Wedding Attire: Modern or Traditional?

Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

One of the first things you picture when someone says "wedding" is a bride in white! This tradition seems to be holding strong - we surveyed last year's couples, and 82% of them said at least one of them wore white on the wedding day. Are you sticking with the tried-and-true tradition of wearing white on the wedding day? Or are you wearing more modern and colorful attire? (Bring on the blush, blue, and lavender dresses!! )

Traditional. I was fine with wearing a colorful dress but the one I fell in love with is ivory so a standard wedding color.

Mine had a slight blush to it. I look awful in all white, I wasn't going to wear it. I looked great in a slight blush.

Mostly traditional as I really wanted a white dress but I have purple accent crystals and purple lace up back that makes it more modern

Modern, I hate white on me. My first gown was more traditional sine it was ivory & champagne. But my new gown is ivory and black and definitely not traditional. But I'm covered in tattoos, so even in a white gown I wouldn't look traditional.

Traditional? It's not completely white but it is pretty classic. I'm wearing Ivory beading over a nude dress.

Traditional: One of the reasons I did not like any dresses at David's Bridal most were not pure white, a lot of ivory, champagne nude, that could have white overlays. When we decided to go to smaller bridal boutiques with designer dresses, I refused to try anything on unless I knew it came in white.
