Are you a passionate bride with a flair for the dramatic? Want to turn heads by being a little more va-va-voom than prim and proper? Many brides are choosing red wedding dresses that show off their personalities, their curves and their general badassery. 

Here are 13 brides that rocked their red wedding dresses:

All eyes were definitely on this bride as she walked down the aisle in this electric combination of red and blue! (She even managed to get her groom to color coordinate with her, albeit in a more understated way.)

The voluminous skirt on this wedding gown is perfect for twirling at the reception… or posing for pouty photo shoots in a kitchen.

This bride knows when the reception’s over, the guests will hate to see her go… but they’ll love to watch her walk away. 

After seeing these cardinal-colored gowns, you might be inspired to throw your own kind of red wedding. (Just hopefully not a Game of Thrones kind of way!)
