Do wedding dresses have to be white?

To put it simply, no, you do not have to wear white on your wedding day if you don't want to. And choosing not to wear white doesn't make you any less of a bride! Gone are the days when white was the only option for colored wedding dresses. Today's to-be-weds are breaking away from tradition and exploring a rainbow of wedding dress colors to make their big day even more special. "There's a tradition of wearing white that has been made popular through movies and television shows, but the color of your wedding dress has no bearing on the success of your marriage," says wedding planner Jove Meyer. "Wear what makes you feel fabulous—be it white, patterns, colors, long gown or short dresses." Your wedding is a chance to showcase your style and personality, and the right dress can do just that.
