Alternative Dresses for Funky Brides

While many brides dream of a long, white princess-style gown, others want something a bit different. If you can't see yourself in the meringue, here are a few alternative styles that are perfect for a fun and funky bride.

Colorful gowns

There's no need to stick to white. Many bridal designers are including bold color choices in their collections. These gowns keep a bridal silhouette while moving away from white. Whether you go with a cool mint green or a deep, dark black gown, look for something that is flattering for your figure and skin tone.

Short dresses

Another way to stand out from the bridal crowd is to wear a shorter gown. A full short skirt can be a great choice for a summer wedding with a rock and roll twist. Pair this with bright red lipstick and a fun cardigan for a perfect rockabilly retro style.

Non-Bridal

Just because you're the bride, don't feel you have to go for a dress labelled as being for the bride. Try looking at bridesmaids and mother of the bride collections for fabulous gowns that are different from the usual bridal choices. You can find a style that is available in white or a neutral tone such as ivory, or go bold with a different color, too.
