Red Wedding Gowns – Should You Wear One?

Yes, yes, YES! Red wedding gowns have been popular in Europe and Asia for more than ten years and now are the hottest new trend in America. At first we saw a hint of red, in a bold sash attached to a traditional white dress. Now you can select a complete red gown, a red bodice with a white A-line or organza skirt, or a strapless white bodice with a full red skirt. Other daring options include red corset lacings, custom embroidery and mini-bouquets attached to the train of the gown.

Women are B-O-R-E-D with the monotonous selection of strapless white and ivory wedding gowns. Brides want their gowns to be as unique as they are. Spring brides are choosing pale pastel pinks, lilacs and blues. Those getting married in the summer are adding deeper shades of turquoise, aqua, purple and hot pink to the gowns. Chocolate, rust, olive and eggplant are popular for fall brides. And winter brides are selecting deep reds and blues, as well as black and white gowns, to make the boldest statements. Red, however is the one color that symbolizes passion and romance, and is thought to inspire young lovers ALL year long.

If you go "red" how will feel looking at your wedding photos 10, 25 or 50 years from now? My guess is even if these gowns are a flash in the pan, your grandkids will think you were one hot (grand) mama. Are red wedding gowns just a temporary bridal fashion fad or are they here to stay? If you guessed that wedding gowns will be made in bolder new colors and unusual new fabrics you would be right. Red is only the beginning!
