Breaking Traditions - How Far is Too Far?

I hope everyone has recovered nicely from their turkey and leftover comas. I know I have. I hate to say this but I was almost ready and anxious to get back to work. I know I always hear myself saying that when I win the lotto I can't wait to not have to work anymore but I think I would probably die of boredom. Any how I am back from my lazy holiday sabbatical and will be back to blogging full swing.

I thought this was an interesting topic to start the week off.

Brides all around are breaking century’s long traditional bridal gown protocol. Now I have seen brides add a splash of color to their bridal gown attire, maybe a pink or blue sash, a pair of pink or red designer shoes, a colorful flower or barrette in their hair, but never have I seen a bride go completely against tradition and opt for a wedding dress color other than white or ivory.

Dresses of color are absolutely gorgeous of course, as is this pale blue one pictured to the right but is there another time and a place for that? I am truly a firm believer in “it is your day and you can do what you want” so who am I to judge?

I know I am not the most traditional bride and some traditions are meant to be broken (in which some of course will be broken at my wedding) but wearing white on my wedding day is one tradition I will clearly be sticking to!

That blue dress is beautiful but I think it is a good idea to stick with white/Ivory too!
