Blue dress: 13 photos of brides that will make you sigh

If the subject is a wedding dress, white naturally emerges as the main color. But, truth be told, white was not always unanimous. In the Middle Ages, what mattered was not the color, but how luxurious the dress was. Since weddings were seen as a way of making commercial alliances, the piece worn by the bride represented the family’s possessions. During the Renaissance period, black was the color most chosen by brides, as it represented religiosity and obedience to the Church.

The popularization of white came after the marriage of Queen Victoria of England to Prince Albert in the 19th century. Victoria walked down the aisle wearing a long white hand-made lace dress. Inspired by the romantic history – Victoria was the first noblewoman to marry for love – women around the world have used the monarch’s dress as inspiration. Since then, white reigns supreme. Or rather reigned.

To the delight of the most daring brides, other tones have gained space in the collections of great designers, reducing the hegemony of white in bridal fashion.

The blue wedding dress is not exactly a novelty among American brides. This is because many brides have decided to take the tradition of always carrying a blue object or accessory to another level. And what started as a discreet movement has been gaining the world through the power of Pinterest and Instagram.

For those who want to join the trend, the most popular models are in shades of sky blue, in light and fluid fabrics, with delicate gemstone embroidery. Perfect options for those who want to compose a princess-style look.

In outdoor daytime ceremonies, printed models are also interesting alternatives to create a surprising look. Models with a “stained” effect, in gradient or florals are on the rise.
