In the press: White bridesmaid dresses?

Have you picked up your August copy of Perfect Wedding magazine?

You can find Cherry Topped on page 66 contributing to the Hot Topic column! We argued “Yes” to the question “Is it okay for bridesmaids to wear white?”

“If a bride wants her bridesmaids to wear white then why shouldn’t they? There’s an increasing amount of freedom and movement away from traditional rules in weddings today. The late Victorian tradition of bridesmaids wearing colour so as not to distract from the bride has been famously challenged by Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, as her sister, Pippa Middleton, walked down the aisle in a stunning white Alexander McQueen gown.

Even if you aren’t one to break tradition, then you could still dress your bridesmaids in white. There’s an old superstition that says the wedding party should all be in white because it confuses and wards off evil spirits so they can’t harm, the bride.

An entirely white wedding party, if done well, can look extremely elegant. If you want to have a hint of colour, then bring it in with accessories for your bridesmaids. If Catherine, and even Princess Diana, can have their bridesmaids wearing white, then so can you!”
