Blue Wedding Dresses

A bride is supposed to wear something blue to her wedding. So why can’t it be the dress? Many women are moving away from white and going for blue wedding dresses instead.

The biggest reason for this is that blue looks great on many women. So for women who decide that they don’t want a dress like everyone else’s, it is a logical choice. Another thing is that there are so many shades of blue that it is easy for women to find one that they like.

Very light blues are some of the most popular since a lot of women still want their wedding dress to be a light color. Baby blue and sky blue look light and pleasant, and add a lovely glow to any bride. Dark blues are dramatic and seem to charge their wearer with vitality. Light blues seem to be popular in the warm months and darker blues in cooler times of the year.

Blue wedding dresses have actually been very popular through history. Blue was a color that was difficult to make up until fairly recently, and so blue fabrics were generally reserved for nobility and the very wealthy. This made blue a very desirable color for wedding gowns.

Also, blue was a color associated with the Virgin Mary, so many women wanted to wear it on their special day. It was the color of purity, eternal love, and fidelity, making it a very powerful symbol. This is actually where the tradition of wearing “something blue” came from. Women felt that if they wore something blue their husbands would be forever faithful to them.

So, blue wedding dresses are actually very traditional if you go far enough back in history. There is a lot of symbolism to blue, and now that there are so many blue fabrics available, it is easy to see why women are gravitating toward this color again.

If you like the idea of your wedding gown being blue, you can look around at some specialty wedding stores. Blue is not as unusual as some other colors for wedding dresses, so you may find a selection of blue gowns at large dress stores as well.

Finding blue wedding dresses might be a little tricky, especially if you are looking for something in particular. If you find you are having trouble finding the perfect dress, try some different methods. Looking at blue evening gowns is one idea, or you can have your dress custom made. Looking for used wedding dresses is an idea many women have. Sometimes wedding dresses of different colors are sold after the wedding.

By wearing blue wedding dresses, brides show that they have their own ideas and are willing to do things that aren’t necessarily traditional. Blue is a fantastic and traditional color that you can wear if you love the symbolism and history it carries, or if you just like the color. It’s your big day; wear what you love!
