Taylor Ann Linko, a San Diego-based artist, has created a multicolored wedding dress using airbrushing, a technique that adds flair and makes the dress stand out. Airbrush makeup is a professional formula and technique that involves spraying foundation directly onto the skin with an airbrush gun. When done correctly, airbrush makeup can provide a flawless finish that is long-lasting and leaves the bride photo-ready for her special day.
Airbrush makeup is not cheap, as it is about $30 to $60 more than traditional wedding makeup prices. It is worth experimenting with your chosen makeup artist before making a decision. Airbrush makeup can be a game-changer, as it fine-tunes your natural skin tone, leaving you with a radiant natural glow that complements your stunning wedding dress perfectly.
The dip dye wedding dress trend not only gives your formal dress a colorful touch but also solves one major problem that many brides face: dirty gowns from touching the ground. For larger areas of coverage, airbrushing may be a better option for quicker results and longer-lasting results.
Airbrush makeup is a professional formula and technique that involves spraying foundation directly onto the skin with an airbrush gun. It is also possible to paint the lace with a thin acrylic with a fabric medium mixed in.

Can I take my wedding dress on a plane?
You can bring your wedding dress through security, but we recommend packing it in a bag to protect it. Contact your airline to find out how to bring your dress on the plane and how it fits into their carry-on bag limitations. If your dress won’t fit through the X-ray machine, we’ll use another screening method. Your garment bag will need to be opened. The TSA officer decides if an item can go through the checkpoint.

How to make a wedding dress look vintage?
Vintage wedding dresses often had lace and embroidery. Look for dresses with lace, overlays, or appliqués to add vintage charm. Incorporate lace patterns inspired by the Victorian, Art Nouveau, or Edwardian eras.
Different eras had different necklines and sleeve styles. For an Edwardian look, try a high neckline with lace or a Peter Pan collar. The 1950s had sweetheart necklines and cap sleeves, while the 1970s had off-the-shoulder or bell sleeves.
Choose fabrics like satin, chiffon, tulle, or lace. These materials make your dress look old-fashioned and elegant.
How do you air out a wedding dress?
Wrinkles, go away! Your dress will come in plastic and a white bag. It will be on a cardboard form and stuffed with tissue paper. Your dress may have wrinkled in transit. Hang your dress up high and let it air out. If your dress has a train, let it flow freely on the ground. This lets wrinkles release before the big day.
Steam your veil. Your veil is in the garment bag, behind your dress. Remove your veil and hanger from the bag to prevent wrinkles. If you have a steamer, steam your veil gently and hang it safely until you plan to wear it.
Check your bustle. Now is a good time to check your bustle again and remember how to do it. The style of your bustle will determine how it is attached to your train. If possible, ask the person you’re doing your bustle on your wedding day to help you. Learn more about bustle types and how to do them here.

Can you spray paint a fabric dress?
This spray paint for textiles is great. It doesn’t affect fabric, make it stiff, or fade after washing. You can use it with stencils. But to write.
What is the best way to preserve a wedding dress?
Store a wedding dress in an acid-free paper box with tissue. Some people use plastic to store the gown, which is bad for the fabric. Boxes that are only pH-neutral aren’t as safe for your wedding gown. Conant says these boxes can re-acidify because the neutralizer is water-soluble. Don’t use ordinary boxes and tissue. They are acidic and cause yellowing. Ordinary boxes and tissue can scorch wedding gowns, leaving brown streaks. Instead, Conant suggests using a wedding chest made of oriented polyester, which won’t yellow or damage your wedding gown. The window is plastic-free. It doesn’t let oils, grease, or volatile aromatics through and can withstand extreme temperatures. Keep your gown away from air and light to avoid fabric damage.

📹 I Spray Painted My Wedding Dress!
This video shows the process I used when spraying color onto my wedding dress A Special thanks to Sarah Pugh and all my …
I love this so very much!!! I am 58 years old. I’ve been married twice, I’ve got kids and grandkids. I am getting married again soon. I just got engaged in February, and had no intention of wedding dress, veil, etc. I only planned on making some pretty flowers and leaving it at that. I have nice dresses, I’m certainly not wearing white, lol. But then…..earlier tonight for some reason, I decided I wanted a veil. A cathedral length veil. But not black, white, or ivory, which is about all I’m finding inexpensively on Amazon, lol. Well. So I thought, I’ll dye it! Then, I’ll paint it! And now here I am perusal you alter your dress into something amazing!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are saving my wedding dress! I had so much trouble finding a wedding dress that I liked, with the top criteria being an ombre bottom. I finally found someone to make my outfit, but it fell through, with less than two months to my wedding! I panicked and found something online in the style I liked, who can do a rush order, but they’re not able to dye it. I lined up a friend back home who’s a dyeing professional and thought I’d be set. But, she just emailed me today to say she’s not comfortable with tulle…which I picked because it’s supposed to be easy to dye! So now, I’ll have just a couple of weeks with my dress on hand to get it altered and dyed. I’m a crafty lass, so I thought, mayyyybe I can do it myself? Your article is showing me EXACTLY what I want to do!! My wedding is abroad (I’m in Nepal and coming home to the US), so I just have to wait one more month for the dress to arrive (after me, in the US), and then spring into gear with alterations/customizations and this dying experiment!! I’m so grateful, because not only will it save on cost, but I won’t have to send the outfit away somewhere and hope it comes back in time!! And it’ll match my bridesmaids, who are each wearing colors to match the outfit I had planned, as well as my groom and his party. Thank you again!!!
WOW. I just want to say you did an amazing job. I wanted to do this with my wedding dress and was lookin into companies charging $$$ but you just saved me soooo much money! And THANK YOU for responding to people questions. It helps soooo much! I want to tip you just for saving me hundreds of dollars 🤣🤗🥰
This is just the article I was looking for thanks! I am repurposing my wedding dress for our anniversary party and want to add color. So many articles only show people dyeing their dress but this spray paint method looks sooo much easier than going through the hassle of say a dip dye. And it turned out very vibrant! I will be trying the same spray on my scrap fabric and hope it works 🤞
I am doing this for my dress! So excited. Thank you for sharing your process and materials. Yours turned out great! Fingers crossed I can have the same outcome lol I think I’m going to start it this month. The wedding is in August. Do you recommend doing it closer or further from the date? I also plan on doing my veil with the same effect.
Omg this what I’ve been trying to do. I found that exact same picture and I found the ladies website who wore that dress. She airbrushed her own dresses and they are SOOOOOO much money. So I have spent so much time trying to find an airbrush artist to do it for me locally. Then I concidered doing it myself but I’m so afraid it wont lik nice If I do it lol. Was going to try an airbrush with fabric paint or something I dunno. If I was good at it I would love to do this as a side buisness. Yours came out great! You wouldn’t happen to be in Florida would you? Haha .
Thank you for sharing this process, I’ve watched the article a few times now because I want to do something similar with my own dress for my wedding in May. I’m curious about a few details though: Did you do anything afterwards to “set” the paint? (Did you rinse it at all before wearing?) And did the fabric maintain its flowy-ness, or did it get stiff at all? Thank you so much!
Ahh many questions, firstly it’s absolutely stunning well done! Question 1, how did you get it to stand up do you have any alternative ideas than a mannequin? Question 2, I don’t want to colour the very top layer of lace and toule and have a black gradient from the ground to the bodice do you recon pinning up the layer would work? Question 3 was wind an issue if so how did you combat that? Question 4, did it withstand dry cleaning? Thank you, and apologies! 😊😊
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for sharing! I have a couple questions: 1) did you treat the dress by washing or dry cleaning before the spray paint? 2) How long did you let dry? 3) After dress was completely dried Did you experience any color coming off, or staining of your skin? Thanks I appreciate your help as my wedding is this June. I’m doing a fuchsia ombe combo so I’ll share the end results with you. Thanks!
Im planning to do the very same with my Wedding Dress. I bought it for 250 Euro and I do not have a daughter to wich i’d give ist some day. I am a rider. And the barn Girls and I have almost the same bodyshape. So we plan to take my Dress, spice it up and do fotos with our White horses next year at spring.
