Some brides are ditching pristine white and are daring to be different with bold colour choices.
While brides traditionally wear white, today there is a rainbow of colours to choose from – with popular hues including blush and nude.
Michele Pennisi, from Michele’s Bridal and Formal Wear in Shepparton, said she has helped brides that are considering deviating from the white tradition.
She helps them to weigh up the pros and cons of a non-white shade – including fake tans leaving obvious marks on a crisp white.
Taking it up a notch again, Mrs Pennisi said some brides have opted for navy blue, purple and black dresses.
“I just think its personal taste,” she said.
“It really just depends on how much research they (the bride) have done and if they have fallen in love with it.”
Brides wanting to add a less obvious personal touch have plenty of options, like incorporating a splash of colour into a gown.
“We have added coloured tulle underneath, coloured lace ups, and coloured beading in the detail,” Michelle said.
“They are little, more subtle ways to add a bit of colour to make it (the dress) their own.”
