White gowns were never a thing until the 1840s when the then queen of United Kingdom Queen Victoria wore a lacy white gown during her wedding to Albert. White dresses on weddings became a massive hit from that day on.
Donning an all-white wedding dress is indeed a conventional custom, but who’s to decide what you should and shouldn’t do? After all, it’s your wedding, and you get to decide. There is simply no one-size-fits-all wedding..
If you do decide to ditch the old tradition of all-white wedding dresses, perhaps you could try dipping it in some dye or airbrushing it. Yeap, we’re being serious.
It gives the formal dress a colourful touch, and the train or hem of the dress wouldn’t get half as dirty from brushing across the ground. See, there’s even a practical reason to this idea.
We’d totally DIY this. What do you think? 😉
