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!

"Treasure doesn't always have to be on display. Sometimes it needs to stay in the vault."
Breasts in everyone's face and big flippy ,flappy sleeves will make you look a bit ' try hard'.

Do you really want to spend the evening with drunk people shouting 'oh lay' and stamping their feet everytime you go past.

Is it a church wedding?

If I saw you in this I would ABSOLUTELY think you were trying to upstage the bride.

When I was a kid my mum and her friends/peers often used to get changed after the formal/more traditional day part of a wedding into something else "for the evening do", not sure why really. Maybe something to do with blending in more with evening guests, who were more likely to be in "night out" clothes rather than "wedding guest' clothes?

Regardless, that particular style isn't really my wheelhouse but we're all different, aren't we.

Is the wedding a friend of yours or a friend of his?

He's probably embarrassed to take you in something so "look at me" if he's the guest and you're a +1.

And who gets changed halfway through?! That's even more cringe.

If you've the figure and confidence for that red dress then there's literally thousands of beautiful, suitable options you could wear instead.

What did you wear to your last wedding op?

Red is fine for a wedding.
The dress is awful and not appropriate for a wedding IMO, not even for the night do.

Ay caramba!

Is the wedding’s theme flamenco floozies? 💃

Wearing red is fine for a wedding.

That dress is not fine for a wedding particularly for a church wedding. Looks like a dress you would go out clubbing in when you're on holiday

In that dress it looks like you’re trying to upstage the bride, maybe ok for the evening but I definitely don’t think it’s appropriate if you’re marrying in a church.
Maybe if it’s a beach wedding in the Caribbean and the bride is wearing something very revealing then it would be ok.
As someone else pointed out, it’s has cruise ship singer vibes.

The evening celebrations are still part of the wedding! Changing outfit is odd, unless you're the bride, or there's a practical reason. 'Look at me, everyone' doesn't qualify.

It's certainly going to turn heads and draw attention to you when the bride should be the centre of attention.

😂

Is the wedding in Rio during the Carnival? Will you be wearing fruit on your head? I'm not sure what that dress is appropriate for...

This made me chuckle

Which guest are you trying to piss off?

That dress is not meant for a wedding, or at least a classy wedding. Its a trashy dress, for clubbing

I'm going to a wedding soon. If another guest wore that, I'd assume that they HATE the bride and are determined to upstage her, even if that does mean getting their castanets out.

That's not a euphemism, by the way.

Aw. Sad this gentle teasing has got mean
sorry OP

I wore this sorta similar also not x

Unless you are Flamenco dancer and providing the entertainment at the wedding, it is completely inappropriate...

I like red but find this extremely tacky.

The attention should be on the bride

Not wedding wear...

I might think that you were on the lookout. It’s not suitable for any occasion, but definitely not a wedding, either for the service and reception, or during the evening. It screams ‘Look at me’ and that’s wrong.

That dress is a classic shape and very flattering. Not 'showy'
