Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

Red is a color that STANDS out and gets you LOTS of ATTENTION

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

This is a joke right? It has to be!

If I saw a bride walking down the aisle in that I would first be horrified....but after awhile I don't think I'd be able to control my laughter!

This has to be a joke...

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

I dont think its a joke...it is however 'different' and not my 'taste' but if she wants to wear that to her wedding, who are we to judge? I mean...the one thing that drove me nuts when I was planning was all of the people with their #($)*@$!! Opinions!

Personally, I might choose something a bit more traditional and if she wants to, she can change for the reception.

Do we need an OFC call here???

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

ok but the point is that she is worried about what people might say about the red cloak and she is having her reception in a church hall I think its better she hear it now then later.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

I understand that she is a very untraditional bride, but I think it is truly unfair for everyone to judge. Notice, when she first posted about the cloak she did not mention the outfit. Since she has posted her 'dress' everyone has gotten very negative towards her. I really don't think that is fair. It is her choice, and just as we all hate people making a mockery of our wedding choices think about what everyone on this post is doing to her choices.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

So you'd wear that to church?

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

If this is in response to me, no I would not, but however we don't know what kind of church she is getting married in. What if it is a medieval wedding ceremony? We really don't know.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

well she said she is having her reception in a CHURCH HALL. And being a catholic who got married in a church makes me upset that she would even want to or think its ok to wear that in a church.

Also as I said she said that her in laws are very religious (catholic) and are against her wearing red I have a VERY strong feeling that this would offend them also.

this is my favorite thread of all-time on LIW.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

Better to get it out in the open now rather than have people staring, mouths agape in shock at her wedding-unless that is what she is going for, 'shock value'.

You mean you like this better than the Off-Topic post on circumcision?

that doesn't look like a medieval outfit to me...

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

Okay first of all I'm having the reception at a Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church hall. Ironically I met the vender who makes those leather armor out fits there, at the ren faire they had two yrs ago. He was selling them there! So I doubt the church will mind. Second I WAS NEVER CONCERNED about wearing the cloak, I was merely wondering why red was considered bad. More I heard the more I liked. Our wedding is a pagan wedding and we wanted to keep it a pagan medieval theme. I met my FH wearing this boadice. We wanted to make our day like the day we met. YOu don't have to like it, but as I respected all of you, I merely ask for the same in return.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

We respect you plenty, but it really does look like you are popping out of that top. I'm not judging you, I'm just letting you know.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

That dress is not something I would wear, but if you like it and your church doesnt have a problem with it, then more power to you.

I would feel a lot differently if you said you were going to wear that to a catholic church or a synagogue, where I know that would be totally inappropriate and offensive.

Good luck with your wedding!

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

Hey, its your day, so do what you want.

However, I am not sure if that is pagan attire.... are you talking about pagans of King Arthur time and before, or modern paganism. Pagans were actually huge believers in nature.. all of their ceremonies revolved around the Earth.. I am not sure an outfit like that would have been included in Pagan ceremonies.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?

I don't know much about the Untiarian church, other than that they are very accepting of all people. However, you might want to run your choice of attire by the pastor or celebrant to make sure that it is appropriate for the ceremony. I am pretty confident that many Catholic priests would refuse to marry someone in that attire. I know the Unitarians are much more liberal, but I would want to be sure in advance. I think there is a difference between selling something at a fair at the church and wearing it as a bride and I wouldn't want any unwanted surprises that would cause me heartache on my wedding day.

I am not sure why red would be bad. Chinese brides wear red and in the Catholic church, the priests wear red vestments on the joyful holy days of the liturgical calendar. I guess people do associate red with sinfulness or evil for whatever reason.

I do have to agree, however, that you will shock your Catholic future inlaws much more with the dress than the cloak. I don't think they will even notice the cloak.
