I want my wedding dress to be a color
other than white. My mother, a traditionalist, is having a
fit about this. She’s footing the bill, so how can I
make her understand that times have changed?
Start by arming yourself with the facts. Tell your mom that
colorful dresses are a sizzling hot trend in bridalware (show
her great looks in ModernBride.com’s Dress Finder). In
addition to being quite fashionable, colorful dresses can
also be very meaningful. Yes, white represents purity, but
so does blue. All the other colors of the rainbow have their
own significance, too. For example, purple symbolizes spirituality
and yellow represents joy and happiness.
You may even be drawn to a color because it makes you feel
great, or it has something special to do with your relationship
with your fiancéé (it’s the color of the
shirt you wore when you first met, or the precise shade of
pink of the first roses he sent you). After you explain your
desire for color, offer to take your mom out dress-shopping
with you. She may need to see for herself just how beautiful
colorful wedding dresses are. When you find the right one
for you, she’s sure to be wowed by how radiant you look
in it.
