Red wedding dress

The red color of the wedding dress is not a novelty in the fashion world. The tradition of wearing red for a wedding in Europe dates back to ancient Roman times. Then the brides wore a bright red veil for the wedding. They believed that this would provide a pair of wealth and love. The wedding red and white dress was classic and in medieval Europe. The red wedding dress then symbolized the happiness of the bride. Fashion in the white color of the attire of the bride, symbolizing her purity and integrity, was introduced in 1840 by the English Queen Victoria, who married in a white dress. Since then, in Europe, the fashion for red wedding dresses has been lost for a long time.

I must say that in many countries of the East, white color symbolizes mourning, and therefore there traditionally brides marry in red. This color of the wedding dress is still very popular in India, Pakistan, Thailand, China, and in Turkey brides usually wear white wedding dresses with elements of red.

In Russia, on the wedding day, the bride wore a red sarafan or white, but decorated with red embroidery. Wedding dresses with red trim are traditional for Ukrainian-style outfits.

Fashionable scarlet wedding dresses

This year, the fashion for red wedding dresses in Europe is back. At the Bridal Fashion Week spring-2013 lush red wedding dresses were uniquely the most spectacular.

So, the famous American designer, "the queen of wedding dress" - Vera Wong believes that in the current and next year all stylish brides will get married in red.

By the way, Vera Wong not for the first time destroys all stereotypes about romanticism, as an integral part of the image of the bride. Last year, she offered the public chic black wedding dresses. She believes that first and foremost the wedding dress should emphasize the girl's sexuality. In this fashion designer helps the styles of dresses - bustier, corset, silhouette of the year, as well as passionate shades of red - from the bloody to the deep color of Bordeaux.

Choosing a Red Wedding Dress

Red is a strong color, and if it's wrong to choose its shade and style of attire, it will look too flashy for a traditional wedding. When choosing the style and color of the bride's outfit, it is necessary to take into account its image based on the inner worldview. So, introverted, humble nature is much more suitable not for pure scarlet, but, for example, a white wedding dress with red inserts. Such a woman with a red finish will help feel more confident and relaxed on the most solemn day of her life.

This color is so contrasted that even a white wedding dress with red or just red shoes, dressed for a white dress, looks self-contained and bright. The bride in such a dress should be ready for the increased attention of others.

If you are a bold and energetic girl and decided that your wedding dress will be completely red, you should choose a "suitable" shade that will not spoil you, but will only decorate you. To do this, you need to decide on your color and, depending on this, and choose the outfit:

1. Representatives of the color-type "winter" are suitable cold shades of red - burgundy, crimson, bright red, ruby, purple.
2. If you are "spring", then your shades of red are luminous and as if transparent - coral, tomato, poppy, red pepper, red-orange, brick-red.
3. For "summer" will suit red with a bluish tint, crimson, wine, cherry, scarlet.
4. If you belong to the "autumn" color-type, choose a dress of tomato, copper-red or rusty-brick-red shade.

When choosing a color, also consider the type of your shape. A slender bride will decorate in principle any shade of red, but full dark shades will do.

Also, any of these shades in the dress can be supplemented with lighter or darker elements, which will make the perception of the outfit completely different.

Wedding dresses white with red

If you love red, but you can not imagine your wedding dress of any color other than white, you can combine tradition with modernity and add red details to your dress.

So, for example, red can be a ribbon, edging or a bow. As a result, you will get a very beautiful red and white wedding dress, which, although it will be traditional, but will give the bride the brightness and piquancy.

Today it is also very fashionable to combine red color and lace. It is possible to combine original on white cloth with white lace or vice versa, on the white fabric - red lace.

Designers offer this year a large selection of wedding red and white dresses. Among them there are short red-and-white wedding dresses, Greek-style outfits, and also long curvy ones.

A huge advantage of this dress is that it can be worn as an evening outfit after the wedding.
