Is this dress inappropriate for a wedding?

[humanpotato]

My boyfriend said he thinks this dress isn't appropriate for a wedding because it's red? This is new to me? The last two weddings we've been to I've wore red and he didn't say anything. So I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are is this appropriate?

I don't know what thread this belongs in!

Yes, totally inappropriate.

Yeah, I thought this.

I love this dress!

Red was said in the past to be unlucky for weddings (but I wore it to a Christian/Hindu wedding years ago with no issues!

It's the style which isn't suitable in my opinion not the colour, way too revealing sorry!

The colour is fine. This is exactly the sort of dress people wear here in Spain for weddings, but I can see people being a bit weird about it at U.K. weddings.

Not the sort or style usually worn to a wedding but obviously it's your choice. Are you evening only?

It's entirely up to you what you want to wear for a wedding (I've seen guests in similar if not worse!).

However some of the bridal party may either speak to you or not or give you looks, depending on how prudish they are!

I’d be livid if someone wore that at my wedding. Whether at the ceremony or the reception. Far too revealing and inappropriate.

Off for a guest to do an outfit change at a wedding

Tacky and grim but the colour is ok

Not inappropriate, I went to a wedding last weekend and there was a huge variety of style dresses, colours and prints. Beautiful dress

Is it a modern take on a flamenco dress? All you'd need is the castanets and a pair of flamenco shoes (red) and you could be the evening entertainment.

I couldn't give a hoot if someone wore that at my wedding. It's not to my taste but so what, I don't need to approve of everyone's style, I'm happy they made an effort and are coming to celebrate my special day.

And let's be honest no one is up staging the bride unless they attend in a wedding dress!

The amount of horrid people on this thread is beyond me, and when you posted that picture of yourself in the dress a whole load of green eyed monsters came out!

If you wore that to my wedding @humanpotato I would have thought you looked lovely, if I’d noticed. I wouldn’t have noticed if you’d changed for the evening. I don’t think most happy brides notice this sort of shit. I had such a great time at my wedding I wouldn’t have cared if someone wore nipple tassels and a thing, as long as they were comfortable.

there’s so much uptight fuss about weddings. You know the bride and groom, if you think they’d have a problem don’t wear it, if you think they wouldn’t care less then go for it. X

That's exactly what he means along with a side of I don't want to stand next to it

If you do really love it OP, you could make it more ‘wedding appropriate’ by removing the ruffle sleeves and stitching up the front split a bit.

That's exactly what I thought! 😄

Thsnk god youve reconsidered
Honestly id be telling you to sling your hook if you wore that to my wedding

It's a lovely dress, and if you can wear it, excellent and good for you. But please not for a wedding? Wedding guests should not, absolutely not, seek to compete with bride or bridesmaids. Fading modestly into the background is the way to go...

It depends on where this wedding is imho. Older rules in Southern Europe say red is a no-no because it upstages the bride. Nowadays I think it depends on the actual outfit.
As for your outfit. Are you providing professional entertainment as well during this wedding...? If so, maybe you should take this in a bag and only get it out when it's needed. That was a jokey way of saying no to this unless the bride's a b*tch, then go right ahead, this would fit right in.

Have you decided what you are going to wear yet OP?

Yes it is inappropriate. Too much. Both necessary

Only wear it if you don't care what the bride thinks, or perhaps missed the directions for showing up as the main event at the Stag Party the night before.
