Wedding Dresses And Brides: Selecting A Silver Wedding Dress For Your Big Day


by Jannine Topolski

Silver is not an obvious choice as the color to pick for your wedding dress and it is still not a common choice amongst future brides, however it depends how you define a silver wedding dress. A very light grey might be thought of by some to be silver. Nevertheless it is still worth thinking about if you want a less traditional color but do not want to opt for a bright color.

A silver wedding dress can be considered an avant garde choice for first time brides since the usual choices go from white to very light cream and ecru.

Many other colors will also be used as an addition to the main color of white in order to blend against the color of the floral arrangement.

Why Choose A Silver Wedding Dress.

Obviously the main reason for choosing a silver wedding dress is that the bride prefers this color but there can be other reasons. The wedding motif may be silver i.e. the car, the floral arrangement, the bridesmaid’s outfits and the bride will want her dress to complement this scheme. Also the dress may be a family heirloom passed down from a previous generation.

Yet another reason why brides choose to wear a silver wedding dress is that they might be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary. The 25th year of marriage is the year that is considered the silver wedding anniversary of couples. Silver is the color for the celebration of the 25th year. Brides who wish to celebrate their 25th year by renewing their vows can wear a silver wedding dress, if they want.

There is a move towards brides seeking a degree of uniqueness to their weddings and therefore a move away from a traditional feel. Having a silver dress (or any color other than white) certainly is unique. Consider that silver can cause flashbacks when a photograph is taken as the fabric does tend to shine.

Just as the color black can make you look slimmer silver can make you appear heavier and this might be worth thinking about.

The grooms may not agree with the fact that the bride is the center of attention and a bride wearing a silver gown as they walk through the church will certainly get some attention.
