Colored wedding dresses are in

Think white is your only option on the big day? Think again! Plenty of today's modern brides are eschewing ecru in favor of colorful gowns - but, of course, ivory will always be in style. This season, brides have more choices than ever before.
Celebrities are all about doing things their own way (just take a look at their kids' names), and many are choosing to forget about white as they head to the altar. Crystal Harris, for example, will wear a pink gown when she weds 84-year-old Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner in June. Reese Witherspoon chose pink for her nuptials, too, wearing a cotton-candy dress as she walked down the aisle for the second time to wed Hollywood agent Jim Noth.
Wedding dresses come in all colors, from blue and red to purple, green, yellow and everything in between. For a traditional look with just a hint of rebellious spirit, pick blush, champagne or grey. For a more outrageous gown, go ahead and pick something bold and bright.
There's no limit to what you can do on your wedding day. Remember, it's your special day - and you can wear anything you want!
