New Trend: Red Wedding Gowns?

Would you wear a red wedding dress? For brides across the globe, the traditional color of bridal dresses is something white. We know that white wedding gowns are exceptionally gorgeous and perfect for a bride to stand out on her wedding day.

However, the introduction of wearing red wedding gowns by well-known clothing designers added excitement in the wedding fashion industry. Simply put, red has come out as a surprising trend for spring 2013. After all, there are many brides who are willing to take a fashion risk these days.

We are aware that white bridal outfits are classic, timelessly elegant and clean-looking. But there are well-known designers who prefer to focus on red-hued gowns. For spring 2013, Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and Romona Kevesa flaunted a set of red wedding gowns that are obviously perfect for brides. The creations of Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta are our favorite fashion pieces.

Vera Wang didn’t show off one white gown this season’s runway shows. She went even bolder with all red bridal dresses. Wang’s latest collection, which she translated in the runways as “beautiful dream”, is obviously anti-traditionalist and remarkably stunning.

Oscar de la Renta also rocked the fashion world with his fabulous bridal collection last season. The famed fashion designer showcased rich red gowns on the runway. Making a splash in the wedding industry, he also completed his collection with flowered gowns, bridal pantsuits and ivory classics.

Vera Wang on the Spot!

Her dresses are so fabulous! She makes it look so effortless!

Vera Wang was born Vera Ellen Wang to parents of Chinese descent. She was born and raised in New York City where she now lives with her husband. She is married to Arthur Becker, the former CEO of NaviSite, an IT services company.

Vera Wang trained as a figure skater at the age of six. She left the sport after she failed to make it to the US Olympics Team. Good for her (at least that’s what we think), because if she hadn’t left, we wouldn’t have this iconic designer that we know now. She graduated from The Chapin School and soon attended the University of Paris where she earned a degree in art history. She spent seventeen years as a senior fashion editor for Vogue, after which she left when she was turned down for the position of editor-in-chief, a position which Anna Wintour holds until today.

She began her career by opening a design salon in New York City’s Carlyle Hotel which featured her creations which were mostly bridal gowns. To date, she has designed costumes for figure skaters as well as evening wear. Michelle Obama is one notable patron of hers.

Despite her prominence in pop culture, Vera Wang is renowned for her bridal collection, a trademark since she opened her first store in New York City. She has made wedding gowns for Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman, and Kate Hudson, among others.

Her collection boasts of light colors, often pastels and off-whites with details such as ruffles and satin belts and ribbons. What you would notice about her designs is that they are delicate, but they do not go as far as being superbly sweet. Vera Wang manages to infuse a bit of modern design such as shapely silhouettes and craftsmanship into the traditional forms of her bridal collection.
