  <strong>Oh snap!</strong> <a href="#" class="alert-link">Change a few things up</a> and try submitting again.
</div>

  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
  </button>

</div>

Currently there are four varieties of contextual alert messages in Bootstrap 4 framework - they are knowned as Success, Info, Warning and Danger. Do not let however their names to limit the manner you're working with them-- all of these are simply a number of color schemes and the way they will be really performed in your website is absolutely up to you and fully depends on the special circumstance.

-- if the color scheme of your page utilizes the red as main color it might be quite appropriate to display the alert for successful form submission in red too using the predefined alert danger appearance in order to better blend with the page and save some time defining your own classes.
