You could be mistaken for thinking that an LDS wedding gown dictates that every part of your wedding outfit should be white.
For brides who have grand ideas of a themed wedding with certain colors, or just enjoy a variety of different shades the LDS wedding can seem somewhat plain.
However there are in fact a few fun ways to get some extra colors into your outfit on your special day which we'll look at right here: First of all the good news! An LDS wedding can absolutely feature as many colors as you like! Some confusion may be due to the difference between the 'sealing ceremony' and the rest of your wedding day.
During the sealing ceremony within the temple you do need to be dressed in white and have a temple dress on or a wedding dress that's temple-ready.
The easiest thing to do is wear your temple clothes for the sealing ceremony which is a crucial, yet relatively short part of the day, and then change into your wedding dress later.
After the sealing ceremony there's likely to be plenty of time for pictures outside of the temple and this is when you can play around with color.
Your bridesmaids can wear different color dresses which can fit in with your theme, and although your wedding gown is going to be white, you can jazz up your pictures with a beautiful, colorful bouquet.
For instance, if your bridesmaids are wearing green and gold, you can match this with a bouquet featuring plenty of yellow and golden flowers! Also, don't forget that you can accessorize with a matching pair of shoes as well.
As long as you're outside of the temple you have a lot more freedom to try different colors! You could also choose to have a ring ceremony after the sealing ceremony.
This will give your family and friends an opportunity to be a part of proceedings (as some of them may not be able to go into the temple) and get some great pictures and video.
During your exchange of the rings you could not only have bridesmaids in outfits matched to your color theme, but the groom and groomsmen could also wear color-matched cravats, socks, ties or even cuff-links! By following these ideas you'll find that instead of being all in white in your wedding pictures, there will in fact be a large amount of the colors you have chosen as your theme! So if you're ready to start shopping for your wedding outfit, bridesmaids' dresses and colored accessories where should you be checking? A good option is to shop online.
It's here that you'll find the widest choice and lowest prices, so at least have a look!
