So, what's the number one question that brides continue to ask? - "Can you Dye your wedding dress?"
Here's our answer, "it's definitely possible."
Brides are now looking for different ways to personalize any or all parts of their wedding that are in accordance with their styles, personalities, and swagger.
It's not about the cookie-cutter look anymore. It's about an expression of one's self.
Brides are running the gamut as to where their wedding colors should be. So, instead of just adding their color(s) to only the ceremony/reception (inside, possible outside), brides are now looking to add their wedding color(s) to their dresses.
Here's the caveat to this, it all depends on the fabric of the dress and the embellishments of the specific gown. For instance, silk will stand up to dying while satin, polyesters, and lace are less permeable, they will not take the color. Therefore, choose a dress that will accomplish what you are aiming for.
4 Things To Keep In Mind:
1. Do not attempt to do it yourselves
2. Make sure you dry clean your dress before proceeding. Stains will affect the dying process and might even be emphasized in another color
3. Check with the boutique you purchased your dress to see if they offer this option. Or, see if they can give you referrals.
4. Bear in mind that any beading or embellishment on your dress will remain white when dyed, so don't go ahead with it unless you want the contrasting look!
