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!

STUNNING!!! im getting married in april and i was looking for a red dress!!! and i found one :) red is not just to be bold or different, it is also tradition in the chineses and east india cultures to were red on the wedding day!! red is for good luck!! so to all thouse brides out there wanting to do something different remember its YOUR day so rock it!!!
I am wearing that dress and it is so so stunning. I agree with the earlier comment that the pics dont do it justice and actually the two reds are the same in real life.
Our wedding is October next year and is a full autumn theme with autumnal colours and food. I cant wait.
Also for any brides to be that have this dress well done as its now out of stock so is no more!!!! I am SO glad I ordered it when I did xxx
i loved this dress, and i am making same dress for my project
This was the dress I got married in, 3 years ago on Halloween. It was the most beautiful dress for an amazing wedding. I went with a red dress basically because…It’s my favorite colour and everyone knew I wasn’t exactly a virgin..and I’m proud to be me on my wedding day!

I agree with ather girl, a white dress is just a trend somebody made up. In other cultures brides can wear any color they want. To judge a womans carachter on the color of her dress is foolish. If I can affored this dress I would love to wear it!!!! This dress is owesome.
I love the dress. I am having a firefighter theme wedding, and would love to sport something like this.
I wore this dress for my wedding, and boy am I glad I did! I had sooo many compliments, and my photographer said she hates photographing white/ivory dresses as they look so flat in the pictures. You can’t say that about this dress! Glad I splashed out the money on this gown, even if I did only wear it once!
I actually AM wearing this dress- and I love it, it fits me perfectly:)

I would wear this in a heartbeat!!
I’m sure people who are more traditional may find it garish but anyone who knows my personality would think it just matches my high drama style. ;)
Loooooove it!!!!

I was going to mention that the white dress does NOT actually signify virginity, but CB’s done that quite nicely for me.
Anyway. I do not plan to wear white when I get married.
Also, I hate this dress.
