Wedding Dress Colour

TraceyDucky · #1 Jan 23, 2007, 06:30 AM

I am getting married in a garden in Portugal, with a white house as a backdrop.
The wedding will take place in Mid March.
I have found the perfect dress but it comes in lots of colours.
I do not want to wear traditional white.
I have mousy brown hair, which will have red, gold & copper highlights.
I have slightly tanned skin and greeny-grey eyes.
I am a size 16.
Any suggestions on which colour I should wear?

Personally, if I had your coloring, I'd go with a green or a gold color. I think that white actually wouldn't be as flattering.

What time of year are you getting married? That may determine acceptable shades of each of the colors. Of course...it's YOUR wedding. You should wear whatever you like!

I was gonna say gold too, to be honest if you can go try them on its the only way your gonna know...

I think I agree, gold or maybe a turquoise colour, uhh, nothing really dark, no purples except lilacs , but its your wedding so dont let anyone talk you out of anything that yOU dont like

Green would bring out your eyes and compliment your hair. Throwing my two cents in. Whatever you wear will be beautiful. Best of all to you.
