Red Wedding Dress According to Your Color Type

You should choose your personal shade of red according to your color type. As you may know, there are four main color types: spring, summer, fall and winter.

Color types for red dress

“Spring” is a very frequent color type for women in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the USA. This type includes natural blondes with light skin and blue or green eyes. It’s a “warm” color type, so the skin is light peach rather than pale. These brides will look perfect in tomato, coral, apricot, orange and papaver shades.

A woman of the “fall” type is the typical Irish lady. She has warm light or semi-light skin, red or honey brown hair and green or hazelnut eyes. These ladies will look great in terracotta, tomato and copper-red dresses.

A red dress for fall type

Brides whose color type is “summer” are very pale, with Russian or ash blonde hair and grey or blue eyes. The most flattering colors for them are raspberry, scarlet, vine, or cherry. Burgundy is also an acceptable variation.

Finally, there is the “winter” type. These ladies have skin that is porcelain (Dita von Teese) or olive (Penelope Cruz). They also typically have dark blue, green, black or dark hazelnut eyes. Winter brides look best in raspberry, magenta, burgundy, ruby, or scarlet.

Dresses for Bridesmaids and Guests
If you want a red-themed wedding but choose to keep a traditional snowy-white dress, your bridesmaids MUST wear red dresses in order not to lose the theme.

Guests may wear whatever shade of red they prefer, or at least some red accessory like a silk scarf or necktie.

Bouquet
First of all, you will need to consult with a florist when deciding what flowers to choose. The flowers need to be long-lived so that they will not wilt. Of course, burgundy roses are very popular choice, but not all the breeds of roses are long-lived. Besides, roses are too cliché for an innovative wedding. Instead, consider tulips, peons, gerberas, or chrysanthemums.

If your wedding is planned for late fall, you may include maple leaves in your bouquet, or even make the whole bouquet with them. On the other hand, if it’s winter, you might choose a Christmas-themed bouquet with Ardisia crenata.

Wedding Receptions
Aside from the bridal dress, the groom’s outfit, and the wedding invitations, you can also highlight your red wedding’s theme with red ornaments for the banquet hall, the chapel, or any other reception. Because red matches and snow-white go together perfectly, you may choose snow-white napkins for the tables and accompany them with red ribbons, rose petals, or candles. Bi-colored favorites will also look great.

A bowl with red-and-white candles “swimming” in red petals and water will come out much better than the usual wedding table bouquets. Balloons are another aspect to consider. You can design the color composition of the balloons however you prefer, so long as they match the red theme.

You’ll also want to think about the favors you’ll give your guests. Red apples, strawberries, cranberry juice or punch, or tomatoes will maintain your wedding’s theme.

Needless to say, the center of your red wedding will be the cake. Use white icing and burgundy or berry red ornaments.

A red wedding car, especially a Volkswagen or Peugeot, will be the best complement for the couple who love passionate red. Retro cars in red may be very expensive, but you should still consider this variation, especially if you go for wedding apparel in the style of the 1920s or 1950s.

If you are in London, taking a ride on a red Double-Decker is a fun and unique alternative.

We wish you a passionate and memorable red wedding!

Hot Trend: Red Weddings (Wedding Apparel and Invitations)

Themed weddings or other affairs styled as single colored can be very fashionable and memorable, if they are done properly. If using a unique color theme for your wedding interests, you will love the following advice.

 The red Wedding dresses

 

If you and your spouse-to-be love red, then have a red-themed wedding! Who cares about the outdated tradition that a bride must wear ivory, cream, or white dresses? Go with your own desires. A wedding that reflects who you are will be more impressive than one that blindly follows the dictates of tradition. We guarantee it! Red is the symbol of ever-burning love and passion. It is a very hot color and will emphasize your unique personality.

In China and India, red is considered the color of prosperity and wealth. So consider wearing a red chipao, sarong, or sari. Doing so will emphasize your color and give you an even more unique look.

However, if you prefer to wear a traditional or semi-traditional dress, red is still an ideal color, because it is appropriate for any time of year. You will need to know the special shades for each season.

For instance, you may choose ruby, bardot, terracotta, or coral red colors for the golden fall season. Other shades appropriate for a fall wedding dress include:
Fall wedding dress in Raspberry
Ruby wedding dress for fall
Othelia dress in Ruby for fall
Terracotta dress for fall

Fall wedding dress in red

Othelia dress in ruby

In the winter, you will look breathtaking in blood or scarlet red colors. These shades will look splendid among the winter snows:
Deep raspberry dress for Winter
Empire dress in Scarlet red for Winter

Spring and summer seasons may look great with combinations of red shades. For instance, you may take redwith rose, rose with ecru, red with turquoise, and red with pale or ash rose colors. These shades will also match well with saturated green, golden, or even black:
Coral dress with light nude for Summer
Floral print dress for Summer
Rose and ecru dress for Spring
Black and red dress for summer

Be sure to avoid color conflict!

Invitations in Red

For a red wedding, you need to consider more than just the bride’s dress. You should pick up the same color for every last detail, such as wedding invitations. Such invitations will indicate to guests that they should dress in a proper red color to support your wedding theme.

The format of the invitation should be non-standard as well. Etsy.com can help, as it is full of unique, affordable, hand-made wedding invitations.

Of course, the maple leaf for Canadian brides or any North American bride marrying in the fall is one classy option. But you could also consider one of the following four options taken from Etsy:
Vintage urban wedding card
Vintage style Moulin Rouge style wedding card
Sakura style Spring wedding invitation
Halloween or Thanksgiving style card in Ruby for Fall

Wedding Apparel for the Groom

We’ve already discussed the bride’s apparel. Now, let’s focus on the groom’s. Dark grey with the scarlet or rubyred bowtie will be perfect for fall or winter. Also, dark black with a scarlet rose as the buttonhole flower will work great for a snowy winter wedding.

For a spring or summer wedding, a trendy nude costume with red elements will make a good choice.

Don’t leave—we’ll be right back with more.
