shades, from bright scarlet to rich & luxurious burgundy, they are popular with second time around brides & those who don't want a tradtional white or ivory dress.  If you have a naturally bright & vibrant personality a bold colored gown would suit you perfectly.
COLOURED DETAILS
 If you don't want to go for a colored gown choose colored details instead.  Such as embroidery, inset panels or sashes.  You could also choose crystal beading in a bold color or simply colorize your accessories such as your shoes, bag or a wrap.  For an elegant way to show a flash of color have a colored band put around the hem of your petticoat.
