Colors and shades of wedding dresses

The color scheme is divided into 3 main categories:

  • white and all its tones;
  • pastels, including powdery ones, that is, muted;
  • bright - red, black, purple - a bold decision suits girls with character and ambition.

An additional tone is selected for the main tone. It is important to take into account everything: eyes, hair, skin, even the character of the bride. So, bright yellow highlights the beauty of dark skin, but sandy in this case looks boring.

Powder colored bridesmaid dress

Muted pink-beige - delicate, but noble and restrained.

It goes well with smooth matte fabric. Cases, transformers, loose-fitting styles in powder tones look great without lace, embroidery, or any other decorations. A powder-colored wedding dress emphasizes its original cut.

Cream dress

A soft, light tone that can be combined with both shiny and matte textures. Cold - visually makes the figure thinner and slimmer. The intensity is selected taking into account the girl’s color type.

Blondes with light eyes are better off getting married in an ivory suit; green-eyed girls with dark curls choose a richer cream one.

A cream-colored wedding dress is combined with lace and transparent capes. You should not overuse accessories: such a choice in itself creates an expensive and sophisticated image.

Red dress

Luxurious deep red symbolizes love and life. In some countries it is considered traditional for brides' clothing. Its range is extremely rich. Red wedding dresses are chosen very carefully:

  • for girls of the winter type with white skin and bright hair, burgundy, ruby, and carmine are suitable;
  • the summer bride suits a cold tone: cinnabar, raspberry, cherry;
  • red “autumn” needs copper, wine or exotic terracotta;
  • A spring girl is recommended to choose a romantic tone: garnet, coral, scarlet.

Red is very bright. Only self-confident brides can afford it. No wonder movie stars love red so much. In the photo, such dresses are irresistible.

Black bridesmaid outfit

The most defiant and provocative option. In Slavic culture, black symbolizes mourning, and this choice for marriage is controversial. But black is extremely effective and sexy.

It can be easily combined with any texture and style, but is very demanding in the choice of accessories. Black wedding dresses are complemented with pearls, silver, white gold, and transparent stones. Volumetric bright jewelry is excluded.

Black is combined with smoky gray, cream, and silver. This model looks sleeker and more delicate.

The bride's black outfit limits the guests' choice of clothing. It must be notified in advance.

Blue dresses

The bride's traditional clothing should have something blue as a symbol of fidelity and romance. Usually this is a satin ribbon in a corset or a bow. Fashion designers suggest doing the opposite: choosing a sky or azure model with white ribbons as decoration. A very sophisticated option is a two-layer model with a base in a marine or blue tone and a top made of transparent white fabric with embroidery or lace.

Wedding dresses in blue and sky colors are suitable for a bride at both 20 and 40 years old.

Beige dresses

Close to white, equally neutral, this tone attracts with great expressiveness. They make classic models from beige fabric: long, curvy, with a train, A-line, mermaid. Beige is combined with white lace.

You need to choose pale beige wedding dresses according to the color type: “spring”, “summer” - cocoa with milk, and “autumn”, “spring” - ivory, pale beige.

Peach dress

Peach is suitable for a young bride. Delicate fresh tone, not as rich as pink, but much richer than beige. Models of different styles are sewn from peach silk, satin, organza, and guipure: short, long, loose Greek cut.

You can complement your clothes with the most fashionable, bright accessories: a lace umbrella, pearls, jewelry with complex patterns.

Blue dresses

Blue is very demanding. Thick, deep tone - indigo, sea wave, cobalt - is suitable only for girls with a bright appearance.

Delicate transparent skin and light eyes are absorbed by blue. No accessories are needed for this model.

Champagne outfits

The barely perceptible, silvery-golden hue gives not so much tone as shine. This model looks expensive even with the simplest cut. Clothing designers, however, prefer to combine champagne with silk and lace.

Milky dress

A variation of classic white, but warmer. For girls of the winter color type, models are selected in a bluish milky tone, while for those of the spring color type, models are chosen in a creamy tone. Milky, like any warm tone, is slightly plump. It is preferred by slender women.

Purple dresses

This very rich color is rarely chosen due to numerous superstitions. Purple is generous in undertones: bright blondes prefer lavender, romantic bright purple suits dark brunettes, and gray purple suits redheads; a combination of both is allowed.

Gold dresses

There are 2 options: golden fabric and gold. Dark or light gold silk is a sophisticated version of yellow. But the second option involves a base made of white, gray or light yellow fabric with a gold pattern or embroidery.

For embroidery or lace, metallic sparkling threads are used, so that the bride shines at the wedding. The outfit is very obliging: the groom and bridesmaid must correspond to the royal image.

A green dress

A rare tone, although its range is very rich: pistachio, khaki, emerald. An infrequent choice due to the peculiarity of green.

Juicy, bright colors - emerald, grassy - do not tolerate decorations. Smoky swamp and pale green allow for a fuller cut. The image is complemented with a bright bouquet.

Gray dresses

Gray has become fashionable in recent years. The range is varied, the tones are easy to choose. For “winter” they choose steel, pearl models, for “summer” - ashen, wet asphalt, “autumn” graphite is suitable. Girls of the spring color type should avoid gray.

The leader of 2022 is metallic. The brighter the sparkling fabric, the more chic the bride’s outfit.

Burgundy dress

Bordeaux option - the choice of brown-haired women, brunettes. It is not suitable for blondes or redheads. Bordeaux is combined with a classic cut: corsets, full skirts that emphasize the waist, A-line, mermaid style. The advantage of burgundy is that it hides fullness.

Coffee colored dress

This is, first of all, coffee with milk or cappuccino, since the bride’s outfit should still be light. The combination of coffee and white lace fabric looks luxurious. Brown is universal: it will suit girls of any color type and age.

Yellow dresses for weddings

A bright, cheerful color is a sign of a leader. The range is rich: lemon, pale yellow, golden. With such brightness, lush accessories are not needed.

A variant of yellow is orange. In Spain this is a common solution. The orange tone is set off by silver embroidery and decorations.

Lilac dresses

Delicate lilac is romantic. Looks very impressive in combination with a simple Greek cut. Condition: a wide, loose skirt or train, otherwise it is difficult to appreciate the subtle tints of lilac.

Mint dress

Mint is a “cool” version of green. It is not as rich as emerald and goes very well with transparent fabrics. Clothes in mint tones can be complemented with richer, brighter accessories. Another possibility: combination with other shades of green.

Dusty rose dress

One of the best wedding dresses in pastel rather than white. The tone is very light, softer than pink. The main thing is that it is combined with the latest fashion - white or gray lace. There are no age restrictions.

Lavender bridesmaid dress

The most subtle, elegant version of purple.

Lavender appears in outfits in the Provence style - sophisticated, sophisticated. The sleeves here are either very short or absent altogether. They are replaced by a lace cape or umbrella.

Turquoise dresses

Turquoise symbolizes happiness in eastern countries. Tones vary from sky blue to Tiffany. Pairs perfectly with white lace and transparent veil. Models are decorated with rhinestones, as turquoise emphasizes the shine of the stones.

Nude dress

A variant of beige, but deeper, closer to caramel or even bronze. The darker it is, the shinier the fabric can be. Dark nude models can literally sparkle. But since elegance is in fashion, stylists “dilute” sparkling caramel with gray, white and even orange.

Emerald dress

Emerald is very deep and complex. Created for brunettes with dark and light eyes. To wear an emerald model, a fair-haired girl must be very bright.

Emerald is demanding: it is duplicated in the accessories of the witness, the groom, and also in the decoration of the banquet.

Silver bridesmaid dress

The fashion for silver has re-emerged thanks to the interest in sparkling grey. Silver is a classic tone for a second wedding. But it will suit even the youngest bride, as it emphasizes the figure and looks wonderful with gray transparent fabric.

Nude dress

An interesting tone combining beige and pink. On the one hand, it is very extravagant: for example, a flesh-colored case with a transparent lace model is a real provocation. On the other hand, it is tender, juicy, emphasizing dark skin.

Fashionable colors in 2022

Fashion is cruel, but democratic. The bride has a wide choice of colors in 2022. Fashion designers offer color solutions:

  • Clean, snowy - always beyond competition. Minimalism in wedding decoration is a modern trend, and white is the best tone for a laconic look. But the outfit can be complemented with contrasting black, purple, and green.
  • Variations of white are also fashionable - powdery, milky, cream. Such outfits are decorated with lace, feathers, and colored ribbons.
  • Pastel colors - peach, pink, delicate beige. At the height of fashion are transparent fabrics, full skirts and trains. Airy fabrics in pastel colors create a charming, poetic image.
  • Bright colors - deep sea, emerald, red - are still in demand. This tone must be pure; it does not accept color additions.

Despite all fashion trends, wedding attire remains monochromatic. The only exception can be a model for an unusual celebration, where the bride, for example, wears traditional ethnic clothes. Such parties became fashionable last year.

Color type “Summer”

Appearance FeaturesDress color
The summer color type is characterized by cold and muted shades of appearance: light to dark brown hair with an ashy, bluish or pinkish tint (not reddish!) and a pink-bluish skin tone.The natural tenderness of this type is well set off by pastel grayish and milky shades (not snow-white!): champagne, soft beige, cool pink; grey-blue, mint, asphalt.

How to choose a dress according to your wedding style

The costume is selected according to the type of celebration.

  1. A classic wedding also implies a traditional style: a lush, A-line silhouette, with a symmetrical train, models in the Greek style.
  2. A holiday at sea also influences the choice of cut. Favorites: mermaid, empire style.
  3. For retro style, choose short styles with full skirts, as well as lace ones.
  4. The bride's outfit for a celebration in boho style is unusual: laced corsets, transparent fabrics.
  5. In nature, straight-cut or Tiffany-style models are preferable, without wide skirts, trains, or long veils.

The choice is also influenced by the season. For a summer holiday they choose light, airy clothes, for a winter holiday - from denser embroidered fabric, like taffeta or brocade.

Tips for choosing

Finding clothes for a formal ceremony is not easy. You need to devote some time to this:

  • It is recommended to choose a suit 2-3 weeks before painting. This should not be done long before the wedding, and 3 days before the celebration the choice will not be rational.
  • Buying an outfit or renting it is the bride’s decision. The price of dresses in wedding salons is high. And you can rent a similar model inexpensively.
  • Be sure to try on clothes with shoes and accessories. If this is possible, then the model should be viewed under different lighting conditions.
  • The outfit must be exactly the right size: it is worn only once.
  • From all the proposed models, several are selected. It is better to make the final choice among them after 1–2 days, when the impression of novelty disappears.

Modern fashion is good because it offers brides a huge choice. Traditions no longer stand in the way of self-expression. Girls who get married in a red, black, green dress evoke glances of admiration.

Ivory

This color is gaining popularity every day, because ivory dresses look exquisite on all girls. Those with fair skin should pay close attention to it. Unlike white, the ivory shade does not emphasize pallor, but, on the contrary, sets off light skin tone, emphasizing natural beauty. According to signs, an outfit of this color will bring happiness and prosperity to the young family; disagreements will never arise between the spouses.

Peach

A peach-colored wedding dress, like a white one, conveys the tenderness and innocence of its owner, symbolizing purity and innocence. Any style in this color looks original and chic. It has many shades - from pink to orange, so representatives of any color type . To create a peach-colored bride's dress, satin, silk, tulle, chiffon, and lace are used.

Cream

This is a richer ivory option that will be warmer as it has more yellowish color to it. Blondes with fair skin look amazing in a cream-colored wedding dress. This color plays in full force on elegant lace dresses, giving the owner a unique retro look.
