Wearing a bold red wedding dress would be nothing new in China where it has long been a tradition, but brides all over the globe are now picking up this fashion trend as well. If you are ready to ditch the boring white and jazz up your big day with something more suiting to your exuberant personality, then you may be considering a red wedding. That is great news, as long as you know the common mistakes that are often made.

Before you shrug your shoulders and assume that planning a wedding with lots of red is just the same as planning any other wedding, you need to consider some of the biggest pitfalls that other brides often stumble on. Since red is so bright and vibrant, it can very easily be overdone.

You never want to overdo a wedding! That can completely ruin everything else you have so carefully designed.

The first common mistake involves matching your wedding dress to your personality. We already covered that red is a very vibrant color, and for that reason it will not look right if you are a very quiet, reserved person and everyone in the audience knows that. You want your dress to match your personality and highlight your beauties.
