If you haven’t noticed, rainbow is the new white. Brides and grooms everywhere (both same-sex and straight) are beginning to incorporate the colorful theme into their wedding decor. Maybe it’s indecision or maybe it’s pride, but hues of the seven colors are being seen in everything from wedding cakes to party favors.

Bridal fashion is also changing to show off pastel and bold rainbows. Whether it’s the wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, grooms’ suspenders or shoes, this colorful trend has a place in all weddings.

The bridesmaid party can wear alternating dress colors to give a full rainbow look. The matching bridal bouquets of different colors are also a cute rainbow interpretation.

For a shoe that is more rainbow-inclusive, consider adding sparkle. On flats or heels, the look really pops.
