Today's bride isn't afraid to wear a little color on her wedding day. The seemingly archaic all-white motif is long over, making way for a smörgåsbord of colors that can be incorporated into all aspects of your wedding. Bridal Gown store Alfred Angelo, located in South Austin, couldn't agree more.
“We're seeing more and more brides coming in and buying bridesmaids dresses, instead of the white or off-white bridal gowns,” said an Alfred Angelo's Bridal Specialist, who was a bride-to-be herself. “I think since Austin is so fashion forward, our brides aren't afraid to show, well, their true colors.”
Alfred Angelo carries a number of colors – 55 to be exact, including burnt orange, a favorite for University of Texas at Austin Longhorns.
The Bridal Specialists at Austin's Alfred Angelo say that the Austin locations seem to sell the widest variety of colored gowns, as well.
“We look at colors sold,” said the Bridal Specialist. “Austin is always one of the top markets, probably because it is really conscious of bridal trends, or making trends!”
The trend of colored weddings gowns is not a new one, although it is becoming increasing popular again. White weddings gowns didn't gain popularity until around 1840, thanks to Queen Victoria. Prior to Queen Victoria's stunning off-white, lace number, dresses came in almost all colors except for black (the color of mourning) and red (which was traditionally connected to prostitutes). In Eastern cultures, red gowns have always been extremely popular, signifying auspiciousness and good luck.
Regardless of your reasons, a bridal gown is your way of expressing your personality. When it comes to your special day, all that matters is that you're happy. What better way to do that than with a splash of color.
