The red wedding dress came to us from time immemorial, from Ancient Rus'. In Russian traditions, it was to prepare for the main celebration an outfit with a red sundress or a white one, but richly embroidered with red threads. In decoding, this means that the girl getting married is especially beautiful and has good health.
The red wedding dress was changed to white according to European traditions during the reign of Peter the Great. So, is it possible to get married in it?
Important! Now this bright, dynamic, lively color has returned and occupies the second position in the relevance of wedding dresses. Brides are happy to choose red looks for themselves.
What do world designers think?
According to tradition, at the end of the fashion show in honor of the new collection, the world's leading fashion designers present several wedding dresses. In recent years, many have turned to red as a base for the bride's dress. Options are presented in different shades - from coral to dark cherry, in monocolor or their two-color combinations with each other, as well as a duet of red and white.
Brides readily responded to fashion trends, and now, among the snow-white and cream dresses in the registry offices, a bold and defiant fiery color scheme sparkled in all its glory. Such dresses suit active, strong, and confident people.
They are chosen by girls who do not stop halfway, but go to the end and achieve their goal. Owners of a red wedding dress are not afraid to be in the public eye, take the increased attention of others calmly and are even ready to challenge public opinion.
What do the signs say?
Superstitious girls will pay great attention to the following warnings, which, although they are the wisdom of the people, are still just prejudices:
- A scarlet wedding dress leads to family quarrels, because this color symbolizes not only love, but also anger. It is for this reason that psychics do not recommend wearing it on the first day of the celebration;
- red is the color of protection. It would be most appropriate on the second day of the wedding, at which time the bride may already be in an interesting position.
This is what people believed in ancient times. Now it is not uncommon for marriages to be registered in the last months of pregnancy. So for this occasion, when the bride is already carrying a child under her heart, a red dress, which has protection from the evil eye and evil people, will come in handy.
When can you wear a red wedding dress?
Only when you really want it. Fulfill your wish, but consider the following factors:
- fiery color is very suitable for a second or next wedding;
- mature women look chic in a red dress;
- This outfit is recommended to be worn on the second day of the celebration;
- skillful selection of style will hide all the flaws and imperfections of the figure;
- Curvy girls should pay attention to dark shades of red - jam, merlot, sangria, pomegranate, ruby, wine, burgundy. They will make your figure slimmer;
- blondes are better off choosing delicate shades - salmon, coral, dark pink in pure color or in combination with white;
- Brunettes can try on scarlet, cherry, raspberry, cinnabar, candy, carmine or lipstick colors without fear.
What should the groom's suit be like?
We will not recommend a return to the hoary old days with the groom’s scarlet shirt. For such a special day, a man must have a new suit in the appropriate color in his wardrobe.
The groom's white attire goes perfectly with the bride's dress. It will go with any shade of red, and the young man next to his future wife will be very stylish.
An outfit in black, blue, gray tones will definitely require addition of attributes to match the dress. This could be a boutonniere, bow tie, tie or even a shirt.
Important! If the choice fell on a suit of the same color as the bride’s, then the shades should match completely, down to the slightest nuance.
