2022 Colorful Bride
The goal of this symposium is to educate our guests to the many techniques using dyes to add color to wedding dresses.Ombre and colored bridal gowns are very popular right now with colorful brides who want to make a bold statement.
Helping a bride who has a strong vision for her dress involving color can be a fun experience for a seamstress. But there are some realities about the dyeing process and outcomes that need to be learned. There is a certain amount of risk involved. Fabrics and laces on a wedding dress are going to take dye differently. The color can turn out different than expected too. Brides need to be educated ahead of time about issues and be aware of the risks before deciding to go ahead with the dyeing process.
