The other night I had a dream that I was getting married and walked down the isle in this AMAZING deep red wedding gown.  Everything about this wedding dress was pure luscious eye candy!  Yes, the dream was surely jumping the gun, seeing as I’m not even dating anyone- but isn’t that the fun of dreams?  Anyway, I woke up totally excited about this dress!  I went online to google red wedding gowns and see if I could locate the dress.  Although I couldn’t find my dream red wedding gown, I was surprised at what I did find…. Apparently red wedding dresses are the new white in Europe, which makes complete sense.   The history of the white wedding gown is not something that really relates to most modern women.  So it’s nice to know that the modern bride can choose just about any color dress she wants- a dress which compliments her skin, hair and eye color, and still feel like a goddess on her wedding day!  Keep your eyes out, because I’m sure that before long, we’ll be seeing more and more brides choosing bold dress colors for their big day.  Surely, I’ll be donning that custom merlot-red dress I saw in my dream if I ever get married!
