Red wedding gowns are not the “in” thing. But they are classic and yield a sense of romantic sophistication. It’s unfortunate that more brides don’t venture into the red world.

I mean look at this silk red gown.

Can you say, WOWOW?!


Sure in old, Christian societies a red wedding dress symbolized a bride’s sin: married as a non-virgin.

But in many Asian and Arabic communities, red is considered auspicious and linked to family, health, and prosperity. There is no shortage of red saris and lenghas for brides to be.

Contemporary times are mixing East and West, old and new, white and red. Unfortunately brides-to-be who want a red gown have limited options. Few wedding boutiques carry the color and you can be hard pressed at even department stores for long, gown style dresses.

The solution? Red dresses need the red carpet! All these dresses below (click on the square thumbnails) were found on the red carpet.

From A-line to empire styles to Cinderalla gowns, these lovely actresses and models love RED.
