Gold or goldtone dresses are being spotted in more and more designers’ collections over the past few years and we think it is one of the prettiest alternatives to a white gown there is (besides blush, of course). Whether you’re looking for a gown with just a hint of gold (perhaps in the thread) or a fully sequined dress that lights up a room, there is a gilded gown for you. Below I’ve collected 17 + of my favorite gold gowns out there. We know that ever since you wore (or wanted to wear!) that Belle dress-up costume when you were seven years old, there is a part of you that will love these gowns. Enjoy! P.S. Love the look, but not sure its right for your wedding ceremony? Change into a gold gown for your reception, or dress your bridesmaids in gold!
