As an upcoming bride, most of us love the idea of incorporating family traditions brought down through the years, along with the traditional customs of being a classic bride, but who says you have to stick to all of these old traditions to feel like a perfect bride! Times are changing and so are the ideologies of a classic wedding, and we are jumping on the trend train, and switching it up!

The big question that every brides waits for… “Did you say yes to the dress!” And who doesn’t want to proudly and confidently answer this question knowing they picked the dress of their dreams. Unfortunately we find that the classic wedding goers tend to pressure new brides while deciding on the dress silhouette, embellishments, fabrics and of course color! Show your purity and resemble the classic bride all in white is what has all been the case in bridal shops for centuries…but we are excited to tell you that this does not have to be your destiny! If you aren’t a classic bride who doesn’t want to wear white, say goodbye to the stereotypical bride and change it up! Now we aren’t saying a white wedding gown isn’t gorgeous and perfect in its simplicity, we are absolutely fans of the white dress, but we are even bigger fans of your brides being comfortable in their own skin and rocking whatever look they desire! Check out a few of our favorite ideas for switching up your wedding day look with pops of color and so much more!

The Colorful Dress…

The first way to stand out and be true to yourself (whatever that means to you!) is by picking a dress that speaks to you. Designers today know that so many brides are thinking outside the box, and are excited to go for a more fashion forward look! Blush, beige, silver, pink, lavender, blue and even multicolor are only a few of the fabulous options to pick from! From a subtle pop of silver, to a blush hue overlay, or full out colorful design, the choice is yours! Never forget, you can still feel like a bride while wearing any color of the rainbow in these outstanding custom colorful bridal gowns!

A Shoe That Pops…

A famous trend that has always stolen the hearts of many is the shoe pop! Carrie Bradshaw did it best, as always with her blue Manolos’ and couture Vivienne Westwood gown. This is a festive little way to add some spunk to your classic wedding day look. If you are a bride that still longs to wear a white dress but have a pop of color, this is the perfect idea for you! Find your favorite pair of heals and rock them under your stunning gown.

Colorful Accents…

Lastly, we found that a really exciting way to add some charm to your bridal look is with color accents. This really appeals to brides who are looking to dress to their theme. Maybe a vintage bride has a colorful headband, while a romantic setting calls for a blush veil, or a bohemian bride accents with a colored sash. The more accents the better, and we absolutely love this idea for the bride who likes to stand out!
