IVORY

This timeless shade lends itself nicely to vintage inspired gowns, particularly in lace. Our Ariella wedding dress by Maggie Sottero is the epitome of vintage glam in this soft and romantic colorway.

DIAMOND WHITE

True white can be a difficult shade to match with skin tone (not to mention lighting for your bridal portraits). Our diamond white hue is softer than pure white against the skin, and is a universally flattering choice for when you make your wedding dress color selection.

LIGHT GOLD

Go for the gold with one of this season’s most popular wedding dress color trends. The glow of light gold makes it a richer colorway than standard ivory or champagne. Pair it with a style in satin sheen, such as our Ettia gown, for a hue that looks dazzling against all skin tones.

CHAMPAGNE

A champagne wedding dress is all about effortless sophistication. The color of the gown speaks for itself, a distinguished and elegant choice for your once-in-a-lifetime celebration!

WHITE

This pristine hue is best suited for organza or chiffon gowns, as these fabrics tend to be a bit more formal. Opt for embellishments, as embroidered lace and sparkling Swarovski crystals look stunning against this crisp colorway. Planning an outdoor wedding? A bright white gown also looks perfect against a beach sunset or candlelit garden.

ALABASTER

This rich and creamy shade is suitable for most skin colors. A velvety satin gown, such as Brennan, emphasizes the regal-ness of an alabaster tone. See more luxe satin ball gowns here.
