I know def not all white (don't want to upstage the bride) or all black (too funeral-y) but I recently heard something about no red? I was thinking of wearing a black polka-dotted wrap dress w/ a white cami underneath (it's very low-cut), a red bag, and matching red shoes. Yes? No? Maybe?

This wedding is this weekend, and it's actually only a blessing and reception. (The couple actually got married about 3 wks ago in Cozumel.) It's a late afternoon/evening event, with the blessing beginning @ 4:30 and the reception following. The couple is very laid-back, but they didn't really say anything as far as any of this goes. As I said, only my shoes and bag would be red, possibly the cami underneath the dress.

I agree. Anything other than white can be worn. Except for flashy, glittery type fabrics. As you stated, it wouldn't be a good idea to upstage the bride.
What you have chosen to wear sounds VERY appropriate with just enough sex appeal.
Beats jeans & a halter.

While most people have some black and white clothing, not all people do. I personally HATE being told what to wear to an event. I'm 30 years old, and totally capable of picking a nice outfit that matches the formality of the event. Most of the time when I'm asked to dress a certain way, I have to go out and buy whatever is requested of me, and it sucks, because it's usually something I won't want to wear again. Your wedding party will pop because they're the wedding party. Nobody will mistake them. So let your guests be comfortable and wear what they want. The wedding is one day, what your guests wear is of absolutely no importance to your marriage.

Is It Appropriate To Wear Red To A Wedding

You're right that you don't want to upstage the bride. I could even see a simple white dress, or a quiet black suit, but I wouldn't wear something really sexy to a wedding. You want people to pay attention to the bride.
A wedding is a good place to meet new people--if your the brides friend you might meet one of the groom's friends or relatives. But still he would want to know that you're a person who doesn't need the spotlight all the time.

I would think that you can wear any colour you wish to ( apart from white ), however I think the style is a little more important and I really don't think a very low cut dress would be appropriate. Your dress choice/colour sounds ok apart from that, if I were you I would get something similar that's not too low cut. Have a great day.

I'm a wedding photographer & your right about wearing white & upstaging the bride but many people wear black & alot of people wear red. so the outfit that you described sounds beautiful & I think you should wear it, if your comfortable about it being low cut than its ok!

No, do not wear red to a wedding to me, it is just too tacky. Depending on what season this wedding is in wear a color appropriate to the season. Spring weddings you should wear light pastels, summer weddings bright colors such as blues, Fall weddings you should wear fall colors such as burnt oranges, and Winter weddings darker colors such as greens.

Your outfit sounds lovely, and I really don't think that there are any "inappropriate" colours, even white really, after all, a white outfit is hardly going to upstage a bridal dress.

They shouldn't have to say anything about it, it's supposed to be understood.
I would not wear the black dress.
The red shoes and bag are not the problem-- a red dress would be.
