Black Wedding DressLooking for a wedding dress in any other colors besides "white" or "ivory?" Maybe say… something like that black beauty for your Halloween wedding?

Yeah, well … good luck with that. Shopping for a colorful gown can range anywhere from frustrating to completely frustrating, forcing brides to either relive prom dress shopping or scouring the bowels of the internets for creative alternatives. That is until Wedding Dress Fantasy showed up on the bridal scene!

Based in New Jersey, they have an online store full of colorful wedding gowns! You can now easily find the perfect red dress for your gothic castle wedding, or blue dress for your urban loft wedding, or pink dresses for, oh I don't know, your lesbian gamer geek wedding? Or even the ever rare and elusive gold wedding dress for your elegant lodge wedding. They also gots tons o' love for the plus size brides as well.

Oh, and maybe you're a budget bride, but you feel weird about ordering a custom dress from overseas. Wedding Dress Fantasy's custom dress prices are uber-affordable, ranging from $299 to $599.

So, when you're ready to easily track down your perfect colorful wedding dress, head over to Wedding Dress Fantasy.

OMG, love it! There's one in the blue section that is, except for the color, exactly like I had envisioned my dress. And then I saw the option to change the color when you buy it! Squee!

Totally great! I wish I had seen this when I was looking for a dress. Also try Allure Bridals style #8526 -it comes in a light blue/gray color called mystic. It's about $600 so kinda affordable if you're planning on shopping in most bridal salons. LOVE it.

It looks like any of their dresses can be made in any color from their color chart…including silver!

It's a great concept, but a few things irk me. They categorize it by different color dresses, but all the dresses can be ordered in different colors. Therefore, shouldn't all the dresses show up in all the color categories? Strange.
The other is, that they're all very pretty, most of them have the princess-y poofy taffeta look. I mean, that's great if that 's what your looking for, and there's a huge market for it, understandably. But a few hippier, earthier, natural fabric dresses would be cool, too.

Sorry, offbeatmegan. I'm not trying to nitpick or point blame at you, lol It's a great site, and probably a huge help for a lot of OBBs out there. I guess I'm just insanely picky :)

No offense taken Reneee, it its not MY site! And I fully understand that not every vendor we profile is going to strike a chord with EVERY person. But if you have concerns I suggest you contact the vendors and see what they have to say.

If only they had a website that not only included colorful bridal gowns, but also ones that are NOT strapless. When were straps and sleeves on wedding gowns outlawed, and WHY??

They have LOTS of dresses with straps, a few with sleeves like this one, and it looks like for some of them they make adorable matching bolero jackets like this one.

There is a green and gold dress that I adore on there. And the prices are good, too.

I apologize wholly. I didn't mean for my complaints to sound like they were being directed at you, personally :(

I have spoken to Tova Marc personally and she is totally professional. We talked about the technicalities of my dress and I am excited to see how it comes out! She is VERY reasonably priced too.

Any dress on the site can be ordered in myriad other colors. They do have silvers and greys there. Check the color chart: http://www.weddingdressfantasy.com/Articles.asp?I...

They may still not have what you're looking for, but I wouldn't rule it out yet. :)

I love the purple ones! Look like they'd be heaps of fun to wear. I agree on the "princessy" comment though – not too many streamlined gowns. But different strokes (or dresses!) for different folks :) Still fun to look at

They were fun to look at! Not at all what I want (though I was stoked by all the colors), but if my style was different, and if I had normal, narrow shoulders and smaller boobs that looked good in strapless, I'd totally go with one of those!

I don't know why strapless dresses get such a hard knock– they actually look better on larger breasted women! Very flattering when they fit properly (and the neckline isn't a sweetheart!)

Check out the vintage dresses! I LOVE them! I just wish I could see the quality of the dresses in person!

I posted this reply a while ago but it got eaten by cyber-space…

Cat, I have been on a mission to find a dress with 3/4 length or full length sleeves, but even the "modest" dresses online had short or cap sleeves. I finally found a dress at Nordstrom that I just love. It doesn't look like much on the model, but I am really busty with more of a (large!) hourglass figure and this dress has a va-va-va-voom factor! I gave up on trying to find a stylish white or ivory dress!

Hi Ladies – this is Tova from Wedding Dress Fantasy. Thanks so much for all the nice comments. I'm so excited to be able to bring much needed designs and colors to the bridal world. There was some mention on more streamline gowns – if you look at the vintage collection, you can also get any of those gowns in any color, they are not as full as some of the other styles. I also noticed that there were a couple comments about long-sleeve dresses. Very funny you should mention, because I also design modest wedding gowns with long sleeves. I have a huge selection in my bridal salon – you can also order them by phone. Take a look http://www.tovamarc.com – let me know if you girls have any questions. And thanks again so much for all the support :-)

Newbie to the site and I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for this site, an especially this article. I have been wracking the internet for something, anything other than white. If that wasn't bad enough, I am a plus size woman as well. What went from frustration and stress, even starting to throw the idea of a dress out the window all together (I don't want marshmellow syndrome…) You came to the rescue! I am so excited now…thank you again!
