Queen Victoria set the trend for white wedding dresses when she wore one for her own wedding in 1840. 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.

S Club 7 and Strictly Come Dancing star Rachel Stevens finally tied the knot with Alex Bourne in a Jewish ceremony on the 2nd August 2009. They married in the London’s fancy Claridge’s hotel with over 180 guests, although interestingly not one of her S Club co-stars was present. Here is our summary of her sumptuous outfit, along with how you can replicate the look for less!

What I love about Maggie Sottero is that they offer such a wide range of styles, to fit any budget. While other designers focus on the luxury market (that wonderful combo of rich and thin), Maggie gowns offer couture style to brides of all shapes, sizes and means.
The Maggie Sottero collection gowns are undeniably glamorous, with plenty of diamante embellishment, embroidery and ruched fabric. Or, if you are looking for something simpler, the Destinations collection is made up of slinky, streamlined designs ideal for a wedding by the pool, or on the beach. In the Sottero & Midgley collection, the brand has teamed up with designer Kelly Midgley to create a line of dresses that explore exquisite and contemporary fabrics.
The collections also offer more colour choices than most, with dresses available in champagne, ivory, gold, as well as subtle shades such as ‘blush’ and a silvery ‘oyster’.
Maggie Sottero is available at bridal stores throughout the world, and there is a handy store locator on their website.
