WEDDING TREND TUESDAY - DIP DYED WEDDING GOWNS

While most brides still opt for traditional shades of white and ivory for their wedding gowns, recently, more brides are choosing to express their individuality by adding a splash of color. While champagne and blush tones are becoming more popular, some brides are taking it one step further by adding color to the bottom of their gown.
