A recent article for Vogue highlighted that an increasing number of brides are opting for non-white wedding dresses. 

In fact, the publication noted that as many as 15 per cent of brides are opting for an outfit with a bit more colour as a way to bring out their personality more on their big day. 

But what if you love the idea of adding a splash of colour, but don’t want to go all in with a coloured wedding dress? We’ve got some stylish and beautiful options to help you bring different hues to your wedding attire in a subtle way. 

Use accessories

If you’re keen to still have a white or ivory wedding dress, but want the colour to complement your outfit, accessories are the perfect solution to bring some more vibrancy to your outfit without totally forgoing tradition. 

We love the Rue Icons selection of wedding dresses for this because they demonstrate how to pair a full-length embroidered veil perfectly with a gorgeous white dress.

These designs work because of their subtlety. The hues in the embroidery are typically muted tones, bringing colour without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. 

You can also choose from a range of designs. One option in this collection combines the moon and constellations of stars with delicate pale blue flowers. Meanwhile, another is trimmed with a leaf design and has a bird as its centrepiece. 

Choose a patterned dress

Another way to introduce colour to your bridal outfit is to choose a dress that has a subtle pattern to it. In the Rue de Seine Folklore collection, there is a gown that features a bodice embroidered with delicate blue flowers.

This pale blue floral pattern also carries through into the material used for the skirt of the dress, providing an ethereal look that blends tradition with nature.
