We’ve seen them on celebs such as Gwen Stefani and Jessica Biel, and colored wedding dresses are slowly making their way down the aisles of mainstream weddings. Though less traditional than the classic white gown that’s been a bridal staple for centuries, colorful wedding dresses in pretty pastels and vibrant hues are a bold way to add a touch of romance or a whimsical presence to any big day. Elie Saab, Vera Wang and Oscar De La Renta are just a few designers jumping on this trend and creating absolutely stunning wedding gowns catered towards women with an array of style tastes.

Pink wedding dresses in a range of shades have been the most popular colored wedding dresses broadcast in the media. We’ve seen traditional white morph over time into ivory, and now peachy pinks and rosy pastels are making an entrance and giving new meaning to the term “blushing bride.” Perhaps the most amorous colorful wedding gown in the mix, pink bridal dresses exude a romantic charm unlike any other color.

From dark pewter to the faintest ashen color, wearing a gray gown is a chic way to add a dash of color, while still sticking to a neutral color palette. Add pops of color by embellishing with a bright sash or a sprightly bouquet of colorful flowers.
