Your Maternity Wedding Dress Colors

As a modern bride, you're lucky that there are lots of wedding dress colors for you to choose from.

Stuffy old rules of wedding etiquette are being swept away. Of course, you may want to have a white maternity wedding dress ... but white is not the only choice for the modern pregnant bride!

Maternity wedding dress designers are showing beautiful maternity wedding gowns in other flattering colors ... they understand that modern maternity brides like you don't want to be dictated to.

And there's no longer that old social stigma of a bride marrying in any color other than white being "impure"! For modern brides, white has simply come to symbolise joy.

You'd think wanting a white maternity wedding dress was straightforward wouldn't you? But you can have ice white, off-white, bright white, natural white ... the list seems endless! Where should you start?

Your easy guide to white wedding dress colors and what suits who!

Off White

This shade is just a touch warmer than ice white and because of this, it's much more flattering to most pale skin tones.

Ice White

The brightest, clearest white you can imagine ... like newly fallen snow or chalk ... it can be very unforgiving if you have a pale complexion and simply stunning if you're blessed with dark or olive skin tones.

Champagne or 'Rum' White

This is a lovely warm white with gentle pink undertones that is very kind to most complexions, especially sallow or olive tones. If your skin tone is pink or you suffer from high color, you'd be better off with the creamy shades.

Ivory shades

Cover the full range of soft creamy and yellow undertones from just off-white to candlelight. Beautifully suited to the palest of skin tones ... avoid the ivory shades if your skin tone is sallow or olive.

Are you blessed with dark skin? Lucky you ... most of the shades of white will look fabulous on you!

What about Color?

There are no hard and fast rules about wedding dress colors anymore.

This fabulous Sparkle Maternity Dress comes in romantic cream (as shown), sensational purple and classy black.
