I do love a bride who sticks to her style guns and shys away from tradition to wear colour for her big day! Ivory or white for the bride is so well established now, it is hard to believe that the tradition is but 173 years old – before Queen Victoria, white was not the conventional colour for a bride that it is today. So this post is for any bride who wants to scoff at convention, create their own tradition or show a little of their bright and brave personality by choosing  a wedding dress with a splash (or more) of colour……

Blush

(Blush Bride)

For the girly girly follow in Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Biel’s footsteps and go for a pink or blush wedding dress…..
