Which Is Your Favorite Bridal Color?

Ivory wedding lehengas are sure on the rage right now, but they aren't the only choice when it comes to modern bridal wear! More and more brides are choosing colors and patterns in wedding gowns to show their individuality and color-theme their wedding. Choosing a wedding gown in your color choice can add an extra dimension to your wedding look, with each color having a different significance that you might want to take into account when making your decision.

Blue:

Light blue is a calming and serene color, reflecting the color of the ocean and the sky, whereas deep and dark blues are sumptuous and give an appearance of quality and wealth. Electric and bright blues are dynamic and make a real statement, with the royal navy blue throbbing hearts of a million brides!

Yellow:

Yellow is an uplifting color that brings to mind the brightness of summer, flowers, and sunshine along with youthful optimism. For a more mature look, use golden yellows to create a glamorous atmosphere for your wedding. Yellow is a stimulating and creative color and is perfect for an energetic, outdoor summer wedding. Recent wedding trends pair yellow with grey for beautiful, understated wedding attire.

Green:

Green is the color of spring and new beginnings, more recently related to anything 'eco' themed. Great for an outdoor wedding, green is a tranquil, peaceful and refreshing tone, also a popular tone in pastel shades like pista green for bridesmaid's dresses, too.

Orange:

Orange is a strong, autumnal color, both bold and earthy depending on the tone. A warming hue of orange is becoming more popular in its muted shades, for example, peach or terracotta that adds subtle interest to your wedding outfit. Bright oranges are fun and flamboyant and are sure to ace on fire on your special day!

MAUVE:

Mauve has a regal history, gives a sense of luxury and elegance to your wedding attire. Use dark shades sparingly, to avoid overwhelming with a strong mauve tone. Lighter tones of mauve are uplifting and are often chosen by creative people with an edge to look different.

Red:

Red is traditionally the color of love, full of romance and warmth. The use of red for your wedding dress will make you the center of attention, either as a block color or used as an accent on a predominantly white dress. Dark reds and ruby red are a perfect choice for an intimate winter wedding.

Brown:

Tones of browns and beige are becoming more popular as wedding lehenga colors, especially when it comes to choosing a vintage themed attire. Brown is an earthy, traditional and organic color, a connotation of wholesomeness and stability. Vintage wedding gowns are often made in subtle, delicate tones of these colors and one can accessorize wonderfully with a designed combination of lace, pearls and wooden beads.

Black:

Don't be afraid of a black wedding dress! Black is a sophisticated and classic color for a dress, especially if you are having a clean-cut, contemporary wedding, or a black-tie affair. Black is a strong authoritative color and pairs excellently with white for a twist on the traditional.

You can experiment with colors while choosing your wedding attire in many ways:

Some wedding lehengas are all in one color, with detailing in lace, beadwork or different textures and structure.

You might want to stick to a white or pale wedding lehenga and use touches and accents of color in the form of a sash or buttons, shoes or a bolero.

Think about accessorizing with color, from shoes to headwear, jewelry or an umbrella!

Match your wedding outfit color to your groom, your bridesmaids, bouquet or even your venue's decor.

Why not go for a pattern or print rather than a single color?

Ombre shading is a very popular trend right now, as seen in wedding lehenga’s, which grows darker from top to bottom.

Find two colors which complement each other and work your wedding theme around them, perhaps one for your wedding dress and one for your groom!
