The Valentine Bride in Red

Red wedding gown by designer Ian Stuart

February 14, Valentine's Day makes a spectacular theme wedding.

Designer Ian Stuart's bride, pictured above, seems to have stepped out of a nineteenth century painting by Winterhalter, the extravagance of her gown intensified by the use of the color red. The theatricality of the design aesthetic makes it clear that today's wedding dresses are for one day and one day only.

Stuart's red wedding gown is featured in the book I Do ... 100 Years of Wedding Fashion by Caroline Cox (Wilson-Guptill Publication). Visit U.K. award-wining designer Ian Stuart at www.ianstuart-bride.com.The décor ideas are numerous and because the day already has a celebration of love. - SW
Do's/Don'ts: Valentine Gown & Dress Accessories

Do’s
1. Do add something RED to your ensemble. A red garter, a fantastic matte red lipstick, or a classic bouquet of red roses is a perfect way to give a nod to the day of love.
2. Do make a fabulous Valentine’s Day play list as a wedding favor. Think classics. Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Curtis. Everytime your guests have a listen, they’ll remember the most romantic way they ever  spent Valentine’s Day.
3. Do add a Valentine’s Day candy bar. It is the ultimate day to indulge in candy. Heart shaped red velvet mini cakes, Godiva Truffles, Red Jelly Beans in beautiful crystal displays. Adding a bit of whimsy to this extra romantic day is key.
4. Do have your bridesmaids wear pink or red dresses. A gorgeous burgundy satin, or pale oyster taffeta are tasteful options for their ensemble.
5. Do set the mood for your Valentine’s Day Wedding. Opt for old Hollywood Glamour with candles, deep romantic tones, and an elegant lighting scheme. You definitely want to make the day romantic for everyone.
 
Don’ts
1. Don’t wear red undergarments. Nobody wants to see that.
2. Don’t be too cheesy with cupid decorations. Keep it tasteful and elegant.  
3. Don’t buy heart shaped balloons. It’s not a prom.
4. Don’t drink too much red wine on the big day. Red stain on white dress is no bueno!
5. Don’t forget that it’s your wedding day first and foremost. Have fun.

Red ruffles by Thien Le


What a perfect day to wear red, shades of red or red accessories with a white gown including your bouquet or change into a red party dress for your reception. The Sweetheart neckline for wedding dresses is a natural for this holiday. It is low-cut and resembles the rounded curves of a heart. - SW
