Purple wedding dress?

[Little Minx]

I keep hearing how coloured dresses are increasing in popularity and how the sky's the limit for future brides. I'm marrying in Bourneville next year and would love to wear a Cadbury purple gown, but do you think I can find one?? It's true my budget is more off-the-peg than couture but you'd think I'd see at least a couple around? Does anyone know how I can get the dress of my dreams without paying thousands??

Why not browse for dresses that come under the category of bridesmaids dresses. Many of them are as lavish as wedding dresses, and that way you get more choice of colours. Someone else on here posted about wanting a coloured dress and ended up with one that was officially a bridesmaids dress - for much cheaper as well.

Failing that why not get one made and you can purchase the exact colour material that you want.

Some of the 'gothic style' dress makers use that colour purple! its a lovely colour

Yeah I would advise trying a gothic site, I looked on a few aaages ago they are very theatrical looking - fab

Hiya i was looking at a photographers wedding portfolio the other day and a bride was wearing a fab purple dress and veil. It seemed to have a tinge of blue to it. It looked really nice and was so different.

There are not really many purple wedding dresses about - you can get ivory/puprle but if you are talking about the cheaper end of the market i would advise going for a bm dress this way you will have a bigger choice.
