Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. It’s easy to spot the bride at any wedding: the one donning all white, an epitome of ethereal beauty. But who says you can’t have a splash of colour for your wedding gown and still be the belle of the ball? Here are 20 lovely colours to consider that will definitely give your wedding dress a touch of novelty and elegance.
1. Ivory

Starting with an off-white shade, ivory has a slight tinge of yellow and is a classy and luxurious colour to experiment with. Some may confuse ivory and white, but an ivory coloured gown is creamier than pure white gowns, giving it a fuller and richer feeling.
2. Lilac
