Brides are choosing to inject color in beautiful new ways to personalize their weddings. In an interview with Town and Country Weddings, Sofia Crokos, celebrity wedding planner, suggests that many brides are becoming more adventurous with their color choices and are selecting bold colors as an alternative to traditional white and ivory. The knot also recently highlighted an array of gorgeous colors appearing on Bridal Runway Shows.
Although not every bride-to-be will select a bold color for her wedding gown, there are a number of pre-wedding and wedding weekend events in which she can introduce a stylish neutral, Soft Blush, Ice Blue or Chic Matte Metallic hue into her wedding palette. Matte metallics and neutrals especially, from Pearl to Champagne to Platinum offer flawless choices that make capturing picture perfect memories from the engagement announcement to the wedding weekend effortless. Whether your preference is a modern shift dress, a sophisticated sheath or a feminine fit and flare, a beautiful neutral instantly emanates elegance. Pair with a modern kitten heel for Bridal Shower Brunches and Bridesmaid Luncheons or with a stylish stiletto for an Engagement Party, Rehearsal Dinner or Wedding Reception.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
