Red wedding dresses might seem to be an unlikely choice, but red is becoming increasingly popular in wedding attire. White is still regarded as traditional for weddings, of course, but red is a bold alternative that’s full of personality. Red wedding dresses give ceremonies a brilliant twist and keep the spotlight where it belongs.

Many of the same considerations for picking a traditional white gown—for example, fit, style, and material—apply to a red wedding dress, too. For weddings in cool months, long-sleeved red wedding dresses in heavy materials such as velvet provide warmth while looking luxuriously regal. In spring and summer, sleeveless and short-sleeved dresses in lightweight materials such as silk, taffeta, and tulle weave a floaty, ethereal look.


The shade is important when choosing a red wedding dress. Look for a scarlet hue that complements your skin tone and hair color. Brunettes glow in red. Go bold with cherry red or sophisticated with maroon, wine, or burgundy. Blondes look fabulous in red, too. Dark shades work well for warm, honey-toned blondes, whereas softer red shades flatter light blondes. And, despite the old wives’ tale, redheads can wear red! Dark red gowns harmonize with warm red hair; bright red dresses complement cool red tresses.

On Etsy, you’ll find a multitude of red wedding dress styles to suit your taste and scheme.


  • A mermaid-style gown with a form-fitting bodice and dramatic flare from the knee emphasizes curves.
  • Want a fairy-tale look? Choose a red wedding gown with an A-line or full ballgown shape to make you feel like the princess you are.
  • A red lace dress with a fitted bodice is an elegant option.


If you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind dress, work with an independent designer on Etsy to create the custom red wedding dress of your dreams.
