Red Wedding Gowns

The long white dress was a symbol of brides since Victorian times. But these days, more and more women choose to buck tradition and wear a wedding dress, the better to express their personal style. Why not be daring and wear instead of a red wedding dress?


Did you know that in China, red is the traditional color for brides, because it symbolizes good luck and it is believed to have power to keep evil spirits at bay? So if a white wedding dress is not your style, red is actually a wonderfully promising color to wear for a bride. It is true that to carry into the American culture, a red dress as a declaration of independence are made or broken with the tradition, so be prepared for that some funny looks from the older generation.

There are some fantastic opportunities for red wedding dresses. These can vary from red evening gowns for special custom orders for wedding dresses from a classic red cloth. As a simple white dress, wedding gown should be chosen to fit the time and place for the wedding and the bride suits. One thing to note when choosing a red dress, is that it still feels "Bridey" enough, in other words, you do not want to end up looking like a bridesmaid.

Speaking of bridesmaids should wear what if the bride wears a red dress? You must be careful to choose a color that will look good in red Select the ceremony and for the photos. For an evening wedding, black can be a good choice for the participants. The final result would be a very demanding bride to be a party. Another color that can be paired with a red dress, are a rich purple. The red and purple look together is very Regal and Royal, especially if it happens in a pile for a winter wedding. Or go to a complete reversal, and bridesmaids dress in white on the path of the bride red dress.

As for the dress of the bride herself, there are some great ideas out there. At one wedding I attended, the bride had a tailor-made red tulle skirt paired with a tailored black corset. The full skirt with a fitted bodice for a dramatic and highly flattering effect made. This would be at the bold end of the spectrum of red wedding dresses, perfect for a bride to his own taste and style will be familiar.


Red is not a reserved color for a wedding dress, but it can be done in a less dramatic way. For an evening wedding, a deep red dupioni silk dress with a striking portrait of think-neckline and trumpet skirt. Your guests will be dazzled by your elegant dress. Another lovely idea is wearing a strapless ball gown with full skirt in a classic red silk satin red. The timeless cut a nice contrast to the brightly colored dial.
