Add glamour to your wedding day ensemble with a flash of rich red on accessories, or be your dramatic best in a glittering scarlet gown
Words Libby Norman
Red is a surefire way to add standout appeal to your bridal ensemble and, of course, it’s a favoured choice for the bride herself at many Chinese and Indian weddings. From the boldest lipstick shades to rich velvety hues, this is a colour associated with good fortune, so whether you choose a bold accent or opt for an edgy scarlet gown, lady luck is sure to be on your side.
