A silver wedding dress is not common. It is usually the preference of the bride if she likes silver or not. The definition of silver may also be wider than you think since some brides consider very light gray colors as silver.

If you are getting hitched for the first time the choice of a silver gown can raise some eye brows as most brides will get married in white or off white.

Many other colors will also be used as an addition to the main color of white in order to blend against the color of the floral arrangement.

Why Choose A Silver Wedding Dress.

It goes without saying that the primary reason will be that the bride prefers this color to any other. Other reasons could be that the dress is a family heirloom or that the wedding motif has a main color of silver and the dress should complement this.

Yet another reason why brides choose to wear a silver wedding dress is that they might be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary. The 25th year of marriage is the year that is considered the silver wedding anniversary of couples. Silver is the color for the celebration of the 25th year. Brides who wish to celebrate their 25th year by renewing their vows can wear a silver wedding dress, if they want.

There is a move towards brides seeking a degree of uniqueness to their weddings and therefore a move away from a traditional feel. Having a silver dress (or any color other than white) certainly is unique. Consider that silver can cause flashbacks when a photograph is taken as the fabric does tend to shine.

Another thing to think about is that silver is a color that can make you look heavier, just as black makes you look lighter.

The grooms may not agree with the fact that the bride is the center of attention and a bride wearing a silver gown as they walk through the church will certainly get some attention.
