This beautiful ballgown by Reem Acra is jaw-droppingly beautiful. It is a perfect blend of princess and goddess with its delicate lace off-shoulder top and its bold red silk skirt. We love the contrast the lace poses against the striking red skirt.

2. Ruffles galore

This Giambattista Valli couture gown is exquisite. We love the bright red color and the layered georgette ruffled skirt. The color is youthful, and will look beautiful in a spring or summer wedding. The ruffles add a high-fashion element to the over-the-top dress.

3. Drop dead gorgeous

This masterpiece by fashion genius, Vera Wang, is going to make you the talk of the town for at least a decade after you wear this at your wedding! This is probably what Goddesses wear to the prom. We can’t get enough of the blood red color and the gorgeous princess-ballgown skirt! Oh, and don’t even get us started on the enchanting floral detail on the top and the sleeves. We love how the sheer fabric blends so perfectly with the skin that it looks as though she has a beautiful red vine growing on her. Wear a nude corset underneath to cover the girls or, if you’re brave, forego one completely for a bold bridal look.

4. The one with the cape

This Zac Posen creation in a rich Bordeaux shade of red is simple and chic… and has a cape. We like the contemporary slim fit of the dress and the contrasting almost-vintage cowl neckline. On its own, the dress is chic and stylish. But with that gorgeous trailing cape, this dress goes from being a pretty dress to a something with a lot more va-va-voom!

5. Red and regal

This dress by Ziad Nakad simply oozes class and sophistication. Channel your inner queen of goddesses in this exquisite red wedding dress. We can’t get enough of the sheer and silk top with just enough peek-a-boo action. The lace detailing that extends into the straight-fit skirt is intricate and one of a kind. We love the knee-high slit in the front and the big red silk-taffeta skirt that covers the side and the back of the dress, which give this dress two completely different looks, depending on whether you look at it from the front or the back. The cap sleeves and slim belt add a young and modern touch to the dress.

6. Boho chic bride

Don’t want anything with intricate lace detailing or big skirts? No problem. Go for a forest nymph look with this beguiling chiffon wedding dress with a crocheted top. This dress would be a perfect pick for a beach wedding, where a poofy skirt could be uncomfortable and impractical. We love the chiffon skirt with delicate ruffles and the unique crochet work on the top. The wide v-neck and the three-quarter sleeves make this dress modern and fun. Ditch the veil for a fresh flower crown, and be the most beautiful boho-chic bride to ever walk down the aisle!!

7. The glittering bride

This deep red dress by Zuhair Murad looks like something out of a dark Disney film. What DON’T we love about this dress? The style of the dress is a typical ballgown dress that is a hot favorite among brides who want a fairy tale wedding. The off-shoulder semi-sheer bodice is feminine and bold. The glitter on the bodice, trailing down on to the skirt makes the dress look ethereal. But the one bit that has made us fall in love with this dress is the fact that it has POCKETS! Could this dress BE any more perfect?

8. One-shoulder dress

This dress by Marchesa is a classic wedding dress, in a bold color. That’s what is so awesome about it. We love the sheer fabric and the one-shoulder neckline. The wide pleated belt and the semi-twisted drape on the hip add a modern and quirky element to this classic beauty.

9. The Goth bride

Three words – Dior Haute Couture. If you think wearing a red wedding dress will not be dramatic enough, why not try this avant garde high-fashion ombré wedding dress? This dress is a piece of art. We can’t get enough of the pleated ruffles that go from a luscious red to an all-consuming black.

10. Embellished shoulders

This structured silk gown is absolutely captivating. We love the classy pleated skirt and the three-quarter sleeves. The heavily embellished shoulders make the dress look like an ornate armor of sorts. Just like something a warrior goddess would wear, no?

11. Ruffles and layers

This dress by Vera Wang is bold and one of a kind. We love the bright crimson color of the dress, the eccentric tulle ruffles, and the frayed batiste layering of the skirt. Nothing about this dress is conventional and that’s why it is so badass. The ruffles are vertical and asymmetrical, and the layers are frayed and ragged. The dress has a corset-style bodice which adds an element of sensuality to this quirky wedding dress.

12. The bootyful bride

This figure-hugging mermaid wedding dress by Zac Posen is too sexy for words. Flaunt that gorgeous booty that you’ve painstakingly done a couple hundred squats a day for! We love the fluidity the chiffon brings, especially with the flared layers at the bottom. Also, the low back drape, attached to the wire-thin straps, simply add to the sensuality of this captivating dress. Needless to say, your significant other will not be able to keep their hands off you on your wedding day (not that anybody’s complaining).

13. The Greek goddess

Channel your inner Greek goddess in this Valentino wedding dress. The dress is pretty conservative in terms of style and cut, but there is something so bold and hardcore about this dress. Be the high-fashion bride that everybody’s in awe of, in this luscious red dress. The crew neck and stiff shoulders are very edgy and young while the flowy poncho-style cape and the clean and beautifully constructed skirt give this dress a Greek goddess vibe.

14. The leather dress

Well, this Zuhair Murad creation isn’t exactly a wedding dress per se, but can you imagine how beautiful you’d look walking down the aisle wearing this rust colored piece of art? Krysten Ritter has the fierce superhero role down pat, especially in this dress that looks like leather armor for a warrior queen. The crystal embellishments on the deep neckline and back add elements of extravagance and sexiness to the dress. And as soon as you start walking, the beautiful georgette bits of the skirt come into view, instantly making the dress a billion times more feminine and exquisite.

15. The trumpet-style dress

The trumpet-style wedding dress is a brilliant choice if you wish to flaunt your curves. This dark red dress by Vera Wang exudes sophistication and confidence. The form fitted-silk body is super chic, while the tulle ruffle detail on the flare bottom and the one-shoulder sleeve add a larger-than-life feel to the dress. The embellishments on the waist are dainty and make the waist look tiny.

16. The embroidered dress

This dull red wedding dress by Jenny Packham is absolutely breath-taking. We’re obsessed with the beautifully intricate golden embroidery done all over the dress. The sheer fabric with the satin underlay is a pretty and conservative touch. The delicate detailing and the A-line silhouette of the dress give it an almost angelic feel.

17. Cut-outs

This scarlet creation by Naeem Khan is for the modern bride who isn’t afraid of taking fashion risks. The bright red color is a hard shade to pull off, but if you succeed, then you will go down in history as the fiercest bride ever. We can’t get enough of the edgy cut-outs at the waist and the sexy keyhole, all in contrast with the gorgeous attached cape that keeps the dress from looking too sexy. The front slit is a sexy and contemporary touch as well.

18. The modern ballgown

Elie Saab has managed to combine traditional and modern fashion in this gorgeous silk taffeta ballgown. The intricate embroidery and beading pose in contrast with the modern clean and stiff structure of the dress and the semi-boat neckline. Also, POCKETS. We really can’t get enough of beautiful wedding gowns with pockets that you can keep snacks in (for emergencies, of course)!

19. Edgy princess Barbie bride

Yet another striking creation by fashion mogul Vera Wang. This bright red organza dress is the stuff of legends. It’s probably what Barbie would wear if she was a butt-kicking, name-taking princess. We love the fluffy layers that look almost too princessy until you see the underlying tulle ruffles that break the overly perfect layering on the skirt. Similarly, the organza overlay on the classic sweetheart neckline adds some edge to this jaw-dropping dress.

This Giambattista Valli dress is absolutely stunning. You will be a sight to behold when you walk down the aisle in this deep red chiffon dress with that edgy oversized bow attached to the high-neck collar. We love the modern and chic A-line silhouette of the dress and the fluidity that the chiffon brings to the outfit. The lack of embellishments and intricate lace detail on this dress is what makes it so edgy and chic.

Red wedding dresses are bold and breath-taking, and they are making waves across the fashion industry. Ditch the plain and boring white for some va-va-voom in a gorgeous red wedding dress that people will talk about for years to come!
