There is something sexy about a gal in red. All ladies have a streak of adventure in them. Choosing a sexy red wedding dress shows a sense of adventure and assertiveness for a bride on her wedding day.
Red wedding dresses have gained popularity for the braver sophisticated bride over the more conservative white wedding dress.
When choosing a red wedding dress, there are endless accessories to literally set off the glamor and appeal of the red. If the red veil looks a little much, a good choice would be a soft cream or pearl color. You can dress up with flashy jewelry or just a simple pendant. As for shoes, since red comes in so many shades, I would advise dying the shoes to match the color of the dress.
As for the bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, and mother of bride dresses, several color options will work. The same shade of red as the wedding dress or a different shade of red that will accent the red in the wedding dress. Black is also a good alternative. A black and red combination is very nice.
Whatever color you choose for the attendants, your sexy red wedding dress will light up the room and tell people you are in control of your life.
As you, a plus size mother of the bride begin your quest for your plus size mother of bride dress, are more than likely thinking you won’t find anything sexy or glamourous that will fit your body.
Well, think again. Plus size mother of bride dresses are being made just as sexy and glamourous as any other mother of bride dress. There are sites online that have a great collection and a lot of your specialty shops will carry these gorgeous dresses.
Look for a dress that is not form fitting with maybe a scoop neck to show off just enough of your bust, thin layers of chiffon fabric to overlap over the waist and hip area, and the skirt flowing around your ankles. You will be a big hit.
A few days ago, a lady came into my Boutique looking for a very particular Mother of Bride dress. I quizzed her on what style she was looking for. She was very vague. Something casual, yet dressy.
She tried on several dresses, but not any of them was what she was wanting. She just kept saying “this is not the look that I want”.
We were about ready to give up when she blurted out “I’m going to be barefooted. Aha! I had the perfect outfit.
I chose a multi colored skirt with muted colors of orange, yellow and two shades of green. The ankle length skirt was made of sheer 100% rayon slightly crinkled with mock pleats. It was lined with a soft yellow fabric. A ribbon border adorned the hem line. The skirt flowed around her ankles and gave a dress up or dress down appearance.
For the top I used a pale yellow cami underneath a three quarter sheer waist length jacket/shirt of the same pale yellow. The lady was thrilled and looked absolutely gorgeous in the outfit.
