"I chose red as I've always been a fan of alternative style and while a gorgeous white gown is a beloved classic for a reason, it just didn't feel right on me, she said. Inspired by the use of red in Asian weddings, Kitty, who lives in Leeds, UK, and works in software implementation, wanted a dress color that was loud."
"Anne from Sheffield in the UK has always liked colorful clothes and knew that her wedding dress was going to be the brightest thing she could imagine. While looking for inspiration she came across the La Chimere collection by Thierry Mugler and fell in love. I scoured charity shops for sparkly clothing I could cut up, and sewed thousands of scales together to make a corset, skirt and jacket, said the 47-year-old civil servant."
Search interest in nontraditional wedding dresses has surged, with Pinterest searches up 240% for unique dresses, blush pink up 60% and black up 50%. Some brides deliberately chose bold colors instead of white to reflect personal aesthetics or cultural influences. Kitty selected a red ASOS Design dress (Price: 110, about $149), adding a Carbickova crown and Holly Winter Couture veil, inspired by red in Asian bridal wear. Anne created a bright handmade gown (Source: Handmade, Price: 200, about $270), repurposing sparkly charity-shop finds into thousands of sewn scales for a corset, skirt and jacket.
