Is there a symbolic red string of love in Aerith's red dress scene? Today, I'd like to talk about little curiosities and details about this lovely scene #clerith
(1/7)

Let's start with a bit of color psychology before I talk about the red string. Aerith's red dress has a lovely burgundy shade. Burgundy was often associated with luxury and higher class society, which reminds me to the lines of Madam M about the 1 million gil dress (2/7)
But, also, red is commonly associated with love and passion. Did you know that red color increases respiration and heart rate? It reminds me directly to Cloud's facial reaction. This jaw dropped and this wide open eyes are clear indicators of a heart beating fast (3/7)
Let's also talk about the firework colors. Green symbolizes the nature, the growth of new life, here I think it can symbolize the growth of a new love. Also, the golden one can be related to fidelity and loyalty, a concept tied strongly to this couple in other scenes (4/7) +
I can also see shades of pink and red fireworks, both related to tender and passionate love respectively (5/7)
Related to the red string of love and fate, if we pay attention to the symbology of colors, red is tied strongly with love. But red is not only in her dress, but in the red carpet (a direct bond/tie/string between C and A position), and in her hair, full of red ribbons (6/7)
