After it rains, rainbows sometimes appear – making us feel inspired, joyful, and even special after seeing one. But why do rainbows evoke this feeling?

Seeing technicolour in the sky sparks hormones that corrects imbalances and creates a certain sense of tranquil sensation in the body. Now that you know the importance of colours, let’s dive a little bit deeper!

Adorning the right colour of wedding dress has the power to give your look an instant boost of radiance. The colour you wear also sends messages about your mood and personality. And this is important for your magnificent march-in moment at your wedding banquet, as well as the rest of the night while you mingle with your guests!

With you being the centre of attention the entire evening, you do want to ensure you’re in a wedding dress that brings out your unique personality and flatters your look! But with a myriad of dress colours available, how do you know which is the right one for you? Here’s a quick guide for you to easily nail the right colour that matches your unique personality and flatters your look.

When deciding what colour your wedding dress should be, the top two factors you must consider are your personality and skin tone.

First, consider your personality. The colour you choose to wear will send out messages that can be used to interpret your personality, so choose one that enhances your individuality, and also helps you to feel comfortable and confident.

Next, consider your skin tone. There are specific colours that compliment your skin tone, and other colours which are unflattering. Thus, choosing the right colour for your evening wedding gown is vital!

For fair skin tones, placid blues and blue-greens are especially flattering. Peach, coral, aqua and bright greens are also colours that work. However, avoid dark and dull colours – black and cream may also be too much of a contrast to your skin tone.

Medium skin tones work well with almost any colour, but brighter, deeper hues and jewel tones work best to flatter your look. Colours that provide a complementing contrast are mint blue, pink and metallic. Colours that are less ideal are browns, beiges and greys.

For dark or tanned skin, light yellow, pastel and peachy shades, bold colours like red or electric blue would be beautiful on you. But do stay away from browns and blacks.

Now, let’s quickly put these easy tips into practice! Maybe you’re a bride-to-be who has a medium skin tone. You’re more of a ‘bridechilla’ than a Bridezilla who is pretty easy-going, relaxed and cool about things. You’re also the caring type, and on your wedding day, you want nothing more than your guests to feel comfortable and happy. Well, considering your personality and skin tone, we think you might just look perfect in a mint-green wedding dress!

Now, go have fun choosing that perfect coloured wedding dress for your actual wedding!

While this is a really quick and useful guide, it isn’t comprehensive. Your choice of colour for your bridal gown is also dependent on many other factors in the planning process, such as your theme or venue.
