For many brides, envisioning their wedding gowns means a gown within the brightest of white or richest of ivory. But if you are looking at gowns and feeling just like a white hue isn’t your look, think about a gown with a few colors. At Brides, we like pastel wedding gowns for this occasion because they’re an ideal mix of light bridal with bold color.

While it could seem strange searching for a dress that isn’t traditionally white, you need to know that there are endless pastel dress options available. From dramatic ballgowns to chic slips, there is a pastel hue for each style and wedding color palette. Even better? Pastel wedding gowns are extremely versatile—and since a number of them aren’t blatantly bridal—you could possibly wear them again as casual wedding dresses.

Whether you would like something casual and colored or something like that bridal having a hint of pastel, we’ve got you covered.
