Colorful Wedding Dresses

The Right Colored Wedding Dress

Adding colour to their gowns expressing their personalities and to keep the wedding look updated.

Color could be added to a wedding dress with embroidery, a band at the top of the neckline or bottom of the hem, within the open train, or a sash around the waist. Wedding brides are incorporating their best colors be it purple, green, or black or just adding color to match with their wedding party. Brides in China wear red and a bride from Ireland may have a bodice of emerald green velvet.

You may desire to choose a wedding gown that isn't white at all. It will be surprising to your guests, but it will also be memorable. If you want to make sure that a colored dress still has the feel of a wedding dress, choose a silhouette that your average wedding guest wouldn't wear - like a full skirted ball gown. It may be rich gold or deep violet, but it will still resemble a traditional wedding gown.

Maybe you have a classic dress that is a family heirloom that has unfortunate staining. If the fabric is in good shape, speak with a professional and find out if the dress will withstand being dyed a slightly darker color. It's a great way to preserve a piece of your family history.

You don't have to have a bold colored dress. Some brides opt for a colored dress for practical reasons. It may be that the pure white of a traditional dress doesn't flatter your skin tone or maybe this isn't your first wedding. In any case, you may choose a dress in a subtle champagne, silver, or a pale pink. Adding color to your wedding dress doesn't have to be some huge fashion statement.

Dressing For A Wedding - Tips To Look Good

There is a unique style that can be followed for every other wedding you attend depending on the location, the time and the season. If the invitation is addressed formally, it implies that the guests are required to dress formally for the occasion. On the other hand, a casual invite suggests that the guests can dress casually for the wedding.

For selecting what to wear, the wedding location can be of great help. For a beach wedding or a wedding in a lawn, steer clear of high heels as they tend to sink in the sand and the grass respectively. For an outdoor wedding, very light dresses have to be shunned as they tend to get caught with the wind. A subtle dress can be worn for a wedding at a warm and humid location. However, if the wedding is to take place at a club or a five-star restaurant, you can prefer being wearing a tailored suit or any other dressy outfit.

# OUTFITS FOR THE SUNSHINE WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A nice fitted skirt with a sweater and sling back shoes.

2. A suit in a subtle color which is not too formal.

3. A dress with a nice floral pattern.

4. A striking hat which would go well with the outfit and would compliment it.

For the 40+ men:-

1. A linen or seersucker suit in a light color is the most apt outfit for a summer wedding.

2. For winter weddings, go for darker shades and warmer fabrics. Woolen suits, charcoal pants, ties and a sweater beneath the blazer are a nice option.

3. A blazer together with a dress shirt, pants and a tie is another elegant option.

4. If the wedding is before 6pm, a tuxedo can be adorned.

5. For a wedding which is formal, a dark colored suit is the best bet.

# OUTFITS FOR THE EVENING WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. Dressing for an evening wedding should be similar to the way we dress for a theatre or dinner.

2. An elegant and not so revealing cocktail number in black is an excellent option.

3. A dressy cocktail suit is also a safe bet.

4. Sequins and beads are to be avoided if the wedding is a formal one.

5. Darker colors would help present your self in a more sophisticated way.

For the 40+ men:-

1. For a semi-formal or casual wedding, slacks coupled with blazer and a matching tie can be sported.

2. Suits in dark colors are always accepted and most preferred.

# FOR THE FORMAL WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A gorgeous cocktail dress touching the floor.

For the 40+ men:-

1. The dress should be really formal.

2. Tuxedo is the best option for such an occasion.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR!

-Punctuality is vital. It is necessary to be present in the venue of the wedding at least fifteen minutes before the start of the ceremonies so that there is enough time to find a seat and settle down.

- Purity of the wedding has to be preserved. Guests should avoid clicking pictures. They should rather let the photographers do their task properly.

- Gifts need not be brought to the venue of the wedding. They can rather be delivered to the house of the couple anytime within one year from the date of wedding.

- In case of failure to make it to the wedding, the gift becomes an essential.

- Bringing uninvited guest is considered discourteous. Bringing is permitted only if it has been mentioned in the invite.

- Getting drunk at a wedding reception is disrespectful and offensive.

- Unwanted mingling with people you hardly know should also be avoided.
