Color Me Happy

Summer time makes us crave all things color, and vibrant shades are definitely making their way into wedding looks more and more. Monochromatic white wedding looks will always be a classic choice, but incorporating color into a bridal look is undoubtedly trending.

Whether you’re a bride who wants to go bold and wear head-to-toe color, or add some subtle bright elements, we’ve gathered 6 ways you can add color to your wedding look.

Printed Gowns

Floral bridal gowns have been trending for the very best reasons: they allow a bride to play with color while still feeling like a bride. Several designers are showcasing beautiful colorful prints this season, but we like to think nobody does floral gowns white like Monique Lhuillier.

Veils with Color

If a wedding gown with color is too bold for you, consider adding color to your veil instead! It’s a subtle way to liven up your bridal look and add a unique element that’s completely detachable. For most brides, your veil is only worn during your ceremony, which means you’ll have a whole majority of your day that is color-free. It also means that you’ll to beautiful looks represented in your wedding photos: with a pop of color and without.

Multicolored bouquet

White florals with lots of greenery accents have been a dominant trend for the past few seasons - one that we’re confident will never go away. But after several years of monochromatic whites, we’re not at all surprised that brides are currently playing with more color in their florals. Our favorites have a multitude of soft colors, less saturated for a subtle vibe, but not quite pastel. And as always, opt for florals in-season during your wedding to make your life easier :)

your colorful counterpoint

Let’s say you just can’t abandon the vision you’ve always imagined of yourself in all-white, consider having your fiance be your pop of color! If it aligns with their personality and personal style, consider suiting in a bold hue for your bride or groom. It will liven up your wedding photos and add that punch of personality that’s true to you both as a couple. There are endless options for executing this look, even as simple as a bold colored shirt or tie.

pop of color shoe

When done right, a pop of color shoe can be an incredibly clever way to add color and personality to your wedding look. A few things to consider: the shoe itssef has to be worthy of the statement. There are always very conspicuous knockoffs of designer styles that can look undoubtedly cheap: that’s not what we want. Find the best quality shoe you can within your budget, and just make sure that your overall look is balanced, and the shoes don’t draw the eye down to your feet. A delicate strappy citrus hue is fun for summer, and we’ve had brides sport an elegant emerald pump for winter weddings…the sky is the limit!

multicolored manicure

And finally, for the most subtle of statements, we love a colorful take on the classic French manicure for your big day! When you search for wedding day manicures on Pinterest, you’ll find an endless array of pale pinks and soft nudes - which we also love! But if you love color and want to express your personality, this playful manicure feels like the perfect touch.
