Some brides are looking for a long-sleeved bridal gown and have a hard time finding a good one. This dress from the Justin Alexander Couture collection looks like the perfect answer.

This strapless wedding gown (style 9552) comes with a removable lace blouse that covers the shoulders and arms completely. The high neckline gives it a vintage appeal.

The skirt features silk floral details and it has a cathedral train. This ivory bridal gown is available in sizes 4-20. Check out this gown and other beautiful options at JustinAlexanderCouture.com.

Red Wedding Gowns Impure?

Earlier this week, I posted about the Justin Alexander red wedding gown. A reader named Gray commented that the dress would be “fine for someone who isn’t ‘pure’ which is what the white dress stands for, virginity.”

In this day and age, should virgin brides be the only ones wearing white? Or another question … Is it okay for a virgin to wear a non-white wedding dress?

I don’t think that traditions should dictate what you wear at your wedding, but I’m sure many people may disagree. The style, shape, fabrics and designs of wedding dresses change all the time. So why not color?

Is a red wedding dress (or blue or another color other than white) frowned upon? Chime in with your comments and let us know.

This gorgeous red bridal gown from Bonny Bridal’s Essence Collection (Style #8611) features a strapless bodice with beautiful rhinestones and beading, along with a full ruched skirt. I love the train on this dress!

And here’s another red wedding gown that I really love. It’s available in sizes 2-24 for $699 at OnlyGowns.com. In addition to the red and white version pictured, it also comes in all white, red and gold, and ivory and gold.

Red Wedding Gowns Impure?

Justin Alexander Red Bridal Gown

Though many wedding traditions change of the years, one thing that stays relatively the same in the United States is white (or offwhite, ivory, etc.) wedding gowns. Though they might change in shape, style, design and fabric, most wedding gowns are generally white.

In recent years, many brides are adding a splash of color to their wedding gowns with colored lace, trim, beading and other embellishments. But how about a completely red wedding dress? Would you dare?

In China, red is the color for weddings are most other celebrations. It symbolizes happiness, good fortune and a joyous life. Most brides in China wear red wedding gowns. But in the United States, we are mostly still sticking to white.

I like the idea of a red bridal gown - it’s bold, festive and fun.

This red gown pictured is from Justin Alexander. It’s also available in Honey/Coffee. I recently saw this dress on Red Hot Brides.

It features a boned bodice in sequins, beads and Swarovski crystals. I think this dress is absolutely gorgeous. If you love red, you should really consider a red wedding dress. People will definitely remember your wedding day forever!
