Standing out in the crowd at the wedding banquet is a requisite for a bride. Looking ravishing in a custom-made evening gown is indeed the desire of many.

Apart from design, cut and silhouette, colour too plays a part in creating the ‘look’ you wish to project on your wedding day. When choosing colours, consider the following :

• Your favourites.
• What the designer has to recommend.
• The availability of shorlisted colours in the appropriate fabric that suits the design of the gown.
• How they complement your skin tone.

Here are some gowns in shades of purple and red.
