This October, with Halloween just around the corner, we’ve been thinking a lot about the allure of black and other beautifully unconventional coloured wedding dresses. Who says a bridal gown has to be white?

While traditionally associated with weddings, stark white wedding dresses can sometimes be a challenging colour to wear. For daytime ceremonies, bright sunlight can reflect off pure white fabric with such intensity that it can be difficult for guests to look directly at. This is why many brides opt for ivory, a softer hue that appears white in person but offers a more flattering and subtle glow.

However, unique choices beyond the traditional palette have always been a stunning option for brides. For years, we've seen black gowns, reds, champagnes, and delicate soft pinks grace aisles. Even celebrities have embraced coloured wedding dresses, proving that personal style can truly shine on your big day. Here’s a list of famous brides who opted for a splash of colour!
