I don't much like the traditional white wedding dresses myself, - they seem very old-fashioned now.

I can't remember the last time I went to a wedding where the bride did wear white.

I'd keep quiet about that if I were you ...

DH wore his suit, but he had his appalling parka jacket on top when he walked into church. (Actually it was the replacement for the appalling parka jacket, but we'll let that pass.)

So he walked up to the front of church, then walked to the back to hang his coat up. I'm told this caused some amusement to the assembled throng, who thought he might have changed his mind.

I, of course, was busy being fashionably late. In a very plain cream dress I'd made myself.

I got married in my shorts and t shirt as did my DH first time I had an ivory cocktail dress..never fancied the big white dress myself.

Go for red if that's what you want - It's your day to wear what YOU want, not what everybody else wants/expects!

My DD gets married later this month and she's wearing a gold knee length dress and looks absolutely stunning. She's not having flowers either. Her Sis is her only bridesmaid and she's wearing a lovely dress she has in her wardrobe! Good on her, it's their wedding so it's up to them what they want to do.

I wore an ivory jersey maxi dress that I bought in the C&A sales, a big floppy hat and carried a basket of dried flowers! That was in the 70's. I thought I looked lovely!

I'm not even marrying in traditional 'english' wedding attire, I intend to go my mothers ethnicity and wear a traditional Thai wedding dress. They are absolutely lovely and come in a range of colours and styles like these:

Wear whatever you like
White wedding dresses only became tradition after Queen Victoria wore a white lace gown, everyone wore coloured dresses before that with red being a popular choice:)

My wedding dress was oyster (a shimmering gold) as I'm very fair, don't tan, and fake tan was rare when I got married.

I tried on all the white, cream and ivory dresses in the dress shop and I looked like a ghost in all of them. I actually looked like I was alive in this dress, which was good as I fell in love with it on the rack!

Wear what you want, it's your day.
