Is it appropriate to wear a bright red dress
to a wedding?
The wedding is a formal evening wedding. The
dress is a simple sleeveless dress. It has a
scoop neckline and shows just a little, but
not a lot of cleavage. I would wear it to other
formal events, just not sure if its appropriate
for a wedding.
If you don't think it'd be okay try getting a little black dress. A black dress would be perfect for a wedding also. I'm suggesting this if you don't feel comfortable about wearing the red dress still. You can never go wrong with a little black dress.

anything to a wedding that takes attention
away from the bride. Bright red might
do that.
Sounds like a sexy little dress maybe
best saved for another occasion. If you
have something else to wear, or can afford
to buy something else, I wouldn't wear it. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

I once went to a wedding described to me (not by the bride) as "extremely casual," so I dressed extremely casual and when I got there no one else was dressed casual at all. That was very embarrassing. So now whenever I go to a wedding, I always get what I plan to wear OK'd by the bride first. She'll be very happy that you did, because most brides like to control everything about their wedding day. [ soundslikepink's advice column | Ask soundslikepink A Question ]
