Though most spring weddings are colorful affairs—from blooming cherry blossom trees to refreshingly blue skies—the season’s kaleidoscopic backdrops rarely influence a bride’s choice of dress. Designers stepped outside the bounds of traditional bridal dresses and created wedding gowns in an array of shades for their spring 2011 collections. Some, like Vera Wang, took a subtle route with muted peach accents while others, like Monique Lhuillier and Romona Keveza, avoided tradition altogether by debuting full-on black wedding dresses.
