The RED Dress

Yes, that' right folks, not everyone wants to wear white on their wedding day.  This is an ode to the red dress.  The color red invokes warmth, passion, energy and adventure.  What bride isn't up for that?  The color red governs the lowermost chakra situated at the base of the spine.  The red chakra beckons vitality, courage and self-confidence.

A red dress may not be for everyone, but being adorned with this sultry color on your wedding day makes for a fantastic entrance (and exit). 

If your wedding is in the fall, a red dress fits right in with the season.

While in countries like Ireland and India, red wedding gowns are just as (or even more) popular as white, in the U.S., it's becoming less taboo to wear any color other than the traditional white wedding dress.  Chalk it up to the U.S.' puritanical origins.

What does the color red mean to you?  If you've already gotten married in a red wedding dress, Handfastings Magazine would love to hear from you (and see pics, too!).  So let's cut to the chase:  here is some eye candy for your viewing pleasure.

Good article! Red dresses do make much more of an entrance and exit. They're great for those of us who don't consider ourselves traditional brides, and don't like what white dresses symbolize in traditional marriages.

I wore a red leather dress custom made for me by Ayala - 19 years ago this September 9th. Before I'm am shamed about the leather - that was way before I became enlightened about such things as animal cruelty - but it was RED!
