We're so happy to see that weddings aren't all about tradition anymore, and brides aren't afraid to break the mould and step away from the "rules". If you're looking for a way to get creative with your bridal look, then dare to be different with these fabulous non-traditional wedding dresses.
1). Something Blue
According to tradition, brides should wear something blue on their wedding day. Most brides choose a small blue ribbon or accessory, but why not break and honour tradition at the same time with an entirely blue wedding dress? Opt for a sumptuous navy fishtail dress, a floaty pastel blue gown or why not combine a classic dress with blue embroidery like this beautiful Romantica dress. Whatever shade of blue you choose, don't forget to have fun with this unique bridal look, with non white wedding dresses!
2). All That Glitters
Add some serious sparkle to your bridal outfit with plenty of sequins. Look like a shimmery mermaid come to life as you strut down the aisle in a glittery gown. For the colour of your dress, we love classic metallic shades of silver and gold. Why not make a statement with a feminine rose gold like this one from Cleo and Clementine?

3). Flower Power
Ideal for spring weddings, florals are a great way to instantly update your bridal look. If you want to stick with a traditional style of wedding dress, then why not play around with these pretty flowery prints?

9). Over the Rainbow
Want to add a subtle pop of colour to your bridal look? We're obsessed with these magical rainbow wedding dresses.

This unexpected bridal look is wonderful for brides who want to show their fun and colourful personalities through their dresses!

These intricately printed gowns instantly add a touch of sophistication to any bridal look.

11). Gatsby with a Twist
Get your Gatsby on with these gorgeous, bejewelled bridal gowns. Whether it's the neckline, colour or cut, why not try vintage wedding dresses and put a modern spin on a classic 1920's gown?

12). Dip Dye Dress
If you fancy getting creative with unusual wedding dresses, why not dip dye your wedding dress yourself? However, it might be worth a quick trial run on a cheap dress before you start dipping your £3000 gown in orange dye! If you love this idea but don't want it on your wedding dress, we think this would look so pretty on your bridesmaids' dresses.
Dress: Lucy Can't Dance
13). Short and Sweet
Want to show off your legs, or a killer pair of shoes? Short wedding dresses are a wonderful way to do this. Lots of brides choose a stunning 1950's inspired T-dress, but feel free to opt for a modern, figure-hugging dress if that's more your style.
Dress: Monsoon
14). Elegantly Embroidered
An embroidered wedding dress is great for a bride who wants to make an impact as she walks down the aisle. This is a great opportunity to add a splash of bright colour to your bridal look - why not pick a dress with a feminine floral design?
Dress: Needle and Thread
15). The High-Low Hem
If you want to show a little leg, but still want the elegance and glamour of a floor-length gown, then this idea was made for you! These dresses come in a range of styles, so whether you're looking for a strapless, long-sleeved, or halter-neck wedding dress, you'll be able to find just what you're looking for.
