Move over ivory and white, 2013 has a new trend for wedding dresses this year and they are coming up in a whole new shade from the color spectrum! That’s right. Colored wedding dresses are a new trend for 2013 blushing bride or maybe it is a bride in blush.
Colored wedding dresses aren’t a new phenomenon. In fact, wedding dresses in Victorian England were a pale blue to represent fertility of the couple! I’m uncertain when the shift to white, ivory and cream came about but from recent celebrity weddings to the 2013 spring fashion lines, it seems there is a shift back.
The colors this year focus around pinks, reds and blues. Famous designer, Oscar de la Renta, offers reds and “something blue” gowns while Vera Wang offers an ALL red collection for 2013.
Last fall, actresses Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel walked down the aisle in stunning pink designer gowns from Giambattista Valli (Biel) and Valentino (Hathaway).
I am very excited to see what 2013 has to offer!
