Colourful Wedding Dresses, worn by Real Brides – Wedding Dress Trend 2013
Just like every year on the bridal catwalks, there are trends we love and that completely take our breath away, but at the same time there are bridal trends which we just can’t see translating to the aisle. One in particular is the colourful wedding dress. We’re just not convinced a bride will give up her one day to wear a big white (or off-white) wedding dress! So today we decided to take a look at some of the brides who dared to not wear white, and who set the trend for others to go against the norm. From gold to green to grey, these ladies made a statement on their wedding day, without compromising style or their moment in the spotlight.
