As the old saying goes, brides should have something blue at their wedding to encourage good luck.

Since then, brides all over the western world have donned snow white dresses to walk down the aisle. The daring ones may even wear ivory or cream. Wahey! What about brides who don’t want to wear white? You may think it doesn’t suit you, maybe you don’t feel the virginal colour is appropriate or perhaps you just want to be a little different.
You do not have to wear white if you don’t want to, though it’s best to discuss this with the priest if you’re having a religious ceremony. I have collected a range of dresses in every colour of the rainbow just for you.
