2. Ivory
An ivory wedding dress is so similar to a white gown that they can look nearly identical under certain lighting. In wedding symbolism, ivory has the same meaning as white and is used to demonstrate the purity and innocence of the bride. Ivory is also a popular choice for women who consider white to be too contrasting for their skin tone.

3. Silver
A silver wedding dress is another variation of a classic white wedding gown but with a little twist. From the early days, silver wedding dresses have been viewed as a symbol of refinement and prosperity. Thanks to its slightly futuristic look, a silver gown can also be a great choice for a modern, fashion-forward bride.

While a black wedding gown can look very unconventional in many parts of the world, it’s worth remembering that black wedding dresses are traditionally worn in several Catholic countries. Even if you are not Catholic but consider yourself to be daring and inventive, a black wedding gown should be right up your street – despite a popular belief, a black wedding gown does not symbolize anything negative.

5. Blue
Before white became the symbol of innocence and purity, blue was the colour that symbolized those things. So if you go for a blue wedding gown, your outfit will primarily get this idea across. However, blue is also the symbol of serenity, peace, loyalty, and confidence, not to mention that light blue looks fantastic on a darker complexion.
