White might be the most traditional colour for your wedding gown but if you want to make an entrance, pink wedding dresses can be just as romantic - if not more. GLAMOUR found 19 stylish brides who tied the knot in every shade of pink. From palest blush through to shocking magenta, they all looked phenomenal.
At Camille Lescai's wedding last year she revealed a frothy one-shoulder tulle gown of dream proportions in the sweetest colour of candy pink. It was stunning. Somehow unconventional because of shade, yet still totally wedding-appropriate, we're fans. (Although some TikTok commenters were more than mean about the frou-frou frock, Camille had the perfect snap-back response to any haters.)
Camille's evening dress was similarly pink and just as joyful and once we'd noticed her pink predilection, we couldn't help seeing pink wedding dresses all over our feeds… and to be honest we're here for it! There is a shade of pink out there to suit every single skin tone and the warmth of the colour reflects back onto your face, giving you a healthy glow that's better than blusher. When you're being led by colour choice, you can then make the style of dress totally right for your own taste… whether you want a princess-worthy gown, slinky slip dress or fashion-led silhouette.
Although it's fair to say that brides who choose pink wedding dresses aren't necessarily the most shrinking of violets. We've spotted an array of pink gowns with super-sized skirts, layers of tulle, sequins, crystals, embroidery and a whole host of extra embellishment. Pink is made to be noticed. But equally, simple silhouettes and vintage feel dresses work with this poppy shade, too.
If you're going to choose a pink wedding dress, go big, go bold or go home. Shocking pink is such a happy shade, your guests will be grinning along with you. And did you know, being exposed to the colour pink has been proven to have a calming effect on us, mentally?
Peachy pinks feel more more classic than fuchsia yet less old fashioned than ballet pink tones. They are a brilliant wedding choice and look excellent at autumn ceremonies with golden light and grassy floral arrangements - or mixed with dramatic tones like gold, black or forest green.
Coral toned pinks are a great match for similarly strong shades. One up from pastel, if you're thinking about strength, this colour pairs with sky blue, grass green and sunshine yellow for a rainbow-inspired wedding palette.
Old rose pinks have a vintage feel and suit embroidery, lace and any old-fashioned details that could look less modern on an ivory shade. The pink gives the details a 2023 update.
Super pale blush or baby pink doesn't have to look saccharine. Add edge with your accessories, or show off visible boning on a corset bodice. This type of pink works excellently as a background for any bold details you want to incorporate into your dress.
