Second Time Bride: Red Dresses

August 5, 2014 By Sage 5 Comments

In my mind’s eye I saw a crystal clear vision of me as a December bride.  It was always going to be a red dress, a white faux fur, my Christian Louboutins, and a hand-tied bouquet of white roses.

Red is my color!  I drive a red car.  I ride a red bike.  The soles of my favorite shoes are red.  My favorite dress is red.  I wear red lipstick. My next Louis Vuitton handbag will be red.  As colors go, I can’t ask for a more kindred spirit than red.

But do I want to get married in Gibraltar, in red, without a faux fur?  Truth be told, one of the reasons I wanted a December wedding was so I could wear a red dress and white faux fur… the whole outfit hinges on the fur.

While I’m trying to sort out with myself whether I still want to get married in red despite the fact that Gibraltar is hot and there won’t be a faux fur in sight, I’ll leave you with my top choices for red wedding dresses…

Secondtime Red Valentino Wedding Dress

Let’s start with this little red Valentino!  It’s got my favorite a-line silhouette and an open back, which would be perfect in the Gibraltar heat, but I can’t decide how I feel about the ruffles.  I’m not a very ruffly girl, but they’re Valentino ruffles ;-)

Secondtime Red Wedding Dress

This dress lacks a designer pedigree, but its curve-hugging style and fabric is a combo that works almost too well on my hourglass figure.  However, I don’t want to risk giving the good Dr. a heart attack before he says, “I do.”

Secondtime Red Gucci Wedding Dress
Remember that Gucci dress?  It comes in red!!!
Secondtime Red Wedding Dress
Another classic silhouette by a no name designer.  My sweet sister has offered to make me a white shawl to go with this one, which could make it the warm climate adaptation of my original outfit.
Secondtime Red Prada Wedding Dress
Prada, in my color, in a classic early 60’s silhouette!
Secondtime Red Armani Wedding Dress
Armani!  

OK, this dress would be 100 kinds of wrong on me, but I had to post it because if a dress could be dessert, it would look like this…. isn’t it delicious?

    They’re all classy but I love the first one. You could easily pull it off, ruffles and all :).

    I like the second one – the heart attack dress – but understand you’d like to make it to the honeymoon :) But I really love the Prada dress.

    Hi there! This time it’s the Prada I’m voting for! (But because I’m sentimental, I’d probably go with the one my sister offered to knit me a shawl for — but I don’t have a sister! So overly sentimental about such & don’t listen to me.)

    I have always wanted to get married in red & in a candlelight ceremony in the midst of a dark winter’s night, so I like your description of what a handfasting could be. Never mind, I can’t stay up much past the dinner hour, especially when it is the season to hibernate… And, I’m already happily married, so passed that idea up long ago. But a girl has to have her fantasies, no? Please wear red! Such a fabulous color!

    (I think I see that you stopped by my spot, which is why I am here yet again today. But I truly hope you didn’t stop by and see my mess while I was struggling with my rhapsody of the color blue! I sometimes post, then edit heavily! Not sure if does any good.)

    Now we’re talking! :) Prada, Gucci, or HeartAttack. Short of seeing you in them, the only question is which one looks and feels so good on that you will want to wear again and again, and is as versatile as you would like in order to have opportunities to wear it. (The Prada is truly lovely and appears to be the most versatile.)

    To that end, the other no-name would be very versatile with many ways to style it, but the photo doesn’t “sell” it – at least not without you in it.

    Valentino… no making excuses for ruffles!
    Try on the Armani and shake and twirl just for fun.

    Thanks for sharing!

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
