subject: Rainbow Brides Shun Dream Of A White Wedding [print this page] JORDAN wore pink, Sarah Jessica Parker wore black and Camilla Parker Bowles chose cream and gold. Now more and more brides are shunning the traditional white Front Open Pink Red Shiny PVC Catsuit Type A in favour of more colourful gowns for their big day.Designers say that costume latex in peacock blue, red, chocolate brown and peach are capturing the imagination of increasing numbers of brides who believe that exchanging vows in white is a fantasy that belongs to a bygone era.
White, of course, is the traditional symbol of virginity. Yet even after the sexual revolution of the Sixties, it continued to be the most popular option for British brides. Now, however, more and more people are living together and many are having children before marrying. And many of these post-modern brides regard the idea of wearing a traditional white meringue as something of a joke.Others point out, not unreasonably, that colourful gowns can be worn again, whereas white meringues tend to languish in wardrobes.
Vivienne Westwood, the flamboyant fashion designer, endorsed the trend for colourful latex this year when she included a peach and grey silk, off-the-shoulder gown in her spring/summer 2005 collection. John Galliano also displayed a Madame Pompadour ivory duchesse satin gown in his couture 2005 show, which was covered with turquoise and green beaded flowers, while Karl Lagerfeld included a pink and white lace costume latex.The move away from traditional white latex leggings was in evidence at the National Wedding Show in Birmingham yesterday, where future brides and their mothers enthused over the array of colourful costume latex on display.
Stephanie Ensor, 22, a furniture maker from Herefordshire, tried on a gold and ivory costume latex and said she knew it was perfect for her summer wedding next year. "I love it," she said. "I knew when I got engaged that I didn't want white because I had in mind a wedding that had an antique feel to it. The colour scheme is pink, gold and ivory, so this costume latex is perfect." Her mother, Fiona Stubbs, 47, said: "When I got married, I wore white because I didn't have any choice. It would have been scandalous to walk down the aisle in a colourful costume latex. People would have started whispering and asking why the bride wasn't pure enough to step out in a white Front Open Sexy Shiny PVC Catsuit Plus Whip and Mask."
Katy Watson, 26, of Glasgow, said she could not help trying on a burgundy gown that caught her eye at the wedding show. "I'm surprised by how much I like it," she said.Linda Johnson, a latex designer who founded Beretun Designs, creates gowns in a range of colours - including blue, pink and gold. She said: "I meet a lot of women in their 30s who already have a family and feel a bit of a fraud walking down the aisle in a white costume latex."They are getting married in all kinds of settings and want something a bit sexier and more adventurous."Wedding planners welcome the popularity of colourful Green Shiny PVC Catsuit but advise women to think carefully about their big day before adopting the extravagant styles on the catwalk.
''If you like the idea of wearing colour, there's nothing to stop you," said David Lethbridge, the managing director of confetti.co.uk, an online wedding consultancy.''The key is to choose a colour that suits you and your surroundings."Rebecca Lockley, 17, a student from Wolverhampton, was modelling costume latex at the show yesterday. She said: "Women either love the colourful ones or hate them."
The fashion for wearing white gained popularity in the 19th century, when Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe in a white gown instead of a silver one, then the traditional colour for royal brides.Hilary Alexander, The Daily Telegraph fashion director, said: "The fashion conscious will always want to buck the trend but most first-time brides will want to walk down the aisle in a traditional white or ivory Navy Blue Front Open PVC Unisex Catsuit with Cross Pattern."
