In 1840, Queen Victoria monumentally changed the course of bridal fashion when she wore a white satin and lace dress to her wedding. Bending the rules and moving away from the traditional, colorful wedding gowns of the time, the young Victoria kickstarted a trend that would continue to reign for nearly two centuries. Today, while the classic white wedding dress is still a favorite of many brides, times are changing. Consequently, the ideas surrounding bridal attire are evolving once more. As women across the world strive for equality, this push against the patriarchy and the redefinition of femininity is being expressed through fashion. Notably, many women are now opting to wear a statement-making, sophisticated, and ultimately alluring pant suit to their wedding. From bold colors and luxurious satin to delicate lace and traditional whites, the options for bridal pant suits are expanding each day. Therefore, to take some stress away from the planning of your special day, we’re here to give the rundown on the gorgeous pant suits options for your wedding.

For women looking to throw away the rule book’ on their special day and express their individuality and style, a colored pant suit is a way to go. This stunning option will allow you to wear your favorite color down the aisle because after all, not everybody wants to wear white. So, if forest green brings out the golden hues in your hair or aqua makes your eyes shine, play to your strengths and pick a color that will truly highlight your unique beauty. To ensure everyone knows that you’re the bride, it is best to focus on one color for your outfit. While mixing and matching colors can result in gorgeous outfit combinations, leave your color-blocking experimentation for another occasion. Choosing one, beautiful color will make a bold, fashion statement that will instantly distinguish you as the lucky bride. This season, we’re loving dreamy blush pinks and icy eggshell blues as well as mystical forbidden forest greens. If, however, brighter colors are more your style, you can’t go wrong with a seductive cherry red or a dazzling oceanic blue.
