I've found a wedding dress I really love, but it's a rosey-pink hue. I never thought I'd want a pink wedding dress, but I really love how it looks on me. My mom really doesn't like the idea of getting married in anything but white, but she hasn't seen me in it either. I agree with her somewhat, because I'm kind of going for more of a traditional wedding style, but the pink dress is so hard to let go of. I'd be a little worried about what people might think if I wore pink, but I look so good in it. What does everyone think? Should I go with boring traditional white, or risk what people might say and go with pink?

White is a difficult color for a lot of people to wear; plus, the detailing is a lot harder to see, esp. in photographs. In addition, your shoes and jewelry will be easier to match with regular outfits. The detailing on the dress is simple, tasteful; on a white dress, it would largely be lost.
If she really gets feisty on the issue, remind her that the standard of wearing white for weddings is pretty much a Victorian invention? Or, if you're not a virgin, sniff and sneer, and say, "Only virgins can wear white." Sorry -- couldn't resist.
But in keeping with pre-Victorian era tradition, you could do something with orange blossoms in your floral arrangement. I included a link:

Go with the pink. You should wear what makes you look your best on your wedding day.
I don't believe in following tradition "just because." Most bridal traditions evolved out of a way for the bridal industry to make money, so I don't feel guilty when I forgo any of those traditions for something that's more suited to my personality.
Don't let anyone tell you what you should or should not wear. This is your wedding day and you've found the dress you love.
Just make sure to incorporate the pink hue into other things: flowers, favors, ect.

Talk to your mom, let her see you in the dress. Tell her time has changed and that traditions start with new ideas, right?! Tell her you still have your traditional values! I think the pink sounds fantastic! Definitely do it. You will be a bride only once and you want to stand out, be the princess! Go for it! It is not uncommon anymore for the brides dress to be different colors or multiple for that matter and the dress and wedding still be gorgeous! By the way, don't worry about what people think. If you are confident and feel beautiful in it, it will show.... and you will glow........! Good Luck and I hope you stick with your gut instinct or you will later regret it!!

That is a beautiful dress, and I'm sure it looks wonderful on you. I think that you should do what you want to do, it's your wedding so it should be your choice. The reason white is the common color for wedding dresses is because of a trend Queen Victoria started when she got married to Prince Albert. Some people believe it symbolizes purity of heart, the innocence of childhood, and virginity. When it comes to your final decision don't worry about what your guests will think, good luck making a decision. By the way, I want a blue dress for my wedding.

Thats a beautiful dress, but you have to remember YOU are wearing the dress NOT your mother. You choose what color you feel comfortable wearing. If you think you look good in the roseypink hue color then YOU wear it. YOU are wearing the dress. YOU also shouldnt care what other people think. They didnt buy the dress, their not wearing the dress, its not their wedding. Go with the pink yes the traditional white is boring I must agree with you. Its nice to see a bride who can think outside the box.

I'd wear the pink dress if thats what I wanted. And then I'd remind my mother that is MY wedding and not hers. And like many people have mentioned wearing white to a wasn't always the tradition.
Start your own traditions...

You had best reconsider this dress you chose - the bodice is icky and the skirt is just too bizarre. You said you are going with traditional wedding style, but this dress doesn't seem like a wedding dress at all! I think you seriously need to look around more.
There's a difference between having a "blush" hued dress and this rose colour - I just don't think it's appropriate. This one is more of a costume.

It's your wedding and no one elses, so wear what you want! If it helps I LOVE the dress and would never think anything if I saw someone wearing it at a wedding I attended. This day and age, it's what you want, whether or not your wedding is traditional doesn't matter! Wear what you want! It's beautiful!

It says it comes in white and ivory--would it be an acceptable compromise to go with the same dress but in ivory?
Personally I don't see any problem with the rose, but the important this is that you feel good about your wedding day. The dress is part of that, but so is your mom. You're bound to fight over your wedding, but pick your battles. If you're not 100% sure on the dress, and she feels really strongly about it, this might be something to compromise on.
At least let her see the dress. Maybe she'll feel better about it then.

It's a very nice dress. If it's the one you want wear it. Don't worry about what others, including your mom, think. Your wedding, your decision. Of course I would personally wear the pink dress BECAUSE people would talk.
