Breaking the Mold: Why a Coloured Wedding Dress Might Be Perfect for You
LOLA VARMA - Zelia Blouse in Red
White may be the tradition, but tradition was made to be reimagined. For the modern bride, walking down the aisle isn’t just about saying “I do”—it’s about doing it your way. At White Blossom Bridal, we celebrate individuality, confidence, and fearless fashion choices. If you’ve ever dreamed of wearing a coloured wedding dress, this is your sign: break the mold, and wear what makes your heart skip a beat.
White Is Not Your Only Option
The bridal world is evolving. While ivory and soft whites will always have their place, today’s brides are rewriting the rules with bold, unexpected choices. From dusky rose to moss green, champagne blush, and even black wedding dresses, coloured gowns are having a serious moment—and we are here for it.
We’re proud to stock designer collections that don’t just follow trends—they set them. Both Sophie et Voilà and Lola Varma offer some of their stunning silhouettes in a range of hues beyond white, giving you the chance to choose a gown that reflects your personal style and energy.

Meet the Designers Who Get It
Sophie et Voilà is known for their architectural lines and minimalist elegance. But what makes them even more exciting for the unconventional bride? Many of their gowns are available in shades beyond ivory—think soft greys, nude tones, and sandy beige. Understated yet distinct, these hues are perfect for brides who love clean lines but still want to stand out.
Lola Varma, meanwhile, offers a fresh take on bridal fashion that’s effortlessly cool. With a palette that includes muted creams, wheat, bone, and even textural variations that photograph like colour, her gowns offer subtle rebellion for the bride who wants something quietly different. And yes, some of Lola’s pieces can be made to order in darker tones, giving off those chic editorial vibes.
Enter the Era of the Black Wedding Dress
Let’s talk about the ultimate style statement: the black wedding dress. Equal parts timeless and daring, black is no longer just reserved for cocktail parties or red carpets. Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Christine Quinn have famously walked the aisle in black gowns, proving that elegance doesn’t have to be pale.
A black wedding gown is powerful, fashion-forward, and undeniably cool. It’s the choice for the bride who doesn’t do ordinary—who lives boldly, loves deeply, and dresses with intention. Whether it's a full noir gown, a sheer black overlay, or charcoal detailing, our team at White Blossom Bridal can help you find or custom-style a black wedding look that’s unapologetically you.
Why Choose a Coloured Wedding Dress?
Aside from the fashion-forward aesthetic, there are deeper reasons why a bride might choose a coloured gown:
It tells your story. Maybe ivory just doesn’t resonate with you. Maybe you want your gown to reflect your culture, your favourite season, or your love for bold expression.
It photographs beautifully. Coloured gowns can bring incredible depth and emotion to your wedding photos, especially in natural light.
It’s a forever piece. A coloured gown feels like a piece you could wear again—on an anniversary, at a gala, or styled down with a leather jacket for a post-wedding shoot.
It’s yours. It’s not about making a statement for the sake of it—it’s about wearing something that feels authentic to you.
Still Elegant. Still Bridal. Still You.

LOLA VARMA - Black Silk Wedding Dress
There’s a misconception that a coloured gown means giving up elegance or tradition. Not at all. Many of the alternative bridal gowns available from Sophie et Voilà and Lola Varma are designed with timeless silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and modern cuts—just reimagined in a fresh palette. It’s not about turning your back on tradition; it’s about owning it in your way.
Style It Bold
If you're going for a non-traditional wedding dress, lean into the look with confidence. We love to style coloured gowns with:
Minimalist accessories to let the tone of the gown speak volumes.
Bold veils—think black tulle, embroidered details, or coloured trims.
Statement shoes that play off the gown’s palette.
Moody bouquets to amplify your aesthetic (dark florals? Yes, please.)
Our stylists at White Blossom Bridal are experts in crafting looks that are as one-of-a-kind as you are. We’ll help you bring your bridal vision to life—whether that’s a jet black silk slip dress, a cool-girl camel-toned set, or something altogether different.
