I went out shopping for the bridesmaid dresses today with my sister. This is only day two of the dress shopping but I found a great dress in Bayshore Bridal. I was wondering about the color of the dresses. The sample dress was in the color red. The question - Can you have your bridesmaids wear the color red in July? Everyone in the store was telling me that I can do whatever I want but I usually associated red with winter weddings. My second choice was going to be a blue color. I just don't want to violate any wedding rules. What do you ladies think? Red in July???

Red, White and Blue in July, especially the fourth! :o)
I don't believe any rules on bridesmaids dresses, except that they shouldn't wear white. Red is fine if you like it!

Re: Red for July?

Re: Red for July?
I think red is perfect for July, it is a very festive, celebratory color! I don't automatically associate red with winter unless it islike red velvet or a red gown with a fur color etc.
P.S. Red is beautiful for July, but I DO NOT like red, white & blue for a wedding. While I applaud patriotism and love celebrating the 4th of July, I do not think it makes for an elegant wedding.

I was going to have a claret red for my fourth of July wedding but I decided to go with the bordeaux which is a cross between dark red and wine... I wanted a light color but some of my girls tan darker then others so I didn't want anyone to look washed out.

Re: Red for July?
Thank you ladies for all of your comments. I guess there are really no 'rules' when it comes to bridesmaid’s dresses. I really can't go with the red white and blue since I am a social studies teacher. I might be pushing the patriotic stuff a little too far!

I'm having red BM dresses for my August wedding. At first I had the same concern, that it is more of a fall/winter color, but I've seen so many summer wedding pics with red dresses and it looks fine. Just make sure that the flowers look summery.
