Red is a wonderful color to go with during the Christmas season if you want to stick with the traditional, and you want to capitalize on the spirit of Christmas.

You can even add a splash of red to your wedding gown. You can add a red sash or a belt around the middle.

Go with some red embroidery on the train or bodice of your wedding gown.

Red bows, inserts or trim can also add a splash of color to your dress. Or if you want to be a little more dramatic, go for a red train, or underskirt.

You don’t even have to add the red to your dress. This time of the year you can add a cape or cover-up  to your wedding day look with a touch of red in the stitching or trim.

Wedding Gowns With A Splash Of Red

We have talked about red wedding dresses before and here’s another. The Maggie Sottero “Alice” gown offers an asymemetrical waistline and one-shoulder design. It’s available in Ruby (pictured), White, Ivory or Latte.

This pink bridal gown is stunning. The strapless, two-piece Maggie Sottero “Brittanya” comes in several color combinations of lace and taffeta.

I went to a wedding recently where the bride wore silver and it was absolutely beautiful. This is the particular silver wedding dress that she wore. The Maggie Sottero “Nouvel Lynette” features tiers of taffeta, lace and tulle.

Check out the entire Maggie Sottero collection, where you’ll find hundreds of wedding dresses ranging from simple sheaths to fancy ball gown.

Maggie Sottero Colorful Wedding Gowns

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.

Red Wedding Gowns Impure?

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!
