You might be a bride who doesn't always like to follow the rules...or do what's expected. Perhaps your dress is pink? Maybe you are riding away from your ceremony on a Harley? Or maybe you are foregoing cake all together for a krispy kreme pile up. If this sounds like you (or the type of bride you'd like to be), come on in..the water is fine.
Choose a Theme: This is the way that most couples today create a unique wedding that reflects their personalities. Think about what the two of you love to do together, or what you have a passion for.
Some brides (especially those who have already walked down the aisle once before) choose to forgo the traditional white or ivory wedding dress in favor of a more vibrant, unique hue. Wedding dresses can range from pale yellow to metallic hues of gold. Depending on which shade you choose, a wedding dress in one of these classic colors stands out for either a subtle or dramatic effect.
If you're the type of person who would rather be in jeans or sweatpants and the thought of having to get dressed up fills you with dread, go casual. Or, set a color scheme or theme as the dress code. For example, you could request that everyone wear at least one item that has pink in it. Tell the men that they have to wear the ugliest or most bizarre tie they can find, and tell all the women to wear a glittery scarf. You could even tell everyone they have to wear flip flops, sneakers, or sandals - no high heels or dress shoes allowed.
Brides on a budget who want a nontraditional wedding dress need look no further than the bridesmaids' section of local boutiques. Bridesmaids dresses come in a variety of sleek and sophisticated styles (both long and short), and in practically any color imaginable. The best part is they cost a fraction of the price of those traditional bridal gowns a few aisles over.
