Wearing a red dress to a wedding?

Monkey_Business

If it is a traditional wedding the three colors to stay away from are white/ivory, black and red.

Ask the bride, if its no concern to her then you should be fine.

Sarcasm is not a progressive mode of communication regular forum poster MyChocolateDiet. Totally uncalled for and most inappropriate, all too incensed too I might add. Misplaced angst and frustrations garnered directly at me triggered by my neutral mention.

This is NOT a joke. It's concerning a young woman and her attire to an Irish Wedding. We are women, tantamount to having an iota of sensitivity. I don't have dual accounts. Gemma's my sister. We're like many in here. Families join all the time. You're derailing the thread@your assault.

OK then. Either way, you're both going on my ignore list. And I hope you can get some surgery to help with your problem. :flowerforyou:

You are sad. Personal attack ~ desperate. Reported.

THEN for you it's personal. A non-issue for me. Deal with your issues and stick to topic - Dress code appropriateness to an Irish Wedding.

If you were going to a funeral, I'd say no.

Go for it!

True. Some do choose to wear red to funerals too in that style and cut ...Eesh!! lol

ETA: Although, there are funerals re-vamped as parties to celebrate the life of the deceased, where guests are asked to attend in full party attire and the event is a party.

I wore red to a wedding having no idea it was a taboo thing. I later asked the bride if she was offended by my red dress and she said no. I think that is an outdated rule. The thought is it is the bride's day and you do not want to outshine the bride. That dress is gorgeous and looks fabulous but I do not think you will be outdoing the bride I say go for it!

I read this thread the other day and just read something so I thought I'd throw it out there. I am currently reading Gunn's Golden Rules and he says the rule is no black or white, although black can be done as a party dress and not as if you were mourning. No where does he say no red. (I had never heard of no red either). Oh, he also says make it occassion/venue appropriate, beach vs church.

I trust Tim Gunn.

Tim Gunn is a safe go to for American Fashion, I agree. ) Interpretations on the diverse cultures practiced in the USA? No. Fashion? Yes. Cultural protocol? No.

Cute dress.

Thanks! It was super comfortable and flattering even after a few glasses of wine (or a lot). :blushing:
