The Red Wedding Dress

Red wedding gowns — practically a staple in Europe for the last ten years — are making waves on the American scene as well. And for those who love the idea but aren't ready for full-throttle red, there's the red and white gown, maybe with a dramatic red cape or silk pashmina.

But where can you find these bold beauties? We've done the homework, so just click and admire.

    Dawn - Thanks for sharing our site. I just wanted to mention that any of our pieces can be dyed to match your gorgeous red gowns! Please, feel free to browse all of our design ideas (with or without veils) and let me know if we can be of help. Best wishes to all of you.

  2. Sarah Says:

    Misty-

    Thank you so much, I really love the Nola dress. I think that is going to be the one! Now I just have to find a store that is semi close to me and go try it on.

    Thanks again

  3. Skye Says:

    I have a Brand New Justin Alexander Wedding Gown in RED, Style 3089, Sincerity, US Size 4. It was Purchased in DEC 2006 & only worn for fitting with my final payment. Although I am located in Sydney-Australia, I am willing to ship overseas at my expense registered. My advertised price was $1200AUS including hoop. Purchased in Sydney for $2100AUS. I must sell the gown & open to offers. Please reply to my email if genuinly interested : msmudhopper@southernphone.com.au) Thanku

  4. Mistty Says:

    Blake, Thanks for the help. I would never have thought of chocloate brown instead of black!:d

  5. Mistty Says:

    Sarah-
    The one on the left looks alot like Capri by Maggie Sottero and the one on the right is Nola by Maggie Sottero. You can see the first one at www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=fuschia&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=J926 and “Nola” at www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=scarlet&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=J190 , I have asked about these same dresses at bridal stores here and although they are still available they are from pervious seasons. Hope that helps!:)

  6. Blake@FavorIdeas Says:

    Mistty, take a look at some fall inspiration boards including red, like this one:

    www.stylemepretty.com/2008/03/reader-inspir-4.html

    Go heavy on the chocolate brown and related colors: latte, cream. Bring in copper like the touch of bronzy ribbon in this board. Bring in touches of coral, too, like the mini-callas and a bit of pale green to liven things up. You’ll have a rich palette that is not even remotely goth because it’s so warm and earthly. Check out those birch-bark candles too — a few obvious rustic touches like those also de-goth a wedding. A little faux woodgrain or birch bark would be great here.

    HTH!

  7. Sarah Says:

    I am looking for a dark red, wine color, burgendy or crimson wedding gown. I have not had any luck finding dresses that are not strapless. There is two strapless gowns that I love on ebay, but I really need the straps for some extra support. The above pic is of them. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know where I could find one of these gowns? I am sure I could find a seamstress that could figure something out. I just dont want to buy from anyone overseas.

    Thanks for all your help

  8. Mistty Says:

    Hello All,
    I am getting married in fall of 2009 and of course I have a fall theme! I am wearing the red dress above, however, the problem I am having is that I cannot figure out colors for the bridesmaids that would compliment my dress, not make my wedding look gothic, and would still be acceptable with a fall theme. I really like warmer fall colors. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice on deciding a color scheme to go with my beautiful red dress. Thank you so much! By the way the dress is Lana by Maggie Sottero.

  9. MN Says:

    Shelly

    I’m all the way in Canada, but fiorenza is my dream dress too. I haven’t ordered it, as the wedding is still over a year away, but I’ll have to do it soon, as I’ve heard they sometimes discontinue gowns.

    I’m stressed about the cost though, seeing as the US dollar is so close to Canadian dollar these days… the cheapest I can find the dress is $899 in Canada, but in the states it’s $679.

  10. Anne Says:

    Now if I only I could find more red dresses that aren’t strapless! Why is that the craze? I’d like a halter top with a tulle/organza ballgown bottom. So tough in central PA to go looking anyway :(

  11. Cleo Says:

    Amber, Tricia, & Nicole,
    If it’s not too late, i found the dress you were looking for. They sell it at bestbridalprices.com. It says it is style #1264. I hope this helps.

  12. Cleo Says:

    Donna,
    The designer for the dress you’re looking for is Justin Alexander. Sincerity is the name of one of his collections.

  13. Dawn P. Says:

    I am posting Shelly’s maggie sottero, “Fiorenza,” it is unbelievably gorgeous. WOW.

    Which reminds me, Sayde, if you’re wanting a traditional veil, look how they staged it in this photo, very clever how they coordinated the red dress with the white veil using that red satin headband/fascinator/flower (hard to tell).

  14. Dawn P. Says:

    Sayde, personally I would pick a red fascinator or perhaps an organza or silk rose, I think the drama suits these dresses perfectly. Second choice, maybe a red birdcage veil? Here are a few from Etsy & a company called Breeziway just to get the juices going … 1) from Breeziway 2) trulyfallen, 3) by annabronwyn

    That’s a great question btw, what is everyone else doing for a headpiece or veil?

  15. Shelly Says:

    Check this one out, ladies! I love it!

    Marina,
    I have that dress by Christina Wu! Wore it for my Feb. 06 wedding.

  17. Sadye Says:

    Hello there ladies (and maybe gents?) I was wondering if anyone could suggest what type of head piece one would wear with a red dress. I have decided that yes my dress must be red but i really wanted a veil to. Any ideas?????? Thanks sooooo much

  24. Wendy Hutchinson Says:

    i want to see cheap red amethyst wedding dresses can you help me?

  25. Marina Says:

    Does anyone know who the maker was of the dress pictured above? If I know who made the dress I have a better chance of finding it. Thanks! mljurica@hotmail.com.

  26. Tina Says:

    I can’t find the picture anywhere online, but several years ago I saw the BEST red wedding dress ever - I think in Vogue magazine — that designer Zac Posen designed for his sister’s (?) wedding — It had a long, full ruffled train and I think it was strapless. I can’t find the pic anywhere, but if you can it was AWESOME!!

  27. Marina Says:

    5354 above under bridal gowns by christina I cannot find anywhere!! I tried this dress on two years ago and have a wedding date of 12/08. Can anyone tell me anything about that red strapless corset dress in the photo above!! Thank you so much!!

  28. Goya Says:

    My wedding was June 07. I designed my wedding and made the dresses. I found that finding that one article helps the brainstorm process. I love the color combo: red, black and white. It created a bold design like my personality. The pieces that I fell in love with was on the flower girl sash…the black beaded organza ribbon and the red lace that I used to make the vest for my red dress. Try www.cymbelineusa.com for inspiration. Collection 2007

  29. Megan Says:

    I found this dress on a chinese website but I am skeptical of purchasing it all the way from China. Anyone ever see it in the US or on any other websites? Please help! I really LOVE this dress! :x

    I am trying to find a wedding dress i saw on the internet a few months ago. The picture was of a lady standing with her back to us, wearing a red and white wedding dress, long red train but the top body was white, lovely red sequens aswell. cannot locate the site to find it again. Pleasde help, email me Lindsay20@hotmail.com

  49. FavorIdeas Says:

    Makayla’s gorgeous, isn’t it. Also sought-after, discontinued and hard to find. It shows up on ebay sometimes: try putting together a search subscription so ebay will tell you if someone’s selling it. Or, order a Designer Replica from a shop that specializes in them.

  50. Angie Says:

    for whoever posted the “Makayla” gown by Maggie Sottero do you know what collection/ year that dress was made?? I have fallen in love with this dress and have had NO luck finding it.
    Please help!!

  51. Cheriese Says:

    Thanks so much, red is my favorite color and you helped me in my quest for a beautiful red Wedding Gown.
