Red dress to summer wedding?

[Matryoshka]

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!

[Matryoshka]

yeah? you don't think its too bold? i might see if i can find a pic.

[Matryoshka]

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 ), 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.
