A red wedding can be so much fun to plan. With such hot passionate colors like scarlet, maroon, and the other complementary colors, it may be hard to narrow down any specific one. The great thing about red is that you don’t have to narrow it down to one. Red looks great with navy and white. It’s gorgeous with pink and blue. There are any number of combinations of colors that work with red. The best place to start narrowing down your wedding color choices is with your dress choice.

Red wedding dresses are hot this year like never before. It’s not surprising since they are so stunning. Although many designers have red dresses made exclusively for weddings, you have other choices to find the perfect one. A wedding dress can be found in many different ways. For instance, instead of searching for a wedding dress, you could search for pageant or ball gowns and find even more styles.

A dress doesn’t need to be all red, or all white. You can have a mixture of two colors or more. It’s completely up to each bride.

Since black is also a new and upcoming color, a red and black dress will go with a modern wedding theme perfectly. Red is also very beautiful with navy and can make an exceptional gown when mixed.

Some of the new styles of red gowns are ivory or white gowns with small red beading along the bodice, and red sashes across the waist. Another style of dress has a split back skirt with a swatch of red fabric down the back and throughout the train of the dress.

One can expect to pay between $700-$5000 for dresses from various designers, whether a pageant gown or wedding dress. The more elaborate dresses will cost more, and so will any designer dresses.

Since red wedding dresses are popular, you should be able to find them at local boutiques; however, it is always best to call local shops first. David’s bridal has some lovely dresses at low prices. Online is a much better option for a more varied selection of gowns. Always make sure you have an accurate set of measurements before purchase, as measurements may vary between designers. Try and find web shops that offer free shipping with purchase. Many shops offer free preserving service as well. Alternatively you can resell your wedding dress through eBay or Craig’s list.

Weddings are my life and joy. There are thousands of ways to decorate and plan a wedding. One of the most beautiful colors for a wedding is red. If you would like more information on planning a red wedding or finding a red wedding dress, please visit the Red Wedding Guide.
