Punk Wedding Dresses
From LoveToKnow Weddings
If you are interested in taking a cue from punk wedding dresses and adding a fun and original spin to your big day, it can be easier than you may think.
What Are Punk Wedding Dresses?
Many falsely associate the punk rock style with grunge or a general sloppiness. In fact, punk fashion can be very glamorous – with an innovative fashion twist to boot. So before your mother cries at the mere mention of your wedding day plans, share your ideas with her, and you may find her not only wanting to go with you to browse through punk dresses, but attempting to find a punk mom dress for herself.
Unconventional
The beautiful thing about the punk style is it can really be anything you want it to be. Customarily, punk bridal gowns involve splashes of color not normally found on a more conventional blushing bride. From hot pink sashes to varying lengths of layers, a bride going for the punk style will truly live it up when it comes to her wedding apparel.
Original and Cutting Edge
Punk wedding dresses may also include corsets, creative sleeves, and a sharp contrast of bright colors on black, rather than the typical white. An online bridal boutique such as Bridal Originals provides the perfect gallery to show just how varying punk wedding gowns can be, while all are still within the genre of originality and cutting edge design.
Punk Ideas for Wedding Dresses
Are you still at a loss as to what to do in regards to “punking out” your wedding ensemble? Check out the book Offbeat Bride, which features plenty of unconventional wedding gown ideas, as well as other ceremony and reception ideas that will keep your special day outside of the box.
Creative Colors and Daring Details
A couple recently featured online used chartreuse as a primary wedding hue, and not only was this the main color of the bridal gown, but the groom’s corsage and the father of the bride’s tie were in perfect coordination. A chartreuse punk dress, or any other color you choose, doesn’t have to be one solid color. Play it up with a fun plaid trim or lace underskirt, or pair your dress with a bright red pair of heels. There is a big difference between matching and coordination, and when it comes to punk wedding dresses, stylish girls opt for the latter.
Celebrity Punk Wedding Gowns
Rockstar Bride is a new website that gives advice to those hoping for a punk wedding, including the perfect dress. It shows examples of past punk celebrity weddings, including Gwen Stefani’s gorgeous dress that was white on top, only to cascade into baby pink and end in fuchsia. Speaking of pink, the rockstar by the same name had a truly personal style on her wedding day. When she got married in Costa Rica, Pink chose a vintage style dress with plenty of ruffled layers, a bold black sash, and a low-cut halter bustier.
Where to Buy
Wai Ching has a gorgeous, original style that simply cannot be duplicated. From fun colors to creative cuts and designs, this is one of the premier punk wedding dress retailers with dresses that will make you drool.
You also may want to check out the various vintage stores or districts in your city that sport unconventional styles. However, the best way to purchase a punk wedding dress is to hire a custom dress designer. You can find one online, in your local yellow pages, or by asking around. If you can’t afford to hire a dress designer to make one from scratch, purchase a traditionally white gown and then alter it with your own cuts and embellishments. Creative friends and family members are great in helping with such a task.
Punk wedding dresses are unique, individual, and outrageously fun. By incorporating your personal flair into your wedding dress design through colors, unique styles, and daring accessories, you can have a fun, funky, and memorable wedding ensemble.
