Given the right items at hand, I am sure that even you will know how to accessorize a red dress for a wedding. It is already well known that red, the color of passion, is the most attractive and sensual shade, which can make you stand out regardless of the time of day or the occasion you choose to wear an all-red outfit.
You might think that a color as powerful as red would be perfectly fine on its own and would not need further accessories.
However, over-accessorizing is more than encouraged by fashion critics! If you have already chosen a red dress without applications or embellishments on it, opt for statement accessories.
Here are 10 accessories, including shoes, that will go great with your red dress at a wedding:
- Hair clips
- Headband
- Lipstick
- Earrings
- Watch
- Ring
- Handbag
- Shawl
- Stilettos

10 Best Ways to Accessorize a Red Dress for a Wedding
Hair Clips
An elegant, yet understated accessory. Hair clips have gained huge popularity in the last few years and have been spotted more often in both casual and elegant events.
Women loved them so much because they are very simple, they don’t attract too much attention to them, and are minimalist.
They bring enough flair to the outfit, without giving the impression that the outfit has too many elements.
If you don’t have hair clips or you haven’t worn them, consider them for your next wedding, together with your red dress.
Colors like white and black are great options, but they are not the only ones.
You can either choose red, if you want to create a monochromatic look, together with the red dress.
Headband
Another great hair accessory, which is also often disregarded by many women.
If you are looking for a fun and different way to style your hair, this accessory may come in handy.
You can simply put it on your head, using it just as an accessory, or you can create your hairstyle around it.
Figure out which options you like the most and let the creativity run free.
You will find many types of headbands, as far as color, material, and design are concerned.
A great choice for your red dress would be a gold headband. It is bright and it balances the color red very nicely.
But this isn’t your only option: white, black, silver or even red are other great options.
Lipstick
A simple, small accessory, but what wonders can do! When I think about lipstick, I see it as the final element of an outfit, the element that seals the deal.
I believe that there is no other accessory that is stronger and more powerful than the perfect shade of lipstick.
However, take into account that not all shades work best on all types of skin tones and with every color of your outfit.
Nevertheless, red lipstick definitely breaks this rule. I find this color to be the universal one, meaning that it goes with every skin tone and color of the outfit.
Plus, it is such a vibrant and strong color that it will complete your outfit, making you look amazing.
Earrings
A red dress and a pair of gorgeous earrings are simply a love story that is waiting to be told.
A big pair of sparkly, gorgeous earrings would look great with your red dress, creating a glamorous outfit.
Even if earrings are a common accessory, being worn on casual occasions and even to work, they can still become the central accessory in your outfit, if you choose the correct size.
The decision of what size would go best is based on the type of hairstyle you have.
If you have your hair in a bun or a ponytail, then you should opt for a small set of earrings.
But if you decide to let your hair free, choose a bigger type of earrings, to make sure they can be seen.
Watch
While many women may think that this accessory is too simple and it doesn’t go well with an elegant wedding dress, hear me out.
We have nowadays many options when it comes to watches, meaning that an infinite number of models are now available, many of them are very similar to bracelets, having many embellishments on them and being gold, silver, rose gold, and so on.
That is why I believe that they are very elegant and are great for formal events, even one as elegant as a wedding.
Try and consider choosing a watch for your next wedding party. A gold watch would combine perfectly with your lovely red dress.
Ring
A big, powerful ring can really make a statement. Whoever said that rings are too small and that nobody cared for them didn’t know what they were talking about.
The right ring can completely transform your outfit.
The last few trends have shown that big rings that are able to create a statement are the most popular among fashion lovers.
With different patterns, such as floral, animal, geometric, and so on, have overturned the simple, classic, elegant rings that came in a minimalistic design.
Moreover, strong and bold colors, such as red, emerald, navy blue, purple, and fuchsia, are in vogue lately.
So, if you want an accessory that will leave an impression, be sure to consider choosing a ring. It would go great with your red dress.
Handbag
What would be an outfit without a bag? Many of us hardly leave the house without a bag to carry all our products and items.
However, besides the practical aspect of bags, bags are also an item that is meant to accessorize your outfit and make a statement.
Handbags are still bags, it’s just that they are smaller in size, meant to be held in hand or on your shoulder (if they have a strap).
Choose a handbag to go with your red dress and to do this, consider these colors: silver, black, gold, nude, royal blue, or white.
These colors are some of the best options for your red dress, helping you create a stylish outfit.
Shawl
First and foremost, a shawl is meant to offer you an extra layer and to keep you warm.
However, knowing how to turn this simple clothing item into an accessory for a wedding, will help you create a simple, yet elegant and sophisticated outfit.
Some of the best and safest choices when it comes to the material would be silk, viscose, or a similar material.
As far as color goes, you can either opt for a monochromatic look, choosing a red shawl for your red dress, or you can choose a simple, toned-down color, such as black, white, nude, beige, gray, and so on.
Be sure to consider this accessory, especially if you plan on attending a wedding in the colder seasons.
Stilettos
We could be talking about accessorizing a red dress without including the famous high heels, and stilettos, wouldn’t we?
Such a strong, powerful dress deserves a powerful partner by its side.
Deciding to choose stilettos with your red dress might make you fall in love with this combination.
These two items fit so well together.
The options in this case are endless, being able to choose from many designs, styles, patterns, models, colors, heel sizes, and others.
A favorite combination of mine is a long, red dress together with a black pair of stilettos with some sparkle on them.
I bet this combination will look amazing on you and will make you feel glamorous and confident.
Flats
I love heels very much, but I love my feet more and that is why I often choose flats over them.
Besides being comfortable and cute, flats can also be very stylish and chic, if you find the right pair.
The last couple of years have brought back flats in the eye of fashion and we have seen more and more models and designs everywhere.
From pointed-toe flats, open-back flats, and ballet flats, to flat mules, and so on, all these options can be found anywhere and come in many colors and with different patterns and accessories.
They have become as stylish and chic as heels, without having to actually wear heels.
They are more and more encountered in formal events, even weddings.
Final Thoughts
I hope that this red dress for a wedding accessories list has helped you create an amazing outfit or has at least given you the inspiration that you were looking for to create an outfit that will best fit you and that will reflect your personality.
It doesn’t matter if you are blonde, redhead, or brunette, you will look gorgeous in a long red dress. There are so many seductive shades of red and you’re sure to find one that suits you.
A red evening dress can be the defining element to make you look and feel good.
Red makes you feel more feminine, more sensual and gives you confidence in your qualities.
Moreover, the colors you choose can send messages to the people around you, and red has the power to make others see you as a confident, strong person with a personality.
