Be colorful!
Times have changed and so has fashion. It may be your dream to walk down the aisle in a white wedding gown or maybe even an ivory wedding gown, but how about a soft pink? Pink is a very fashionable color this year for wedding gowns. Adding a hint of tint can make a subtle color statement. Check with your local wedding gown store to see what they have in the way of a soft pink selection.
If you chose to go with something other than traditional, make sure that you will be happy with this choice 5, 10, or even 40 years from now. I like to warn brides that fashion may be fun, but you need to look back on every detail of your day without regret. You are the only person that can make that choice, as you know what you will be okay with as you show your kids or grandkids the photos of your wedding day. So, if you are bold enough to wear something other than traditional, go for it.
