When you're a soon-to-be bride it's hard to see beyond white when it comes to the dress, but 2013 wedding dresses are taking all kinds of risks and becoming less traditional than ever! We've already seen Hollywood stars marrying in pink, and that was pretty memorable, but there is a more striking color coming to the fore in 2013...
red.
Who wears a red wedding dress?

• Asian Brides: Red seems like a very off-the-wall color for a wedding dress, because even ivory, or champagne is a step too far for many brides, but bear in mind that tens of millions of brides in Asia wear this color to get married in every year! You see, red is a very auspicious color, meant to bring good fortune to the new couple, so why not gather this sentiment for your own wedding?
• Christmas Brides: Despite the weather being poor (for Northern hemisphere brides at least), Christmas weddings remain enduringly popular; and which color is more 'Christmassy' than red? There are two options for you, either a white dress with red accents, or a red dress with a hint of white such as a nosegay.
  The only tip would be to go easy on the red and white to avoid looking like Mrs.
  Claus!
• Individual Brides: With style and fashion becoming very important to brides there's no reason why red dresses must be frowned upon these days.
  Choosing a very unique style like this isn't about one-upmanship, but on the other hand it's important for your wedding to stand out from the crowd.
  Given that we all attend so many weddings, see so many pictures, and find most of them instantly forgettable, wouldn't it be nice for yours to rise above all of the noise? Let's face it, the bride is the focal point of any wedding, so why not make the ultimate impression?

If you are considering wearing a red dress then our tip is for you to try to keep it a secret from your guests until you actually enter for the ceremony! If you are having a video made then it will perfectly capture their looks of surprise as they realise that you've been planning to surprise them with this bold gesture! A final point is to consider your bridal lingerie.
This would usually be white, but if you're a red bride then you can really treat your new man with a set of crimson lingerie which will not only drive him crazy, but also match the gown perfectly!
