twist on tradition

your wedding dress has to be white

THE NEW TWIST You don’t have to go all out—you could still wear a white or ivory dress—but don’t be afraid to add a pop of color with a sash, cardigan, pair of shoes or piece of jewelry. You could also do a light-colored skirt with a white or ivory overlay for a barely there hint of color. Feeling bold? Champagne, black, blush and pastel-hued dresses in mint, lavender or cornflower blue are on trend right now, adding an understated uniqueness to your ensemble. Or try a dress with a colorful print or pattern.

you have to wear a long white veil
