I always wear black to weddings. I have a new cocktail dress in red that I want to wear. Is it ok to wear such a bold color to a wedding? I don't want my red dress to stick out too much Thoughts?

Re: Red Dress? with poll
i see ppl wearing color at weddings all the time. I hardly wear black to a wedding actually, i wear color. This past saturday i attended a wedding and the color of the dress was raspberry.
I've worn maroon to a wedding, so close to red but darker.
I just wouldn't wear red to an asian wedding since traditional asian brides wear red the way we wear white so its our equivalent of not wearing white

also if going to the ceremony in a church, you have to be careful with red bc some cultures you cant wear red in the house of god. Not sure if this even applies for you.

Do it! I hate when people wear black to weddings. It's a happy, celebratory, fun time. It makes me think of a funeral. Red would be awesome.

funny way to look at it but so true. I mean i dont mind if ppl wear black but sometimes ive gone to some weddings and seriously like every guest is in black, its like wow wheres the color. Its one thing when you see a few ppl in black but yeah so very true, when a majority of ppl are in black it does remind me of a funeral.
By wearing color you dont take away from the bride. I mean if i wear color its not like im taking away from the bride with a big dress on, headpiece, veil and obviously is the center of attention, for me to think that i can take away attention from her would be a bit much and putting myself up on a pedestal to think i can do so that easily

I love red!! I have a red dress and wore it to a wedding. I don't think it's a problem unless it's a culture issue like others mentioned.

I saw absolutely, why not? People wear red all the time, it's really a color that can go with just about any season and often looks really nice and dressy on people. I say go for it!

I wore a red cocktail dress to a wedding before. They got married at the RH so i didn't have to worry about wearing it to the church. I say go for it!
