Wedding Attire: Modern or Traditional?

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!! Smiley love )

    I’m wearing an off white (I’m so pale, wearing white makes me look ghostly), but the non-traditional thing we’re doing is neither of us have any idea what the other is wearing.

    Absolutely no white at my wedding! I don't even want to see a speck of it, thank you! My dress will be black, perhaps a dark crimson, or a mix of the both.

    I like the tradition of wearing white but I see brides now a days wear a hint of color in theirs and that is cool too

    Mostly traditional. My dress is white and the detail reminds me of the sparkle in champagne.

    I'm wearing Ivory. I had thought about adding color to my dress. That is one thing I loved and really wanted. I found my dress! Smiley kiss I don't think the dress I got would look as nice if I added a layer of color. I'll be keeping it as-is.

    I'm wearing a soft white, sparkly princess dress. it's pretty traditional xD which is odd, since very little else about us and our engagement is traditional.

    Traditional, but my FH will be in a dark grey suit instead of a tux.

    I never wanted a white dress. I always pictured something like burgundy, burnt orange, or plumb. As I got older and am getting married to a slightly more traditional man I am going with the pastel version of a nice peachy blush color.
