Who says the bride has to wear white? Not us — or these A-listers. Plenty of stylish stars have opted to break with tradition, eschewing expected white for a rainbow of alternate shades. Considering a colorful dress for your big day? Here are nine of our fave nontraditional (read: hued) wedding gowns to try.
1. Chrissy Teigen: Supermodel Chrissy Teigen and singer John Legend’s 2013 wedding in Lake Como, Italy, was the stuff of, well, legends. After dinner the bride changed into her third Vera Wang gown, a ravishing red number from the designer’s Spring 2013 collection. All we can say is WOW.
2. Kaley Cuoco: When the Big Bang Theory starlet married Ryan Sweeting on NYE 2013, she opted for a custom pink Vera Wang tulle ball gown for the ceremony. Staying true to romantic hues, she changed into a shorter red dress for the reception.
Reese Witherspoon
The theme of Reese’s March 2011 wedding to CAA agent Jim Toth? Country-chic (after all, it was held at her estate in Ojai, California). The blushing bride looked lovely in her custom rose-hued Chantilly lace Monique Lhuillier gown. We can’t help but wonder if she may have been inspired by her famous Legally Blonde character, Elle Woods — at the very least, she would have approved. (Photo via People)
Jessica Biel
JT’s other half was pretty in pink at their destination wedding in Fasano, Italy, in October 2012. Her dreamy pink floral Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown is a perfect example of why it can be a pretty brilliant idea to break with tradition. (Photo via People)
