Could this be the beginning of the death of the white wedding? Young brides are now opting for a brightly colored dress - with one in ten opting for red.

According to a recent study, a quarter of young brides are now turning their back on white dresses to wear red, pink and blue instead. Research found that 27 percent of 18 to 24 year olds would not get married in traditional white.

The study found that red is largely seen as the color that represents love while yellow was the most popular choice to represent happiness.
