I'm not an expert, but off the top of my head pink doesn't strike me as being in good taste. And I happen to think that you're right in voicing your concern and don't understand why people have criticized you for asking.

Coloured wedding dresses are everywhere nowadays!
I think it's refreshing that brides don't feel like they 'have' to wear a white dress.
I wore a gorgeous red dress when I got married, and everyone was surprised, but loved it (I only told my immediate family what I was wearing). I'm very pale, and all white makes me look ill. I was dreading going wedding dress shopping until I found the red dress.
Your niece probably just wants to be a little bit different, is there anything wrong with that? I say go for it!!

First it's ok that you have some worries. It shows that you care. But think about a few things. Does she want to go against tradition? If nothing else in her wedding is tradtional then it makes sense that she may not want a white dress.
Second try thinking about the meaning behind pink:
pink is romantic and charming. Pink can also convey playfulness.
Also remeber that with most colored wedding dresses the color is so subtle that it's not really obvious.

I'm not sure why YOU need advice...it's not YOUR wedding.
You will probably not agree with many of her choices. It doesn't really matter, though. You need to say, "I can't wait, honey, 'cause I love you so much and want you to be happy!". That's really all you can do.
I think a pale pink dress is nice. Also, I'm thinking that your neice may be super traditional, in that she's not choosing white because she's probably not a virgin (at age 20, that's no surprise these days). Good for her for being honest, I guess.

First at all, Thank God she is twenty and not forty or fifty years old!!!!
I think that even though it is not tradition to wear a pink dress, it shows how she really feels about this wedding. Colours show what we feel and she must be so happy that pink is the colour that reflects her feelings. When you are young everything that you wear looks beautiful and I am sure that on that day she will be a ray of sun shining for all of you. Congratulations!!!! I wish this couple a good and healthy life.

How is what your niece wants to wear to HER wedding any of YOUR business? Are you PAYING for her wedding? If not, BUTT OUT!!!
Girls wear all kinds of colors these days.
Besides, have you even bothered to ask her what SHADE of pink she's considering? Go to http://www.davidsbridal.com. They've got several styles of wedding dresses that are very, very pale pink. Pale enough that most people might not even be able to tell it's pink.
But if nothing else, let her wear what SHE wants to in HER wedding. Don't make a fuss over it and make her hate you for the rest of your life.

I think that any bride should wear what color looks best on them. Gwen Stefani wore pink, she looked beautiful. Sarah Jessica Parker wore black and she looked beautiful too. Wedding gowns come in pink so she can't be the only one who wants to wear the color. I'm sure she'll look beautiful. Also, you're her aunt not her mom.

I think it is her wedding, she can wear what she wants. If you suggest maybe a pink sash, pink flowers and pink in her veil with an ivory dress and she wants pink.....the bride should get pink. Remember, it is her wedding, let her enjoy it the way she wants and feels comfortable with. Don't push your feelings or tradition on her, if that was the case, we'd all be with the same hair color, cut, shoes, clothing....life is an individuals path to create, let her create it.

Lots of brides choose to wear pink these days.
How is it any of your business?
I would be more concerned that she is marrying so young. The dress doesn't enter into it.

There's nothing you can do about it especially if her mind is made up. Think about it this way, a wedding gown is worn for a few hours, marriage is for a lifetime. Just be supportive and wish her many happy years of marriage.
