Would you wear a red dress to a summer wedding? i am thinking it might be too loud but unless i find something in the january sales i don't think i can afford to shell out for a new dress. The wedding is on a sunday arvo, and reception is sunday night.
Go the red dress I reckon. Lovely :)
I can;t see anything wrong with it? What about it actually worries you? Red is classic and sexy!
yeah? you don't think its too bold? i might see if i can find a pic.
Um D i dunno... red is pretty attention catching, i guess i don't want to stand out?
Ok hmmm i think maybe i'm nervous because it will be the first social thing i've been to in about a year and a half!
Dont be nervous! it will be great to get out. Hopefully the weather is gorgeous too. A pic would help but no I don't think you will stand out. Many new dresses these days have big bold patterns with bright colours. You may even look boring compared to them ;) xxx
I love red and think red dresses are so elegant..
Just make sure that red isn't the colour of the bridesmaids. We had red (and all the trimming on our invites was red, so thought it was a dead giveaway :redface:), but my cousin also wore a red dress and was so self concious on the day and hid the beautiful dress behind her DH's black suit jacket.
Our's was a spring wedding, but against all the summer flowers, skies, I think red looks great.
Wear it! I wore a red dress to a wedding last weekend, and I had the same concerns. But it was fine- everyone was dressed to the nines, so it just fit in.
Unless it is the same colour as the invites, wear it. Brides wear red in China because it is meant to be good luck. If the couple are Chinese make sure the bride won't be wearing red. I think red is a great colour to wear to weddings!!
I reckon it's fine too. If you feel uncomfortable maybe wear a light weight shawl or a light jacket over it.
Honey, if I was going shopping for a new dress to wear to a summer wedding, I'd be LOOKING for red ones anyway ;)
I've worn a red dress to 3 weddings that I can recall in the last few years (not the same ones ;)) - I love them, they are so classic & elegant.
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon/evening.
The only time I wouldn't wear one is if the bridesmaids were red.. otherwise its my colour of choice :D
Go for it ;)
Sure! Go for it! Red would be my first choice!
Red is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l !
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Pics are a bit vague but let me know if you think its okay to wear to the wedding and then to the reception? (do people usually wear the one outfit?)

its so perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe you're even questioning it! It's stunning.
You know you would look stunning dressed in a paper bag! Go for it- it's a beautiful dress, and red is a perfect thing for summer!
Absolutely go for it, you're going to look stunning! And don't feel at all shy about it, you really will look lovely :D
I am biased, because I wore red to my own wedding ;) but I think it's doable on most occasions.
Aww thanks ladies!!!
I feel really good about this now, as i said i haven't been out in a year and a half, so i have the PIL all lined up to baby sit. I am really looking forward to this :)
That dress is gorgeous! I hope you have a great night. And BTW, yes, you can just wear the same outfit to the ceremony and reception. I always have.
That dress is perfect and you look stunning in it. Have a great time at the wedding.
That dress is gorgeous! You look HOT :)
Yep you can wear the same dress to the ceremony and reception, I've always done that.
That's a stunning dress and a great shade of red - very elegant. You're not going to my SIL's wedding are you???? I'm jealous you have such a beautiful dress - I need to hit the shops after Christmas to find something.
The only time I've ever not worn the same outfit is when the wedding was at noon and the reception wasn't until 7pm. I'd love to be able to convince DH that it was normal to wear two dresses though - now that would be great :-)
Aww that is absolutely gorgeous!!
I think it's a really 'subtle' red, not loud at all!
You look great, have a wonderful time!
What a gorgeous dress, I want to know where you bought it :)
You will look awesome. Have a great time!
Make sure you let us know how it goes!! :)
Yes, I want to hear all about it T!
Well I wore a red dress as a bride so maybe double check that the bridal party aren't using that colour. But apart from that I think the dress is lovely. Very classy and pretty.
Thanks ladies, i can't wait!
I bought that dress from a little boutique in perth (can't remember the name now) it was for my dh work ball a year and a half ago but i ended up wearing something else so i've never worn this. I'm about 5kg heavier now though since having ds2 so hopefully it isn't too tight around the hips. I have a few weeks to slim down a bit though - need to start going for regular pram pushes again!
The bridal party are wearing fushia pink and the dresses are short and flowy so i definately won't look similar.
Dont worry about a thing babe. Your 5kg wil be in your boobies ;)
OMG I just saw your photo's ! Just stunning !! You definitely need to wear that dress ! Have a fantastic time :loveshower:
