While some brides envision themselves in head-to-toe white on their wedding day, others are drawn to gowns in bold and daring colors. But if you’re a bride-to-be who happens to straddle the line between traditional and fashion-forward – a champagne wedding dress can offer the best of both worlds.

When shopping for a dress, keep in mind that gowns won't be strictly labeled as "champagne" in color—terms such as "nude" and "bisque" might be used, depending on the brand or designer.

In undertones of blush, beige, and gold – champagne wedding dresses are full of dimensional color. For brides looking to make a statement, gowns in gold-tinged champagne feel especially elegant and unexpected. For the romantic bride, ivory ball gowns with a subtle beige underlay are utterly timeless. And for the minimalist bride – champagne is a classic neutral tone that always pairs beautifully with clean lines and sleek silhouettes.
