I was originally planning on wearing a colored wedding gown, but found that it was pretty hard to find one in a shop, and I didn't want to order it online without first trying it on. So I ended up buying an ivory gown from a local bridal shop, that I pretty much fell in love with. My plan was then to add color accents to the gown (the same color as my bridesmaid dresses). There is a corset back that I was planning to make into red chord instead of ivory, and I was going to add some red crystals on the front.
Here is a picture of a dress that's similar to mine that David's Bridal carries:
While I love the dress, I am not all that excited about the bow. I was thinking about maybe replacing it with a large brooch or some kind of flower, but I just can't picture it and I'm not sure how it'll look.
Firstly, would it look tacky to have the red color accents?
Secondly, are there any suggestions for replacing the bow with something else?
