Is Wearing Color the "new" White for Today's Bride?

Out with the old, in with the new...who says you have to wear white on your wedding day?  The days of just bridesmaids wearing "color" down the aisle is becoming obsolete.  For the upcoming 2012 wedding season, I've noticed that designers have designed dresses for brides in different colors, not just the traditional white.

It has been customary for a bride to wear white on her wedding day.  However, these days brides are choosing to wear what they want, whether it is white, bold colors (red, green gold), neutral colors (ivory or pink), or a short or long gown.  It is common for different cultures to wear different colors other than white on their wedding day, but not common for American culture.  "Old school" parents, grandparents, etc., may have a problem with their daughter and/or granddaughter wearing anything but white on her wedding day because it has always been tradition to wear white.

Vera Wang's 2012 Spring Collection offers bold colors for the "modern" bride.  Below are a few pictures of Vera Wang's 2012 bridal collection.  I love the bold colors.

These different colors will definitely have the bride stand out from the crowd and give guests something to talk about for years.

2011 Wedding Inspiration :: A Glimpse of Vera Wang's 2011 Spring & Fall Bridal Collection

Vera Wang is one of my personal favorite designers in the wedding industry.  I wanted to share her Spring and Fall 2011 Bridal Collection.  She creates beautiful shapes and textures out of tulle and chiffon.  Her wedding gowns are definitely far from conventional, but not too avant-garde as to make them too non-traditional and not wearable by a bride. 

Vera Wang's Spring 2011 Bridal collection (below) features her trademark silhouettes, but in whites and safe pastel colors and even some splash of gray for the not so traditional bride.

On the Chicago Style Weddings Blog, they said it best in describing Vera Wang's 2011 Fall Bridal Collection.  "Vera Wang wedding dresses are the epitome of modern femininity...and her Fall 2011 bridal collection is no exception."

Vera Wangs inspiration for this collection is "grace in motion making the bride feel ethereal both for her entrance and exit."  As you can see from the collection, she has gowns for the more traditional bride and for the brides looking for a less traditional look, she has some more beautiful gray gowns for the fall as well.  As you can see above in her Spring collection, she introduced the gray wedding gown which is simply gorgeous.  Below is her Fall 2011 bridal collection.

Two words to describe Vera Wang's 2011 Spring & Fall Bridal Collection...fabulous & elegant!
