Coloured Wedding Dresses
Anything is possible when you commission a unique bespoke wedding dress, including making a coloured wedding dress.
Charlotte’s designs are modern, feminine and wildly romantic, and this often calls for some colour to be added to your wedding dress for extra depth.
If you decided to choose a coloured bespoke wedding dress, you would still get all the wonderful feelings that you would expect of a custom wedding dress, reflecting your unique personal style and story, and you would definitely look and feel like a beautiful bride.
Dresses from the Wilden London Made to Measure wedding dress collection can also be commissioned in a custom colour choice.
Coloured Wedding Dress Inspiration
We may find the perfect colour choice from my trusted silk mills, or custom colour choices can be created in several different ways, depending on the style of your dress, and the fabrics required to create it.
Many of my bespoke wedding dress designs feature custom embroidery, and it’s the perfect opportunity to add colour to your wedding dress.
Silk Crepe Satin and Chiffons are available in a range of colours. Sheer fabrics like silk chiffon and tulles can be blended with different shades to create a new colour. I often choose a vibrant silk base colour and soften it with paler colours tulle or sheer chiffon for subtle effect, or use contrasting colours that can be removed and revealed through the day for a dramatic evening bridal look to wow your guests.
All silk and natural fibres can be dyed professionally to create the perfect coloured wedding dress shade. It is possible to dye synthetic fibres too, though it’s a trickier process that doesn’t always guarantee results.
The Dyeing Process
I work with professional textile studio Nicola Killeen Textiles Artists in London to colour match and replicate beautiful chosen shades onto our fabrics to create the perfect coloured wedding dress.
Upon receiving a swatch, Nicola Killeen textile artists make recipes for several options and present the swatches that most closely match for approval. A dye recipe will have been made for each swatch, and recreated on a larger scale to dye the fabric for your custom coloured wedding dress.
With Nicola Killeen, I have also been able to create an ombre effect train for a pink wedding dress.
