Striking Red Bridal Accents

If you want to add instant drama to your wedding gown, try adding pops of bright red. There is no better way to make a statement. These are some of the most fabulous red wedding accessories for brides.

As much as they might fantasize about waltzing down the aisle in a scarlet gown, in the end, the majority of women opt for a classic white bridal gown. Red wedding accessories are the stylish but safe alternative to wearing an entirely crimson wedding dress. You can add a splash of red in a flash by accenting a white bridal gown with a scarlet sash. Adding a sash is one of the simplest wedding gowns changes to make. Taffeta, shantung, and satin all work well for making sashes. Sheer fabrics such as chiffon can be used for sahes, but you will lose some of the intensity of the red.

Certainly plan on wearing bridal jewelry with touches of your signature hue. A pair of red crystal heart earrings would add both color and romance to a bridal gown. The crystal heart earrings are great because you can wear them again for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or anytime you want a romantic accessory. Pair the earrings with a stunning strand of crystals in the same shade of red for a striking set of wedding jewelry. Another option is to wear a delicate crystal heart pendant with the earrings.

One of the most fun ways to add color to a white wedding gown is with bright shoes. What’s great about this is that the fun detail will not detract from a classic bridal look. The fun thing about scarlet shoes is that they are not very noticeable when you walk down the aisle, but people will love them once they notice them! Fabric shoes are best for a bride. Indulge in a pair of crimson shoes with a sexy shape. Unlike a pair of white pumps, your fabulous red shoes will be something you will look forward to wearing for many future occasions!

A unique way to bring some red into your outfit is to swap out the basic white petticoat for a one in a rich scarlet color. Just be sure that the material of your bridal gown is opaque so the scarlet hue doesn’t show through it. The flashes of red will look fantastic when you do your first dance at the reception. When your gown is bustled, the red petticoat will peek out a bit in the back – ooh la la. That will be a delightful surprise that no one would have expected!

There are dozens of additional ways to add red touches to your wedding gown. It could be a red pashmina to wear for the reception, a red silk evening bag to hold your lipstick, or even a red garter. With details this amazing, any bride will feel glamorous and sophisticated.
