And if your fantasy has forever been to walk down the aisle in a pretty pink wedding dress - then that's precisely what you should do! Ignore convention, dismiss tradition, and wear something on your big day that makes you feel like you.

Post Barbie movie, pink has seen a massive spike in popularity, which has led to many more brides considering pink wedding gowns, of all styles. In honor of the movies' heroine, rather than a direct homage. Largely due to the modern approach the film took towards femininity, and in turn its realignment of how the color pink is viewed. Giving the hue a now unique sense of power, and rebelliousness. Something every bride should feel on their wedding day.

Designers and bridal brands have certainly embraced this recent appreciation for pink, and we've seen many double down on the inclusion of the hue in their collections. From romantic light pink ball gowns, through to dramatic fuchsia princess styles. There are so many unique pink wedding dress options available right now, and we want to help you find the perfect piece.

What is the Meaning Behind a Pink Wedding Dress?

Greens, reds, and blues were all worn up until 1840, when Queen Victoria wore white for her wedding, and subsequently began the trend for ditching color. Before that, the color you wore on your wedding day was supposed to hold a particular meaning. For example, blue signified purity and calmness, while red meant good fortune. But pink, was not a color worn by brides historically and therefore does not hold the same type of meaning.

But pink certainly has more modern meaning attached to it, and nowadays represents femininity, romance, and playfulness. Qualities most brides would certainly like to align themselves with.

Is it ok to Wear a Pink Bridal Gown?

If you're wondering whether it's ok to wear pink on your wedding day, it's probably because you're worried about being judged. Nervous about what your family and friends will think. And that is totally understandable. Choosing to wear a non-traditional, colored wedding dress is a bold choice, and you're going to need to feel confident on the day if you are to pull it off. But the same goes for any wedding dress.

You will be judged by everyone on your big day, regardless of what color wedding dress you pick. You're the bride. So why not wear a style, a color that represents you, and that gives you power. Make a bold choice that showcases your personality and potentially continues the theme of the day.

Don't feel bold enough to wear an entirely pink dress? Why not add a hint! A streak of blush pink on your skirt? Dark pink illusion sections on your bodice? Bring in touches of pink, and you'll create more of an ethereal look, rather than full of Barbie styling.

Blush Wedding Dress

In our opinion, blush is probably the chicest of pinks, and suits a modern, romantic celebration. One that embraces the boho aesthetic, with soft, pale pinks that highlight the elements you'd like to celebrate. This color works best in the Spring or Summer, as the hue compliments wonderfully the natural greens and golds of the sunny period. Plus, a light pastel tone works perfectly with the freshness of those seasons.

Brides with fair to medium skin look stunning in light pink wedding dresses, as the blush tone complements beautifully the lightness of skin tone. While those with darker skin will also look incredible in blush, as the softness of the pink hue will contrast so well with your rich coloring. Brunettes too benefit from the contrast between their deep, dark hair color and the lightness of the fabric. Creating a visually interesting, elegant and flattering look.

Wedding dresses in pale pink shades really work with any kind of wedding day theme. However, a vintage-inspired celebration really helps bring out the charm of a blush pink bridal. A floaty tulle number, for example, would look so modern and playful back dropped by a rustic, antique looking facade. Surrounded by lots of fresh greenery, contrasting natural blues and stone. That color really pops when set against an old brick building, or cobbled street, for example.

Paired with a simple, elegant headband and a lush bouquet of flowers, the bride’s look is effortlessly romantic and feminine. This dress is perfect for brides seeking a blend of classic elegance with a modern, playful twist, making it an ideal choice for both formal and outdoor ceremonies. The soft blush tone adds a unique touch, stepping away from traditional white while still maintaining a timeless appeal.

Pink and White Wedding Dress

Going full on pink, even a soft blush, is not for everyone. It is a bold move after all, and if you don't feel entirely comfortable in that color, you won't look your best on the special day. If you fall into that category, but would still like to bring in a touch of color to your white ensemble, why not add a pop of pink? It could be something subtle, like some delicate floral lace embroidery in shades of pink. Or maybe you'd prefer a statement train? Why not add a streak of rose running through your skirt? A colored layer underneath an ivory tulle, or delicate lace train will add dreamy dimension, and ensure you always leave a lasting impression!

Pink bows and sashes look stunning too and are great for adding extra femininity to your silhouette. Emphasizing your waist, and gifting curves to sleeker shapes such as sheaths. We'd suggest an a-line silhouette if you're going for a sash or belt, as the shape will help to create an eye-catching detail. While also emphasizing the smallest part of your body.

Dark Pink Wedding Dresses

If you're a bold bride hungry to make a design statement on your wedding day, a dark pink wedding dress would certainly do the trick. Whether it's an arresting fuchsia, a hot pink or a shocking polka dot.

Bolder, not-so soft pink fabrics look stunning on statement A-lines and big ballgowns. Luxe looking satins and shiny mikados offer an ultra-dramatic feel in bright pinks, and can add a modern twist to a timeless silhouette, or wedding theme. If you'd rather more of a sexy, seductive style, consider a mermaid. Its sleek and modern silhouette will dramatically hug your curves, while the flared skirt will bring playful theatrics to your every step.

Dark pink looks stunning on those with olive or darker skin tones, but you guys are lucky and can just about wear any color! However, those with lighter, cooler colored skin, also look incredible in dark pink. As the brightness of the pink will contrast so elegantly with your paler complexion. The color really complements brunettes and those with black hair because of the striking contrast.

This shade of colored wedding dress suits an evening celebration, or maybe somewhere with a hip hotel rooftop vibe. Something upscale, and luxurious that'll match the drama of the dress. Hot pinks and fuchsias in particular will look gorgeous lit up by the night sky, or under the sparkle of spotlights.
