Is it ok to wear an outfit that matches the wedding colors?

Question

I am attending a wedding with the colors red, black, and white. I have a great red and white dress that I wear with a black cardigan. Is that too matchy-matchy with the colors?

Answer 1

No, I think it would be cute~!

Answer 2

go for it, if you think it looks good

Answer 3

yeah its kinda weird. youll look like part of the decorations lol.

Answer 4

your outfit must be just beutiful , but if i waS you i would pick out somthing thats not to matchy , people might think you are in the wedding , but what you should really do is talk to the bride or groom , and ask them if they dont mind you wearing that outfit , they might say , "we dont care what you where as long as you come " , or they might say , " its just too matchy with the colours for the wedding and its NOT the best outfit to wear . But its thier wedding i think you should really ask them about it , hope this helps !!!!

Answer 5

It's okay as long as you don't look like the bridesmaids.

Answer 6

dats nice

Answer 7

hmm  i think that's fine but if it only matched 2 colors, that'd be better.

Answer 8

No!  I think it would be nice to match the wedding colors!

Answer 9

I might be a little too matching.  What if they do the whole room like that and you blend in like wallpaper?  When I go to a wedding, I always try to not wear white or off white (whatever the bride is wearing) and I don't wear whatever the signature color of the wedding is.  That should be reserved for the bridal party.  I'm sure you could find another suitable dress.

Answer 10

it is a bit weird ..

Answer 11

It should be fine. But it sort of depends on the bridge and groom's wedding traditions. Like in my family nobody would ever wear black to a wedding even if it was a black button! And with some people red is worn by the bride and/or groom same with the white. But I'm sure it'll be fine, might want to ask other guests what colours they're wearing

Answer 12

Even though you are a girl and I am a guy, I went to a pretty fancy night wedding pretty recently; The colors were light blue and green, and it was a night wedding, so I wore a tux. But I had a tie that matched the colors. I got a good bit of compliments.

My only concern for you is how much does you outfit look like the brides maids?

Answer 13

noo its fine. there are gonna be people there with all different color dresses no one will probably notice. =]

Answer 14

I personally wouldn't do it and I would be upset if someone who was not included in the wedding party wore the same colors.

Answer 15

No that would be awesome just have fab hair and makeup.

Answer 16

Don't wear red to someone's wedding. The bride is suppose to be the center of attention not you. Pick different colors.

Answer 17

No, it's fine. What you shouldn't do is go out and buy the same dress the bridesmaids are wearing (but why would you want to?). I'd say 95% of people will not even realize you're wearing the wedding colors, and those that do won't care.

Answer 18

I attended a wedding recently with those colors. The bride was my best friend, and she was with me when I bought the red dress I wore to her wedding. That shouldn't be a problem.

I attended a black and white themed wedding, and pretty much all the guests came in black, so that rule really only applies to bridezillas or weddings with color scheme that don't include basic colors.

Answer 19

no that would be beautiful. especially if that is your real hair color!

Answer 20

As long as you don't wear just white, that is the bride's color.

Answer 21

Not a great idea.

It will make you look like you are part of the wedding party or family.  Or that you want attention.

I really can't stress enough that it's a bad idea.

I'm sure you have other outfits.  Try them instead.  

Just black (if it's evening) would be fine.  But I just wouldnt push it too much or you may look like you are trying to steal thunder.  Not good.

*You* may be ok with it if it were your wedding, and *others* on here may be ok with it if it was their wedding.  But, if the bride *does* happen to care, and you can clearly see that many people who answered WOULD care, then you'll look like a twit.  Bad idea.

Answer 22

That sounds tacky.

Answer 23

Ask the individuals getting married.if they mind....we are just giving you our opinions..quite frankly only your own opinion should matter! =)

Answer 24

Hi there. i dont think that would be tacky at all. If anything you are going along with the color theme of the wedding as it is. besides, other guests will probably be in really different colors so it will help you stand out more. And you will be fitting in. If you are still not too sure, try to ask the bride if you and she are really close. It is her wedding. trust me...she will tell you if she feels it would be too matchy matchy

Answer 25

yes, as long as you dont wear white to the wedding.

Answer 26

Sounds like a great outfit, only thing I got told about weddings is dont wear all white coz it steals the light 4rm the bride, so u shood b good :)

Answer 27

I think it's a cute idea personally.
