Pretty in Pink – Top 8 Celebrity Pink Wedding Dresses

The old (western) wives' tale: 

"Married in green, ashamed to be seen 
Married in grey, will go far away 
Married in red, wish yourself dead 
Married in blue, always be true 
Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow 
Married in black, wish yourself back 
Married in pink, of you he'll think 
Married in white, sure to go right."

Blue is the symbol for purity/virginity in wedding dresses, not white. White was originally the colour of mourning, not black, and later was used to flaunt how much money you had to waste on a white dress, that was too be used only once. To market it in later years, companies then started the whole "white is for purity" nonsense, to sell dresses.

Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.

It's true that blue is the historical traditional color for purity. Before you disbelieve the truth, you must right now research a little and look it up. Some people think white, but most actual scholars say blue. The white bridal gown trend was started by Queen Victoria. 

All kinds of misguided cultural connotations were added the idea of a white wedding gown, from 'rich' (can only wear it once) to 'poor' (couldn't afford dye), to 'virgin' (white is a 'pure' color). Basically, it was a trend that took on a life of its own, and now many people think white is simply a 'traditional' bridal color. But it's actually a relatively new 'tradition'. Only in this past century and a bit before has the white gown become THE color that most brides have.

That said, while there are 'rhymes' for different colored gowns, don't let some silly rhyme decide your future. 

Wear whatever color that YOU want, and what looks best on you. You can wear whatever you like. If you want to go with the standard white (always a popular choice), go for it. If you want to try something different (some us look terrible in white), you have every right to go for that too. Whatever suits your style, preference, taste, and appearance best. 

If you are curious about colored gowns, maybe you can add a few to the mix when you are trying on your bridal gowns. Pale pink, lavender, and blue are popular colored gown tints. Some people wear a white gown but add a sash or have a different colored bottom (like Gwen Stefani's pink gown). You may find that you prefer one over another. Or not. But have fun with it! Remember, YOU set the rules for what you want to wear. 

Pink isn’t just for a little girl’s room or for your bridal shower. Pink might be ultra feminine but it’s also gutsy and romantic too! Plan a pink wedding, everyone else is!

Gwen Stefani, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway – it seems like all the celebrities are already on board the train for a pink wedding dress. Let’s take it one step further to plan the ultimate pink wedding. Many brides shy away from pink being a prominent color in their wedding decor and planning because it seems alienating. Pink is still “for the girls” and brides are afraid their guys aren’t going to warm up to such a frothy and confectionary color. Hopefully though, your guy and your guy’s guys will understand that pink doesn’t just come in one shade of girly and outdated. Pink has many different faces and there’s one type of pink for everyone!

The many personalities of pink are not just in its shading but also in its uses. Blush is the second most popular color for wedding gowns and it can also be a big hit in wedding planning. Less than romantic or loud pinks, blush is understated and subtle. This means that blush can pair well with lots of colors. It can be paired with other pastels or muted tones to create a serene palette or it can be used to tone down bold colors. A great way to use blush is to use a touch of it like a magic wand. If you are wearing a blush colored gown coordinate with your man to have him add some blush to his vest or tie and you two will look like the perfect couple. Blush is also more sophisticated than other pinks so you need not worry about a childish factor. It will romantic and feminine like other shades of pink but it will also feel grown up and luxurious. If you don’t want to overcommit to pink runners and seat covers or even to a pink dress blush accents such as shoes or flowers are another simple and easy way to add the soft, romantic element that pink always brings to the table.
