Signs about a wedding dress - how to walk down the aisle correctly

Is it possible to buy a wedding dress in advance?

Those who believe in wedding superstitions argue that you cannot wear or buy a wedding dress until you submit an application to the registry office. In Russia this is at least 2 months. Many who purchased a dress in advance were faced with the fact that the relationship ended immediately after the purchase, and the groom left without any explanation at all.

It is better to choose a dress in less than a month. So it won't bring trouble. The same applies to buying a suit for the groom.

What color should a wedding dress be?

Almost all girls believe in omens about the color of a wedding dress, since it contains a certain energy that affects the well-being of life together. The traditional color has always been white, symbolizing the purity of the girl and her innocence.

However, some ladies are moving away from tradition, preferring to wear a wedding dress in other colors. Here's what the colors mean:

  • Gold. It brings prosperity and good luck. If a girl wears a golden robe to a wedding, married life will begin with career success and financial well-being.
  • Pink. Means love, romantic feelings and tenderness. Promotes a happy, long-lasting union. But some argue that wearing a pink outfit can cause money problems for spouses.
  • Silver or grey. You should not choose this color for a wedding dress. According to superstitions, it will lead to a quick separation of the couple or to regular quarrels due to misunderstanding.
  • Beige or ivory. Wedding clothes of this color can bring regular discord and betrayal to the newlyweds.
  • Red wedding dress. In the pre-Christian era, it was believed that a bride in red was protected from the evil eye and bad thoughts. This bright color indicates wisdom and a passionate nature. But some associate red shades with war. This means that the relationship between spouses can be too emotional and conflictual.
  • Orange is the color of respect among people around, relatives, friends who listen to both spouses.
  • Blue. Means sincere, honest and pure relationships. Such a union is doomed to happiness and promises to be very strong due to the absence of secrets between the spouses.
  • The blue dress represents the indifference of one spouse to the opinion of the other, the rapid cooling of feelings, and problems with finances.
  • Violet. Beliefs about wedding attire of this color vary. According to one, the couple will soon separate. Another speaks of the great affection and love of the spouses.
  • Green. A light green dress will lead to a modest but prosperous union, without great financial benefits.
  • Brown outfit. It can bring grief to marital relationships and sudden divorce. As a result, the former spouses will begin the long process of dividing up common property.
  • Black dress. In many countries it is a mourning color. If you wear an outfit of this color to a wedding ceremony, it will lead to an unhappy life in tears. It is also possible that there will be early widowhood and problems with the woman’s mental balance immediately after the celebration.

The shade of the wedding attire is selected depending on the number of marriages. For the first wedding, it is customary to wear a light-colored dress. For second and subsequent weddings, many choose outfits of other colors.

Which style to choose

The color of the wedding dress matters a lot, but what model the newlywed chooses is also important. What signs are associated with the style of wedding attire?

  • The longer the dress, the longer the married life will be. This encourages many brides to give preference to models with an impressive train.
  • A girl who gets married in a short dress makes her marriage short-lived and unhappy.
  • The decoration must be complete. If the salon offers to purchase a top and a skirt, refuse this option, it promises a quick separation of the married couple.
  • Remember that the bride is a model of chastity and innocence. You should not wear an outfit with an overly revealing neckline or an open back to the buttocks, otherwise you may become the object of the evil eye.

Signs associated with the style of the bride's dress

Some newlyweds associate their future life together with the style of their wedding dress. According to beliefs, her well-being is influenced by the length and model of the dress:

Other wedding signs about the bride's dress

Is it possible to sell a wedding dress - signs

Wedding attire must be new. Things that have already been used by someone, connected with special, important events in the life of every woman, carry someone else’s energy. This energy is not always positive. Someone else's dress can attract all the problems that exist or existed in the family of the woman who got married in it before you. And if this dress is from a rental, then there may be many such families.

Even if the friend from whom you are borrowing a dress is happily married, you should not forget that you may simply not know everything that is happening in someone else’s family. The most serious problems are caused by a dress that was given to you with a feeling of envy. Your friend, unwittingly jealous that her time to have fun in a fluffy white dress has passed, can ruin your life.

If your dress is torn during the wedding ceremony, whether it is your fault or not, this is a bad omen. It means that you will have conflicts with your mother-in-law. A button that comes off portends a quarrel between you and your husband. To avoid this, sew it immediately with two stitches. By the way, there should be an even number of buttons on a wedding dress or none at all.

There is a widely known sign that the groom should not be shown in a wedding dress before the ceremony. It is believed that the marriage will not take place or will quickly fall apart. Therefore, they even choose the bride’s outfit without the participation of the future husband.

Before the wedding or marriage registration, the bride should not see herself in the mirror in full dress. This is very easy to do - put on one of the gloves after you've had enough of admiring yourself.

The bride cannot put her dress on over her legs. Dress only over your head if you want to create a strong family. Relatives or friends should dress, and this should not happen in the house where the bride lived before marriage. This could be the home of your relative or family friends. It’s good if a woman who has been happily married for at least seven years helps you get dressed. Then happiness awaits you too.

Trying to straighten a bride's clothes at a wedding is considered a symbol of invasion of privacy.


Before dressing the bride, clothes should not be ironed by the bride herself or her mother. It's better to ask one of your friends.

Is it possible to wear a used outfit to a wedding?

Many girls are interested in whether it is possible to rent a wedding dress or buy it second-hand. The outfit must be bought new. Otherwise, due to savings, there is a high risk of debt formation in the life of a married couple.

A dress purchased from another person can transmit the negative energy of a girl who has already been married in it.

You can try to cleanse it with a candle purchased from the church and holy water. This way the bride will protect herself from bad words that could be said on the dress.


A huge charge of positive energy is given into the wedding attire, which is sewn by yourself, by a close friend, sister or mother.

How to choose such an extravagant dress for the bride?

In the event that a girl nevertheless opted for the color red, then she needs to think through everything carefully so that the image is impeccable. Otherwise, she risks looking ridiculous and tasteless.

First, you should decide on the color, because there are not so few red shades (coral, burgundy, cherry and others). It’s good if the robe combines two colors: darker and lighter.

The choice of shade also depends on your body type and appearance. Girls with curvy figures should pay attention to dark tones. Blonde brides will suit muted shades, but brunettes can safely wear a dress with brighter colors. Accessories should be selected to match the color of the dress or its trim.

Summer and winter color types are cold. That is why girls with this appearance should choose red in cool shades. Brides belonging to the winter color type can choose bright red (spectral). For those with black hair, a deep dark red color (ripe cherry) is suitable.

Women with summer and winter looks look good in a dress of burgundy, cherry, raspberry and so on. Summer girls should give preference to dusty red or red-pink.

For blondes who belong to the spring color type, warm shades of red are very suitable: rowan, tomato, a mixture of red and orange. These shades will highlight natural beauty well.

Spring girls (red-haired beauties) will look amazing in a dress of brick, rusty red shades. Scarlet and rowan also have a place.

If you are going to get married modestly, without a celebration, then this dress option is perfect for you. Its advantage is that it is, one might say, universal. It can easily be worn to various evening events, which, of course, cannot be done with the classic white option.

It is worth remembering that a red wedding dress will definitely attract double attention to the bride, so she should be prepared for this. And perhaps your choice will not suit everyone, which will cause a lot of gossip. It’s also worth preparing for this.

Signs about the wedding dress after the celebration

A woman can wear a dress throughout her life, but she cannot rent it to other brides for money. It is also forbidden for girls, especially unmarried ones, to try it on, as this will lead to quarrels between spouses. The same rule applies to other accessories. They are put in a separate box and put away.

Many people think that it is better to sell a wedding dress after the wedding. However, according to belief, you can destroy your marriage in this way. This means that a piece of well-being is given to others. Previously, wedding dresses were passed down from mother to daughter. It was believed that they were the most powerful amulet of the family, especially if the spouses had lived happily ever after.

It was always forbidden to throw away or burn wedding clothes. This will negatively affect the relationship of a married couple. You can throw away the outfit only if the spouses are divorced. In this way, the girl rids herself of all the bad things she had.

If you are about to remarry, wearing an old dress is prohibited. The outfit can be any color except white, since the woman is no longer innocent. It is also better to replace the veil with a tiara, a stylish hat or veil.

Is it possible to get married in a red dress: signs

Today, brides are increasingly choosing this outfit option. And it doesn’t matter whether a woman is getting married for the first or second time. Although until recently, dresses other than white were worn by brides remarrying.

If the bride is superstitious, then she should pay attention to some beliefs. They came to us from ancient times:

  • The red color in the bride's attire can lead to conflicts in the family, since this shade, in addition to love, also means anger (if you really want to, it is recommended to wear it on the second day);
  • red is a protective color, so its presence is recommended in the outfit of a pregnant bride (in this case, you should give preference to a combination of white and red to reduce its aggressiveness).

If a girl does not believe in all kinds of omens, then she can safely choose a red dress, since this color suits brave, strong and independent individuals. And then, it was not without reason that our ancestors chose such attire for the bride on such a significant day.

If, when trying on such an outfit, you feel discomfort and internal protest, then, most likely, a red robe is not for you. You should pay attention to calmer shades or choose a white dress that is familiar to many.

Other superstitions

There are also signs for pregnant women. They will help you avoid the evil eye:

  • Under the dress, the tummy should be tied with a belt or red ribbon. Good protection is the child's father's belt, which he wore for a long time.
  • It is better if your belly is not visible thanks to your wedding dress.
  • It is better for the newly-made wife to spend the second wedding day in a red outfit, which symbolizes new life.
  • To make the birth go smoothly, the belt of the wedding dress should not be decorated with flowers, and it is better to wear shoes without fasteners or laces.

The relationship between spouses can be judged by the bride's attire. When her dress has an odd number of buttons, one should expect cheating on the part of her husband. If the dress is torn before the formal part, it means an evil mother-in-law. Here are a few more signs regarding the dress:

  • You cannot borrow money to buy wedding supplies (this also applies to loans), as the spouses will be mired in debt.
  • You can choose any decor for your outfit, except pearls - they promise tears.
  • Fluffy skirts or trains should not be touched by the groom before the wedding ceremony. The bridesmaids should do this.

Before exchanging rings, the newlyweds are prohibited from touching. Whoever touches their outfits will interfere with their relationship for the rest of their lives.

Features of choosing a red wedding dress

Please pay attention to the following:

  • Bride's age. A correctly chosen red dress will look great on a bride of any age. Ladies over 30 are recommended to choose calmer shades, ruby ​​or garnet. Up to 29 years old, you can safely give preference to scarlet, cinnabar, fuchsia and coral.
  • Figure. Overweight girls are better off choosing loose dresses in deep shades, burgundy or crimson. They will help visually reduce wide hips, tummy and large breasts. Slender brides can afford absolutely any color, from pink to burgundy.
  • Season: Summer. In the warm season, it is best to use a bright, flashy color, coral or fuchsia. Suitable dress lengths are above the knees or long at the back and short at the front.
  • Autumn. For this season, the best option would be rich shades - marsala, cherry, carrot, carmine, cardinal and terracotta.
  • Winter. In December, January and February, it is logical to choose classic red or other shades close to it - burgundy and crimson. They look perfect against the backdrop of white snow.
  • Spring. For sunny weather, delicate colors such as salmon and lilac are perfect.
  • Wedding style. A raspberry straight dress is ideal for a celebration in a rustic style. Short models of scarlet and amaranth shades will be very useful at a wedding in the “hipsters” or “rebel” directions. For an event in the style of “vintage” and “Provence”, you can choose delicate tones, ruby ​​and lilac.

    What does it mean if you dreamed of a bride's dress?

    In most cases, dreams about a wedding dress indicate imminent positive changes in life. This could be the embodiment of an old dream, promotion, financial well-being.

    If an unmarried girl sees herself in a white wedding dress at someone else’s wedding, it means illness or sadness. If the ceremony was with close relatives or friends, the dream does not bode well.

    When a married lady dreams of a dress, it means that the feelings for her husband that she experienced at the very beginning of the relationship will soon return to her. If a woman in a white dress is a bride at her own wedding, this may indicate an imminent breakup, quarrel or disagreement. Washing a wedding dress means trying to solve problems on your own.
