Oriental brides wear red dresses to attract luck to their marriage. In China, a traditional wedding attire is called Tsipao. This dress is a must for every girl who is going to get married and wants her family life to be successful, rich and filled with joy.
Since time immemorial, there is a traditional wedding dress Sari in India, which is also painted red. The tradition to go to the altar in a red dress was broken by the Queen of England Victoria, who in 1840 went to her chosen one in a completely white dress.
Selection
In all respects, red is considered a strong color. And so that the outfit does not become too flashy and even aggressive, you should carefully consider the shade for the dress and how well it looks with the cut.
The bride must match such a bold dress and have the same strong outlook. Courageous, bold and energetic girls can safely choose the most extravagant dress, the shade of which will be perfect. If all the same there is uncertainty and natural modesty, then it will be much better to choose a white dress, but with red elements or inserts.
The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing that shade is the color type:
- For the winter girl, all the cold shades of the red palette are open. These include the noble burgundy, the color of ripe raspberries, the shade of ruby, purple and the brightest red that you can find.
- For the spring color type, glowing and transparent shades are very well suited. This includes coral, the color of tomato and poppy, red pepper.
- Summer girls can safely choose a red dress with a bluish tint, the color of wine, cherry, raspberry. Scarlet can also be attributed here.
- Autumn color type is closely related to copper-red hues and any variations on this topic.
You can not ignore the type of the figure - dark red variations will look good on full-bodied girls, the owners of a slim figure can not limit themselves in choosing the shade of their dress.
Styles
For young brides, any length of red wedding dress will be acceptable. And do not dwell only on the classic long dress.
A skirt that extends to the ankle or covers the legs at knee level is a good option. Fluffy skirt will be more appropriate. A model short front in front of the long will be the ideal option.
Well, if you still want to keep a “piece” of classics in your wedding dress of non-traditional color, then there are many successful options for choosing a long dress.
Do not hide the beautiful legs under the skirt of your dress. Add an incision to the thigh, which will be repeated in the chest area. Well, the top of sexuality is a red long dress with a bare back.
In general, there are still a lot of options and even the red color is far from the classic one, yet the designers provide an extensive selection of models. Even presented a few in retro style.
Red and white
If you have any doubts about the red wedding dress, it is better to still see the options for combining white with red.
You are not limited to choosing these contrasting elements. It may be:
- scarlet lacing on a white corset;
- amazingly beautiful embroidery;
- beaded pattern;
- red floral ornament randomly scattered over the dress.
Red color can be focused on the belt, be present on the train or the hem, as well as on the corset. You can actually find a lot of options.
With a red belt
All-white dresses look very nobly, their belt has a scarlet color. There may be a bow in front, side or back. For more ideas, see the article about wedding dresses with a red belt.
Long satin ribbons add to the splendor and serve as a continuation of this bow. If a mermaid style dress is considered, then a draped belt would be very appropriate. Such a move will highlight the hips and reveal all the virtues that your figure possesses.
With red shoes
Choosing a dress in white and red, try to find red shoes. You will not regret it when you catch glances full of admiration.
It is not so important how the red color is realized in your image: whether it is just a belt, elements on a corset or skirt. Red shoes - this is the missing element in the formation of a harmonious image in all respects.
Shoes should not be just red, but exactly match the shade that is present on the dress. Bright color in the dress, it means that the shoes should be as bright.
If the length of the dress closes your shoes, then do not miss a single case in order to demonstrate their amazing shoes. Or you can pick up a short dress or with a train.
With red roses
Very bright, successful, and that is how roses from red material on a white dress fabric can become. They can be placed in the shoulder area or show off on the thigh, be surrounded by embroidery, assemblies and rolling color solutions.
If the designer decided to place this floral element in the lower part of the skirt, then he is unlikely to use a large flower, because it will look inappropriate. And here are a few small floral elements that make up the whole composition - a very good solution for decorating the hem.
With red lace
There are no designers who would not use lace to create their wedding masterpieces. Everyone loves him, noting the beauty of the lines and appreciating the fragility that lace brings to the outfit.
A very good solution for the use of lace is the creation of contrasts between the lace elements and the main fabric. A red lace belt or a corset embroidered with a lace on a white base - there is nothing more beautiful and fragile.
Decor and accessories
There are many universal colors that are in harmony with all the accessories and color elements in the image.
But red obviously does not apply here, on the contrary, dictates strict requirements regarding the selection of additional elements that will bring completeness to the image:
- Your shoes should not be one tone different from the dress.
- Jewelry in the hair is not necessary to choose exactly to match the dress, but still the attitude to a single color should be present.
- Garters can only be red.
We now turn to the groom. The color of the costume can be classic black or gray. If he wears a white suit, he will have an elegant look against the background of a red dress.
The groom should add a red accessory in the form of a tie, butterfly or boutonniere. When decorating the hall you should not use a lot of red elements if the wedding dress is completely red. Nothing should interrupt the brightness and originality of the image of the bride.
If you stick to our advice, then the image will definitely get original and even a little fabulous.
My husband asked me to choose a red wedding dress. And I somehow stew, it's too bright. But the first photo is exactly what I like. The long train is very beautiful.
