Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses
A traditional wedding dress for the bride usually looks like an elegant gown, the color - a decent shade of white, the design - a little frilly, a white tiara, a gorgeous white veil and all other accessories are chosen to suit them. However, some like to break the rules and play it differently. Why shouldn't they? After all, it's their wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the bride and the groom. This day is special and they have the complete rights to decide how everything has to be. So, why not begin with the wedding dress?
The two things that are almost common in all the wedding dresses are, the style and the color. Most brides prefer well fitting gowns that feature a fitted bodice and a flared-up skirt-like structure, below the waistline. Whereas, the color ranges within shades of white and pink. If you want your wedding dress to be non-conventional, you can mix and match various styles and colors to make a wedding dress that defines your style. Also, if your wedding party is themed, you would want your wedding dress to be designed according to it.
