We’re Still Not Over Penelope Bridgerton’s Pink Wedding Dress

The third season of Bridgerton has finally given us another romance, and wedding (spoilers!), to swoon over and we’ll need at least six more working days to recover. Penelope and Colin Bridgerton are now married and living after, even if the road was filled with unexpected revelations and ~*sexy*~ carriage rides. But while the love story was top-notch, as per Bridgerton standards, we can’t help but obsess over Penelope’s choice of wedding dress in the seventh episode of the recently released season.

Bridgerton has played an important role in giving Regencycore fashion a second life and it’s majorly got to do with the stunning costumes from the show. Penelope’s clothes have played a huge role in defining her character’s evolution this season. The secret gossip columnist strayed away from the garish yellows and vibrant hues to a subtle pastel colour palette that distinguished her from her family and other ball attendees.

This is why it’s no surprise that she ditched the traditional ivory that the other Bridgerton brides wore in the past seasons and went for a unique hue. For her nuptials with Colin Bridgerton, Penelope went with a pale pink A-line gown with cap sleeves and a tulle train.

“Wedding dresses at this time weren’t always white,” said the show’s costume designer John Glaser in an interview with Vulture, “It’s just that the modern audience thinks of them as white.”

According to him, the unexpected colour choice was made to highlight Penelope’s style evolution throughout the show. Originally, it was supposed to be Bridgerton blue but the team decided to settle on a pale pink colour as it suited actress Nicola Coughlan’s skin tone beautifully.

“In the church, you’ve got one side with the Bridgerton family all wearing blue, and on the other side are the Featheringtons wearing their garish colours. No one in that world wears what we’ll call ‘peach’,” he said.

Glaser also revealed that the colour complemented her wedding accessories well too, “The other reason is her wedding veil is off-white. If the dress had been white, she would’ve looked like a nurse walking down the aisle with a white veil. This way the veil becomes an accent.”

Penelope’s wedding dress didn’t only represent the modern-day trend of ditching traditional bridal colours in favour of more experimental colour palettes, but also the modern bride-favourite: convertible dress. The Bridgerton bride could remove part of her dress during the wedding luncheon to dance with her new husband easily.
