We are, of course, talking about coloured wedding dresses. With the alternative wedding marching its way into mainstream, wedding dresses are becoming less about the white and lacy, and more about the bride inside. They are the perfect place to show off your trademark character, so if you\u2019re not into white, why not splash some colour on your day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Designers are getting behind this trend too, with Vera Wang serving up a colourful collection and a lot of designers slipping a couple of blush or grey numbers in, or a flash of black here and there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Don\u2019t forget, couture designers can tailor-make your gown in any colour under the sun. So get creative! Here\u2019s my top five favourites\u2026 but the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Claire Pettibone<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I adore this Raven gown. Claire is well known for her intricate designs and floral embellishments, and I love the combination of layered dark-over-light fabrics and the addition of bright florals. A gorgeous way to incorporate florals into your dress.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10252924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10252924\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10252924 size-full\" title=\"Colourful Couture \u2013 coloured wedding dresses\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x.jpg\" alt=\"Colourful Couture \u2013 coloured wedding dresses\" width=\"800\" height=\"1143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-770x1100.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-500x714.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-293x419.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10252924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10252924 size-full\" title=\"Colourful Couture \u2013 coloured wedding dresses\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x.jpg\" alt=\"Colourful Couture \u2013 coloured wedding dresses\" width=\"800\" height=\"1143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-770x1100.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-500x714.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/raven-1-800x-293x419.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript> Claire Pettibone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Vera Wang<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vera Wang\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-collection-vera-wang-spring-2019\/\">Spring 2019 collection<\/a> was a vision in technicolour.
