Fabulous Red Wedding Accessories
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. Take a look at the most glamorous crimson wedding accessories.
Many brides love red, but do not feel daring enough to choose a red wedding dress. Red wedding accessories are the stylish but safe alternative to wearing an entirely crimson wedding dress. One easy idea is to put a crimson sash on your wedding dress. Putting a sash over a bridal gown is a piece of cake. Some of the most popular fabrics for sashes include satin, taffeta, and shantung. While a sheer sash can be very romantic, the red color will not be as bold.
Dashes of red in the bride’s jewelry set are a beautiful way to bring in some color. 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. If your style is more simple, choose the matching heart pendant rather than a dramatic necklace.
One of the most fun ways to add color to a white wedding gown is with bright shoes. Be chic and interesting, yet still look elegant – perfect. Most people won’t see your red shoes until the reception, but you will feel so glamorous knowing they are there! Select shoes in an elegant material, such as satin or brocade. Choose your favorite style of shoe – just make sure it is bright red. You will definitely wear these shoes again after the wedding!
A very unexpected idea for spicing up your wedding gown with a red detail is to wear a red petticoat under your dress. Choose an all red crinoline if your gown’s material is thick enough to conceal it, or a white one with a crimson ruffle if the red would tint your gown pink. It will be a very fun detail peeking out as you dance. When your gown is bustled, the red petticoat will peek out a bit in the back – ooh la la. What a sassy little surprise under a traditional white gown!
There are dozens of additional ways to add red touches to your wedding gown. Other possibilities include pinning a red brooch to the waist of your wedding gown or wearing a red flower in your hair. There is no question that these special accents will help you feel truly fabulous on your wedding day.
