Bridal Jewelry for the Colored Dress

A little bridal fashion history for you – back in the 1800’s, brides wore colored dresses. Some even wore black! Queen Victoria wore white in 1840, which set the standard, and by the 1890’s (with the arrival of department stores) most brides were wearing ivories and whites. But what’s wrong with a little (or a lot!) of color? It’s your day, you should wear whatever you love. Let’s talk accessories for colored gowns!






The purple gown is by Vera Wang. How gorgeous is this? I love the bouquet with it. I would put a large plain amethyst colored pendant necklace with this and nothing else. The blue dress is by Reem Acra. It has a thin rhinestone band along the waist. While I normally am not a huge fan of the matchy matchy, I think I would put a simple rhinestone headband with this. The gold dress is by Romona Keveza. An ivory pearl necklace and bracelet would set off the color nicely.
