Two piece wedding dresses are not only fashionable and edgy, but also give the bride a ton of versatility! Living in a more non-traditional era, two piece wedding dresses are breaking all of the rules of typical bridal fashion. Two pieces really show the brides' personality from afar, adding a twist on your average wedding gown.  Bridal separates also gives the bride a TON of options when pairing her two pieces. Float down the aisle within a dramatic fuller silhouette paired with a laced crop top for the wedding ceremony. Then strut your inner diva into the reception with a fun mini skirt and a pop of color! Either way its your big day, own that two piece sister!

Choosing the perfect wedding dress is a BIG deal for any bride! It also can become pretty pricey. Whether your budget is financial savvy or not, two piece wedding dress for the #WIN! Not only are two pieces more affordable but can also be worn for more than one occasion. They are also more accommodating for the bride when transitioning from one dress to another.

Two pieces are highly favored at Celebrate Colorfully for many reasons, but the personality that naturally flows from the bride tops the cake! Brides have more options when it comes to truly being herself and being comfortable in her own skin on the big day. There's nothing more beautiful than seeing a bride naturally glowing in her wedding ensemble.
