Guest wearing red

E, on September 12, 2013 at 10:02 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 27

Hey girls- so my friend just emailed me about how she got her dress for my wedding. She said it is red and tight so she really needs to watch her diet. For some reason this is bothering me. She has always been an attention seeker and dresses a little more provocative. I am annoyed she is trying to do this on my wedding day. Am I being a crazy bride right now? I also wish she just didn't tell me because day of I probably wouldn't have cared. But now I am thinking about it!! Can she let someone else have the spotlight once?? I know I sound crazy but it is bother me.

    This is one of those things that you might just have to "let go". There is bound to be so much beauty and love on your wedding day, try your best not to let the flashy girl in red take away from that. Focus on what you love, and try to ignore what you don't. Smiley smile

    Let it gooooooooooo

    Not worth the stress. Plus her idea of red might be a really faded red, or more maroon, or pink, don't worry about it!

    If it is provocative like you said I'm sure other guests will probably think the same thing when they see her. I just went to a wedding in CT and the groom was Jersey Shore-ish...most of the girls were wearing really tight, short (SUPER SHORT) dresses and they just looked silly. It definitely did not take away from the beautiful couple and their gorgeous day!

    Let it go.

    Nobody is going to pay any attention to her.

    Cameras will be following you around, not her just because she has on a tight red dress.

    Now, if she's single, she may get all the attention of any single guys, that attend but, who cares.

    That would definitely irk me, but try to just forget about it. you won't care on the day, i promise.

    i had a friend bring a date who apparently was wearing cargo shorts and sneakers. i said hello and i think even hugged the guy. i didn't even notice what he was wearing until someone told me after they'd left!

    Agree with AndreaLily. I feel like at almost every wedding I've been to there's at least one girl in a dress that's way more appropriate for a club than a wedding. And I think most people just side-eye it and then move on (I usually just make snarky comments quietly at my table).

    Maybe hers isn't too bad! But even if it is, on the day I'm sure you won't care.

    I had a co-worker ask me if it was alright for her to wear white to my wedding as i was the nicest dress she had. I didn't have a probblem with it. Also one of my bridesmaids wanted to be almost as blinged out as me and I told her the maids couldn't outshine the bride. The guest wore the white with my blessing and the bridesmaids had a little bling but trust me, there was no way either outshined or drew attention from me, the bride. There is something about a bride that just glows (I would imagine the happiness and love she feels and is surrounded by) that I feel nothing can take away from. If she wants to dress in red or provacatively let her. It will still be your day and you will still outshine anyone in the room, trust me on this.

    "She has always been an attention seeker and dresses a little more provocative."

    why are you surprised? You KNOW this about her already.

    Well, Paris, I figured maybe she wouldn't be this way at a wedding. Sorry for being surprised.

    Red and tight doesn't necessarily mean skanky. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm wearing a red cocktail dress to a girlfriend's wedding this winter. It's an appropriate length (to the knee) and well-fitted but not scandalous. She didn't mind. I did check with her though, just to make sure.

    All eyes will be on you. Don't worry, they'll see this for what it is, a desperate ploy for attention. Focus on your husband. :o)

    I went to a wedding where one guest was trying way too hard to be sexy. We all talked about her. And not in a good way. If your friend is too flashy, it'll cause the opposite effect that she probably wanted, so win for you!

    Don't worry about it. Chances are the other guests will look at her and think that she's not dressed appropriately anyway (I know because the same thing happened at my friend's wedding!! And I kind of expect the girl to dress like that at mine.)

    I definitely agree with your one point though--I wish people would stop telling me what they're wearing because I won't care the day of!
