Immaculate white is no longer the dominant color for wedding dresses. While for decades women followed this sartorial tradition out of respect for their ancestors, they now aspire to more individuality. At a time when giant mozzarella balls replace tiered cakes and couples exchange vows in sweatpants, it's no surprise to see wedding dresses adorned in their warmest shades. And this year, the color is brown.<\/p>\n
Bridesmaids aren't the only ones allowed to wear color anymore. Brides-to-be are also choosing dyed dresses for the ceremony, elegantly breaking the all-white rule. In these catalogs, which give the impression of being Cinderella, they're setting their sights on dresses that were once forbidden<\/a> \u2014dresses our grandmothers wouldn't have dared wear for fear of being seen as rebellious or libertine.<\/p>\n While a few years ago brides incorporated color in small touches, through a rustic bouquet<\/a> , hair accessories, or the strap of a shoe, today they are no longer satisfied with just a few details. They seek dresses that are more true to their taste, that are exceptional, and that reflect their style. The white dress<\/a> and its cream variations are no longer the only choice for brides, who readily push the boundaries of the color wheel.<\/p>\n In these modern times, where women walk down the aisle in tailored trousers or glittery sneakers, dress codes are becoming more relaxed. Pinterest, a veritable treasure trove of inspiration, has noticed a particular fondness for the brown palette. One color keeps popping up in boards titled \u201cdream outfit for my wedding,\u201d and to everyone's surprise, it's not nude. It's chocolate brown, a deliciously rich shade that was also chosen as Pantone's color of the year. <\/p>\n\n
