The traditional western wedding features a bride in a white wedding gown. While it is irrefutable that many brides look gorgeous in the traditional western design bleach white wedding gowns, such a stark contrast can not be achieved on women with a very fair skin complexion.
As a result, the traditional western white wedding gown makes very fair skinned women look pale and insignificant, hardly a desirable effect on one of the most important days in a woman’s life. The stark white wedding gowns do not work well for women with red hair either, as the contrast creates a visually off-putting effect.
One method of coping with this problem, for either very fair skinned women or women with red hair, is to use an ivory wedding dress. Every style of traditional western white wedding gown is also available in ivory colored fabric. Even if the exact design isn’t available in ivory colored fabric, there should be an equivalent design available.
