Traditional red wedding dress

In Russia, the red color also prevailed in the image of the bride. It was either a completely red sundress, or white with red embroidered elements. Read more in the article about wedding dresses in Russian folk style.
Oriental brides wear red dresses to attract good luck in their marriage. In China, the traditional wedding dress is called Qipao. 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, India has its own traditional wedding dress Sari, which is also painted red. The tradition of heading to the altar in a red dress was broken by the Queen of England Victoria, who in 1840 went out to her chosen one in a completely white dress.
Choice
In all respects, red is considered a strong color. And so that the outfit does not become too flashy and even aggressive, it is worth carefully considering the shade for the dress and how well it looks with the style.
The bride must match such a bold dress and have the same strong attitude. Courageous, daring and energetic girls can safely choose the most extravagant dress, the shade of which will be perfect. If, however, there is uncertainty and natural modesty, then it would be much better to choose a white dress, but with red elements or inserts.
The first thing to pay attention to when choosing the same shade is the color type:
- All cold shades from the red palette are open for the winter girl. These include the noble burgundy, the color of ripe raspberries, the shade of ruby, purple and the brightest red you can find.
- For the spring color type, luminous and transparent shades are very well suited. This includes coral, tomato and poppy color, 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 associated with copper-red shades and any variations on this theme.
You cannot ignore the type of figure - on plump girls, dark variations of red will look good, owners of a slender figure do not have to limit themselves in choosing the shade of their dress.
Styles
For young brides, any length of a red wedding dress will be acceptable. And do not dwell only on the classic long dress.
Ankle-length or knee-length skirt is not a bad option. A fluffy skirt will be more appropriate. And the model is short in front and long in the back will be ideal.
Well, if you still want to keep a "piece" of the classics in your wedding dress of an unconventional color, then there are many good options for choosing a long dress.
You should not hide beautiful legs under the skirt of your dress. Add a thigh-high incision that will repeat 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 although the red color is far from the classic one, designers still provide an extensive selection of models. They even presented a few in a retro style.
Red and white
If you have the slightest doubt about a red wedding dress, it's best to look through the options for combining white with red.
You are not limited in the choice of these contrasting elements. This could be:
- scarlet lacing on a snow-white corset;
- amazingly beautiful embroidery;
- beaded pattern;
- red floral ornament, randomly scattered throughout the dress.
Red can be concentrated on the belt, present on the train or hem, or on the corset. In fact, you can find many options.
With a red belt
Completely snow-white dresses, the belt of which has a scarlet color, look very, very noble. There may be a bow on the front, side or back. For more ideas, see the article on wedding dresses with red sash.
Long satin ribbons, which serve as a continuation of this bow, add a touch of splendor. If a mermaid-style dress is considered, then a draped belt would be very appropriate here. This move will highlight the hips and reveal all the advantages that your figure possesses.
With red shoes
When choosing a dress in white and red, try to find red shoes. You won't regret it when you catch the admirable looks.
It is not so important how the red color is implemented in your image: be it just a belt, elements on a corset or a skirt. Red shoes are the missing element in the formation of a harmonious image in all respects.
Shoes should not just be red, but exactly match the shade that is present on the dress. Bright color in the outfit, which means that the shoes should be just as bright.
If the length of the dress covers your shoes, then don't miss a single occasion to showcase your adorable shoes. Or you can choose a short dress or with a train.
With red roses
Roses made of red material on the white fabric of a dress can become very bright, successful, and this is precisely how they can become. They can be placed in the shoulder area or flaunt on the hip, surrounded by embroidery, ruffles and color transitions.
If the designer decided to place this floral element at the bottom of the skirt, then it is unlikely that he will use a large flower, since it will look out of place. But a few small floral elements that make up the whole composition are a very good solution for decorating the hem.
With red lace
There is not a single designer 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 an outfit.
A very good solution for using lace is to create contrasts between the lace elements and the main fabric. A red lace belt or a corset embroidered with lace on a white base - there is nothing more beautiful and fragile.
Decor and accessories
There are many versatile colors that go with all the accessories and color elements in the look.
But red clearly does not apply here, on the contrary, it dictates strict requirements regarding the selection of additional elements that will bring completeness to the image:
- Your shoes should not differ in a single tone from the dress.
- Hair jewelry does not have to be chosen exactly to match the dress, but still there should be a relation to a single color.
- Garters can only be red.
Now let's move on to the groom. The color of the suit can be classic black or gray. If he is wearing a white suit, then against the background of a red dress he will have an elegant look.
The groom should add a red accessory in the form of a tie, bow tie 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 bride's image.
If you follow our advice, then the image will definitely turn out to be original and even a little fabulous.
