Red to a wedding?

I wouldn't have a problem with someone wearing red. My only color issue would be someone wearing white or anything close to it.

As long as they're not wearing white, I can't see why red wouldn't be appropriate. It might be easier for this guest to stand out a bit, but the attention will be on you!

I don’t understand why anyone would think that red was inappropriate. It’s a color. Who cares?

I generally have a problem with over-policing of guest wear (people who say that ANY white is unacceptable, even a white background on a floral dress, for example.) The point of getting dressed for a wedding is not to overshadow the bride. Unless the dress does that (ie they are wearing a sequined, floor length, bright red, low cut gown with a slit to a cocktail wedding) then no one is paying attention to what the guests are wearing.

That’s fine. I love color, bring on the brights!

I don't get the whole red thing. Nor do I get why anyone cares lol. The only colors I dont' want people wearing are the wedding colors or white.

I think it's fine. If they feel good in red, then let them rock it. I have only asked guests (after they inquired) to not wear white or head to toe black.

I don't have an issue with it. Red was one of our wedding colors and the color the bridesmaids worn. One of our guests wore red and she said she felt uncomfortable because she was in a red that was almost the same color as my bridesmaids, but that was her problem not mine. She knew red was one of our colors and she decided to wear it anyways so she has no one to blame but herself. I had asked guests not to wear jeans, shorts or sneakers since it was a formal event otherwise people can figure out on their own how to dress. I think it is common sense for guests to know not to wear white.

I wouldn't care one bit if somebody wore red. I couldnt tell you what most people even wore!

I've worn red to weddings before and I felt comfortable and in no way overshadowed the bride or the events. I felt very confident and pretty in it, but it was not an over the top dress either. I also wore coral at one point and it was the same. As long as they aren't trying to bring attention to themselves with their color, its fine...and, if they bring attention to themselves, it probably wont be positive attention, and that's on them.

I see people complain about outfits that include white too and I don't get it. All white, no. A pretty dress with white pattern, cute! That has bothered me too.

I love wearing red. It would be a non-issue for me.

I couldn’t care less, as long as no one shows up in a wedding dress I’m good.

View Quoted Comment I would say even the sequined gown is fine. As long as they aren’t wearing a wedding dress (or other ALL white dress) who cares what the guests wear

My mom is wearing red. She thought I would have a problem with it but I really don't care.

I don't personally think it's inappropriate either But I do see how such colors could be really distracting because it's very flashy

I wouldn't care if someone wore a bathing suit to my wedding as long as it wasn't white!

I wouldn’t care. I’ve worn red to weddings in the past without asking so oops.

I dont think it’s a big deal.

If that’s what they want to wear I say go for it. No white is my only requirement but any other color is fine.

I expect people to wear red to my wedding haha. It’s a Harry Potter themed event, and I expect a LOT of our guests will suddenly become Gryffindors lol.

I have no no problem with bright colors. No one is going to outshine the bride, and if they try, the feedback towards them will almost certainly be negative. I wouldn’t worry about it.
