Hey!

Just wonderng what everyone's thoughts would be on wearing this dress to my fiances brother's wedding on valentines day?

I'd team it with a black chiffon pashmina, black bag and black heels.
I'm also smaller than the model, as the dress comes to slightly above my knees, instead of a few inches above.

    Is your fiance in the wedding and if so would the dress match what he is wearing? Yes, I love it :smile:

    I like it, but it seems there was a thread on here recently that it's not appropriate to wear red to a wedding? IDK if that applies to a Valentines Day wedding though!

    He's best man, but the groom and groomsmen are wearing black kilts similar to the following (tie or cravat may match wedding colours, but other than that it's pretty much the same)

    I think the dress is cute. My only hesitation would be if the bride and groom picked red as the color for their wedding, since it falls on Valentine's Day, that I wouldn't wear a red dress. That might just be a thing in my crazy family though.

    I've never heard that in my life! I thought it was just white or bridal colours haha.

    We're having a family meal on Sunday, and I might try and raise the subject ... I do have a back up maxi dress to wear in a navy blue, a more formal black midi dress and http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-foJ53G0ZUqI/T0ZXaveLyvI/AAAAAAAAAgY/8PMtOD5PZbc/s1600/20D10JCOR_large.jpg that I've worn before.

    The red was bought 'for' the wedding though, I'm a dress person!

    Never heard you can't wear red to a wedding only white or black, and black is becoming more common. If the wedding colors are not red I say it is a great dress to wear.

    I love the dress and think it would be perfectly lovely AND appropriate.

    The only thing I'd say is maybe not black pashmina & accessories. I'd probably want something different like cream, white, silver, or gold (even shoes). But that's just me!

    Also, love the kilt look for the men. Have fun at the wedding.

    I think that dress is beautiful! Definitely okay to wear as long as it doesn't match the colors of the bridal party.

    For an evening wedding that is a perfect color. If it's a morning wedding, however, I would recommend a brighter or more pastel of a color. Just my 2 cents though :smile:

    It's a half 1 ceremony with an evening reception.

    My first reaction was to agree on lighter accessories... but then I realized that I'm 'trying it on' for my own coloring. OP has a rather light skin tone and black hair - very high contrast looks. Quite enough to support and even demand high contrast black accessories. Well, maybe one of the three could be something other than black... Maybe. Just to break it up.

    Beautiful dress though. Should be perfect for a wedding.
