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. Dare to be different!

Red Wedding Dresses 

Really red sensation!

At first we saw a sneak peak of red, in a bold sash attached to a traditional white dress...And then, things got interesting!





Many women are bored with the ho-hum selection of white and ivory strapless wedding gowns. "Make mine pink!" say Spring brides and "Make mine HOT pink" say their Summer sisters. Fall brides want eggplant and not just for dinner. And Winter brides--what do they want?--deep reds, passionate and powerful. The one color that symbolizes passion and romance, and is thought to inspire young lovers ALL year long.

If you go "red" how will you feel looking at your wedding photos 10, 25 or 50 years from now? Like a passionate pioneer! If you guessed that bolder new colors and unusual new fabrics are just around the corner, you would be right! Red is here to stay in a bold new bridal way.

Red Wedding Cakes and Why You Need Them 

Raise the roof with the color red

Red is passion. Red is seduction. Red is what your eyeballs look like after too many glasses of Pinot Grigio. So please schedule your anything-goes bachelorette party tonight even if your wedding is six months away.

Getting wed in red or choosing red as one of your colors will actually have a physical affect on your wedding party and guests. Studies have shown that the color red can increase the rate of respiration and raise blood pressure. So if you want each guest to be as excited as a kid on Christmas morning, put red roses in your centerpieces, red linen napkins on each table, and red buttercream icing on your wedding cake.

Lady in Red 

Chris de Burgh's Hottest Hit

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind...

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...

Many years ago I saw a bride in Austria who wore a bright purple wedding dress. It was so unusual and beautiful. I wanted a purple wedding dress myself, but couldn't find anything appropriate at the time. Very nice lens... I enjoyed the pictures.
