What Does a Gold Wedding Dress Mean?
We LOVE the color gold. From golden hour to our go-to gold hoops, it’s a staple for a reason, and the meaning behind this glamorous shade goes even deeper!
Symbolically, the color gold is associated with luxury, royalty, power, and abundance, making it the perfect hue to ring in your new married life!
Outside of this symbolism, gold wedding dresses also scream celebration. With their decadent, Gatsby-era vibes, golden gowns are definitely made for partying like royalty and celebrating the abundance of love in your life!
Who are Gold Wedding Dresses Best For?
As much as we LOVE gold wedding dresses, that doesn’t mean they’re for everyone. So, let’s do a quick personality quiz to see if you should say yes to a golden dress!
Do you love standing out from the crowd? Is your dream wedding aesthetic all things glitz and glam? Do you want to rock something non-traditional and more personalized for your big day? Are sparkles your favorite color? Are you planning a New Year’s Eve, black tie, semi formal, or vintage-themed wedding?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then gold wedding dresses may just be your perfect fit! If you’re still not sure, we have tons of other wedding dress round-ups, from pearl wedding gowns to black wedding gowns and everything in between (even jumpsuits)!
How to Style and Accessorize a Gold Wedding Dress
When you’re working with so much sparkle and shine, it can be easy to go over-the-top with your accessories. And as much we believe there’s no such thing as too much glitter, keeping your accessories on the simple side will help your gold wedding dress truly glow.
For gold wedding dresses with lots of beading and sequins, you can’t go wrong with classic satin pumps and elegant gold earrings. If the dress is a little more understated, bring out the sparkle of the gold with something equally glamorous, like a statement necklace or a golden bridal crown!
When in doubt, an all-gold, monochrome look will always be a good idea — from sparkly gold eyeshadow to glitzy gold bridal shoes!
