Many brides would need to be fairly confident to choose a colored gown. They are bold & dramatic statements. Pale blues & pinks are common at the moment & suit brides who don’t want to go the whole hog & appear in a scarlet red gown. Red gowns, however, have been around for a while & come in all shades, from bright scarlet to rich & luxurious burgundy, they are popular with second time around brides & those who don’t want a tradtional white or ivory dress. If you have a naturally bright & vibrant personality a bold colored gown would suit you perfectly.
