Every culture has different concepts about wedding dresses. Many consider it very important to observe the traditions. In the western world, brides love to wear white wedding gowns. However, modern brides are moving towards latest fashion trends. They don’t want to wear cultural wedding gowns.

For the modern bride there are choices our grandmas could only dare to dream of let alone actually speak of. For instance, the idea of a red wedding dress is now more than just an idea, it’s a reality. The wedding of style, class and color is becoming more and more popular. In keeping with the times, the bride can choose to wear whatever color she wants and not have to feel one bit embarrassed about it. Instead she can walk down the aisle with pride and dignity, wearing her femininity literally on her sleeve.

ATTENTION BRIDES! It is time to throw out those boring, traditional gowns, and give your wedding a little flair!





Anyone can wear a white, standard cut wedding dress. But if you are looking for something that will make you stand out and look beautiful, there is a better way to go…a more colorful way!

Every bride dreams of her perfect wedding; the peaceful location, the soft music as she walks down the aisle, the smiling faces of family and friends, and the look of love in her future spouse’s eyes. But one of the biggest factors to the perfect wedding is the perfect dress, and women will spend thousands of dollars making that dream come true.

Wedding Dress Fantasy understands how important having the right gown can be. But they also know that one style does not fit all! Why settle for a plain, boring dress that doesn’t incorporate the flair of personality as wild, elegant or intense as you? Why would you buy something that isn’t exactly what you want, for a day that will forever live on in your memory as the happiest and most important of your life?

It is this that is always at the forefront of every dress design. Their head designer Tova, with their expert and friendly staff, are dedicated to creating fashions that range from classic to modern, and in any color you could possibly imagine. From coral to gold, crimson to powder blue, or even red and black, you can get anything your heart desires from Wedding Dress Fantasy.

This versatility won them the 2010 FAVORITE BRIDAL STORE award from 201 Magazine! But it all started not with designs, but with a concept.

They Wanted To Be Different

Attending all the major bridal shows, we’ve seen so many wedding dresses over the years and they all had a common theme, White and Ivory colors” says Tova. The silhouettes were beautiful - strapless, mermaid cut, plunging necklines, modest square necks; but they started to all look the same. What made it worse for many brides was that most designers wouldn’t consider providing a color more exciting than off-white.

“After speaking with dozens of women who were on the hunt for their ideal gown, we learned that it was not only us who felt this was limiting” says Tova.

There was a whole market out there for unique, colorful wedding dresses that could be adapted to meet both classic and modern day styles for any bride!

Make your wedding day colorful!

The colors a bride has to choose from are nearly limitless. Finding the right color to truly enhance her natural skin tone, hair color, figure and height can be a lot of fun. Often times a bride wants to consider what a color’s meaning may be as well. Here are a few considerations.


RED is of course the color of love! It’s also representative of fiery heat, increases interest and enthusiasm, warmth and of course passion. What a fitting color for any wedding! PINK can be for quiet love, romance and even excitement. It’s an interesting combination as well as a good choice for the bride, who wants to be a bit softer in her statement, yet still create a sensational entrance. YELLOW means joy, happiness, optimism and hope. This is a fantastic color for a second wedding as well as for the bride whose personal coloring shines with such a vibrant color.

There are hues of BLUES that have many meanings, such as peace, unity, trust, loyalty and even sophistication. Then there’s PURPLE or LAVENDER meaning ceremony, femininity, grace, elegance and spirituality. GREEN is good luck and renewal. All these colors are simply perfect for the bride who wants to fully enjoy the intensity of her very special day. What a true blessing that society no longer dictates how a bride expresses her love for her man. With an open, sincere, joyous public display that’s just as tasteful as the traditional expectations of yesteryear.

When it comes to wedding dress fashion, the choices are only limited by imagination. The days of limitations are long gone and the excitement of planning a wedding has reached new heights. The most important decision for the bride (after choosing her man, of course!) is deciding on the perfect wedding dress to express her love and desire. For so many decades, custom called for white. Representing purity, it was the only color choice allowed by society. In keeping with “something old, something new, something borrowed”, blue was acceptable. What about the color of love and desire?


Back then, a red wedding dress would have been absolutely unacceptable. The bride would surely be subjected to social out casting if she dared to openly express her womanly wiles. Well, what better day than to entice her man with a promise of exquisite passions than on her wedding day? Now any color wedding dress is more than acceptable and this wonderful change opens new doors that our grandmothers could only secretly wish for!


There have been some interesting traditions beyond custom demanding a bride wear a white dress. For instance a bride was once expected to do what was called “Collecting”. She would go door to door with a bag (such as a pillow case) and collect pre-wedding gifts. Possibly a precursor to what we now call a wedding shower. If she didn’t follow this tradition, she could actually be considered snobbish in some circles. Try going door to door demanding wedding gifts now! Neighbors may not appreciate such a bold move. How interesting that a red wedding dress could be considered bold, but collecting gifts door to door was not!


Then there was another custom that many wouldn’t even consider in modern times. It was called “Flouncing”. There was a party of sorts that was held with family and friends present. Not an unusual gathering of course, but its purpose was another thing all together! This “party” was held to establish a “formal” contract. Meaning, if either the future bride or groom were to change their mind before the big day, the other could actually demand half the offending person’s property. Now try that these days and see how well that holds up!


Any way one looks at it, there’s no question that some traditions are better left behind. The idea that a bride has to be limited is just ridiculous. It’s HER day and now she gets to have it HER way! So whether it’s a red wedding dress or a wedding dress that showcases all the colors of the rainbow, society won’t frown or ridicule. Instead she can bask in the glory of her man’s adoration and the envy of the guests lucky enough to be there for her special day.
