2) Are you honeymooning in Italy?
3) Do you love pasta?
If you answered yes to one of these questions, I've got a fun Italian wedding tradition for you to consider for your pre-wedding celebration dress.
Italian brides have an age-old tradition of wearing green, known as color of fertility, the night before their weddings. Why not go green with these fabulous frocks?

P and I are both 1/2 Italian so I LOVE this! Looks like I might be rocking a green RD dress! Thanks for the tip!
I LOVE kelly green, the world's most underappreciated color. TMI alert: Wearing green undies today! I am going to make a point of finding myself a green POST-wedding dress, since alas I'm already married. Thanks for the inspiration! And for a lively blog.
My Husband is Italian... I'll have to see if his Sicilian Grandmother ever heard of that! Nice tradition!
We are both Italian, we honeymooned and Italy, but I didn't know about this tradition when we got hitched. This would have been great on the rehearsal night. Maybe when we renew.
Thanks for sharing!

These dresses are just gorgeous!
I love the JCrew dress. So elegant and simple – perfect for a May – August wedding.
Love all the dresses, especially the Diane Von Furstenberg, very classy but fun. I think more people should know about the green concept since green is in everywhere else. Great idea.
Great dresses - and how funny! I wore green on the eve before my wedding - had no idea it was such a tradition.
My favorite - the DVF - has to be!!
If Francesco and I ever get married I love the idea of wearing green . So glam. Difficult choice. Thanks for the suggestion. It is lovely. Carla
