And if, for the big day, we opt for a colored wedding dress? Despite the monopoly of the white dress, many young women are indeed choosing a pink, red or even yellow, sometimes even downright printed. Willingness to stand out or refusal to follow traditions considered old-fashioned, this decision finds more and more echo among designers of wedding dresses who now imagine dresses with strong and bright colors.

For the record, the colored wedding dress was de rigueur until the end of the nineteenth century, when the church imposed on the women who were holding an immaculate outfit, directly inspired by the dresses of communicants, before being gradually questioning. In other countries, the colored wedding dress remains a tradition that continues, especially in China where we marry in red, a shade associated with happiness.

Another emerging trend is the printed wedding dress seen here and there at the last Bridal Week. Bucolic, abstract or downright arty, these outfits of a new kind confirm this willingness of young women to shake up the traditions and put on a wedding dress that looks like them.
