Silver Wedding Dresses - Are They Right For You

Silver is not an obvious choice as the color to pick for your wedding dress and it is still not a common choice amongst future brides, however it depends how you define a silver wedding dress. A very light grey might be thought of by some to be silver. Nevertheless it is still worth thinking about if you want a less traditional color but do not want to opt for a bright color.

A silver wedding dress can be considered an avant garde choice for first time brides since the usual choices go from white to very light cream and ecru.

Other colors may be utilized to accent white gowns to complement the floral colors and the bridesmaid outfits.

Why Choose A Silver Wedding Dress.

Obviously the main reason for choosing a silver wedding dress is that the bride prefers this color but there can be other reasons. The wedding motif may be silver i.e. the car, the floral arrangement, the bridesmaid’s outfits and the bride will want her dress to complement this scheme. Also the dress may be a family heirloom passed down from a previous generation.

It is becoming quite common these days for couples to renew their wedding vows after reaching a specific amount of years as a married couple. Silver denotes the 25th wedding anniversary and therefore seems a logical color to use for the dress to renew ones vows in.

There is a move towards brides seeking a degree of uniqueness to their weddings and therefore a move away from a traditional feel. Having a silver dress (or any color other than white) certainly is unique. Consider that silver can cause flashbacks when a photograph is taken as the fabric does tend to shine.

Just as the color black can make you look slimmer silver can make you appear heavier and this might be worth thinking about.

Although grooms may disagree the bride is the center of attention and wearing a silver dress as they walk down the aisle will certainly bring this.
