What are Valentine’s Day Dresses?

First of all, what are Valentine’s Day dresses? If you’re a bride who wants to feel like Cupid on her wedding day, we suggest ditching the diaper and bow and arrow for your wedding and opting for a gown that has something like this below instead:

Something in a pink or red hue.
A wedding dress with romantic details like soft ruffles, classic laces, elegant beading, and a sweetheart neckline (wink, wink).
A gown that takes maximalism to the max! Think couture bows, voluminous skirts, and sparkles all around.

Don’t just take it from us though! Meet Racheal: one of our Real Brides who wore the daring Scarlet by Maggie Sottero in Valentine’s red. Keep reading for all the must-have tips on how to rock an unconventional color choice on your big day!

How to Rock a Red Wedding Dress: Scarlet by Maggie Sottero

Bride In Valentines Day Dresses Called Scarlet By Maggie Sottero With Sparkly Boots, Fur Shawl, And Groom

PC: Autumn Lane

Why did you choose to wear a red wedding dress rather than go with the traditional colorways of white and ivory?

“As soon as I put on the red (which is the perfect shade of red by the way) I just knew nothing else would compare. This was my second wedding, so I did not feel a need to conform to any wedding standards. I chose what spoke to my soul.”

What was your favorite aspect of wearing Scarlet by Maggie Sottero and how did the fit make you feel?

“This dress made me feel beautiful… and the red made me feel sexy. It highlighted everything I loved about my body.”

How did you accessorize this gown?

“I knew this dress was amazing and the shoes had to pop, especially with the slit… To accessorize, I added rhinestone boots and a matching fur shawl for warmth since it was in the middle of winter. I also added some snowflake jewelry items as well.”

How did your partner, bridal entourage, and guests react to you choosing a red dress?

“They LOVED it. My now husband was shocked and even cried a little. He is a stoic and strong man and seeing that little bit of emotion was huge! And our children just kept telling me how pretty I looked (coming from teenagers it meant a lot). My dress was red, and everyone wore black and white. It was perfect!”

Do you have any advice for brides who are thinking of going untraditional but are nervous to take the jump?

“This is your day, do what feels right for you and your soon-to-be spouse. It might not be what others envision for you, and that is ok. What makes the two of you happy? This is a new chapter in your life and should reflect the two of you.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! If you’ve been inspired to wear an unconventional wedding color, keep scrolling to see our other Valentine’s Day dresses to fall in love with!
