Wedding dress: white, black or red?

Kirsten, on March 21, 2019 at 22:29 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 17

So I am having a kinda dark, gothic masquerade kinda theme. Colours being black, Red, and gold

I am so conflicted about the colour of my wedding dress. I am debating between the traditional white and the more out there black or red. I love them all and they all fit with the theme.

what do all you guys think?

    Don't focus on the colour until you are out trying on the dresses, this way you don't limit yourself or your ideas about dresses and you can see what you prefer at that time.

    Since you said you like them all, don’t decide on a colour yet. Try on each colour, ones with each colour as accents. You could be surprised with what you actually like! I love the look of white/ivory dresses with an accent colour, but didn’t end up liking any of them on me!

    I'm not a fan of sleeves either, I would get the sleeves altered off or something personally.

    I plan to have a crown and a long cathedral veil so I'm not worried about standing out.

    This dress is gorgeous, the sleeves are not my cup of tea but I love the rest of the dress.

    Me too! If I was more daring/going for a dark theme, I would definitely wear something like this!

    I really like the looks of the black wedding dress! Something like the one pictured with lots of lace definitely gives off that gothic/masquerade vibe you're going for!

    I knew a woman who did the same type of theme for her wedding. She had a dress with red accents and then did bold makeup. It was still a traditional white dress but with pops of colour.
    Or you could have a traditional dress for the ceremony and then a red or black one for the reception!

    I'd vote an ivory dress with a gothic feel to it (lots of lace!) and then accent with your other colours! Red shoes! Maybe a red/gold belt? Red/gold/black flowers, red lipstick, black/gold jewellery!

    Or maybe a white dress with black accents?

    At the end of the day it's whatever you want! Whatever will make you feel like a BRIDE!

    I want to say go red or black but the only concern I have there is that your wedding guests may also end up wearing red and black so how much do you want to stand out?

    I would go with what you love! There is no wrong answer Smiley smile

    Personally I would go with a black dress (I tend to wear a lot of black) they have some beautiful black wedding dresses out there Smiley laugh

    I've seen some amazing red wedding dresses.. It's totally up to you.. You could always have 2 dresses.. one could be dark and the other white - they don't necessarily even have to be wedding dresses since that could be costly.. You could get married in a simple white dress of some sort and then change into a black or red gown... If you love the dark dresses though then go for it.. Tradition shouldn't matter unless it matters to you.

    I think a red dress would be awesome with that theme!
