With so many brides choosing beautifully daring alternatives to white, ivory and cream, coloured wedding dresses have become an increasingly popular choice. We’ve already brought you blush, pink, blue and black wedding dress inspiration and here we celebrate the red wedding dress in all its glory! Bold and dramatic, a red wedding dress is not for the faint-hearted, but really adds a wow factor. In fact, brides in China wear a red wedding dress instead of white since red is, in Chinese tradition, the colour of good luck, good fortune and love. It’s also worn in Hindu wedding ceremonies. From poppy red and crimson to deep marsala and Christmas red, we’ve rounded up 28 seriously romantic Red Wedding Dresses to inspire your big day style, or maybe even a dress change for dancing!
