Wearing red to a wedding?
My coworkers were discussing this a few weeks ago. I said I wanted to wear a red dress to a wedding and they all told me that it is rude because you will take attention away from the bride. I have never heard of not wearing red to a wedding (only not to wear white). Are they right?

I don't know
I thought maybe I was missing something because all of them (5 girls) told me I shouldn't wear it.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
I wearing red to a wedding tomorrow.
My mother is wearing black and my family was telling her black is rude. I told her black is elegant. Even bridesmaids wear black now.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
The only color I wouldn't wear to a wedding is white (meaning all white) any other color I think is just fine.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
My BMs wore red, and about 3 guests also had on red - I didn't care at all, and I've never heard it takes away from a bride. I don't think ANYTHING can take away from a bride on her wedding day.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
my BMs wore red too... i think people just like to come up with their *ideas* of how each color symbolizes something or takes away from the bride. HELLO shes the bride... clearly, people will recognize her

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
even though red isn't a favor of my colors i don't think it's a problem wearing red to a wedding. i've been to weddings where i've seen women wearing red dress. i've never heard of that (it'll draw atrraction from the bride) now wearing all white would be a no no. go for it! i'm sure you'll be looking fly! good luck with finding a pair of shoes to match. do you have a pic of the dress if you wouldn't sharing?

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
I was annoyed that my SIL wore a red hoocky dress to my wedding, but if anyone else would have wore red I would have been okay with it.
She is an attention getter, and could not deal with the fact that her younger brothers wer btoh married before her.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
I've never heard of that.... BUT.....
We had 300 ppl at my wedding. A good friend of mine brought a date and she was wearing a red dress. Every single person I've talked to or seen since my wedding 6 months ago asks me the same question : "Who was the girl in the red dress?" Everyone noticed her! Even I noticed her and I had never met her until my wedding day.

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
i've never heard of not wearing red or black. I've work black to weddings because it's elegant.
I wouldn't wear red only because it clashes with my hair..

Re: Wearing red to a wedding?
It's an old school thing. Traditionally, red was, well, the color of strumpets.
And black was reserved for mourning, so wearing it to a wedding generally meant you disapproved.
