*Indian Wedding*
Edit: oh my gosh thank you so much for all your messages; that has made me feel loads better! I was very nearly not going to wear it!
The bride is the most beautiful woman I know inside and out so I just didn’t want to offend her or her family in any way.
Thank you all so much; can’t wait for the big day now! Xx
I’ve been invited to an Indian wedding which I am really excited about. I found this dress on Vinted and bought it but have just read online that you shouldn’t wear red as the bride normally wears red. I’ve sent a photo of the dress to the bride and she said it looks lovely but I’m worried this will be offensive. She is the most loveliest woman on the planet so I know she wouldn’t want to upset me. Please can anyone tell me if this would be an appropriate dress? Xx
 
Tbh you shouldn’t worry about it, most people wear what they want unless the bride has specifically told you not to wear red x
 
There's not too much red in it and anyway the bride may not wear red and she'll be so decked up that there will be no mistaking thats she's the bride. Wear it, go and have a great time xx
 
That is fine. Its a beautiful dress. Traditionally asian bride would wear red saree or long dress. This is now slowly changing and are open to more colours. The bride would wear all over red but otbers can wear red too and yours has only some part in. Trust me i been to wedding where guest have worn almost same as bride and its like seriously. But u got nothing to worry about. I would say wear some golden colour jelwellery and gold shoes to match outfit. Either a red or gold colour handbag be nice. Hope u have a fab day. Ps this is similar to an outfit i have and i worn it to a wedding before.
 
this will be absolutely fine as these days not all brides wear red and yours is not just red. Infact traditions have evolved it also depends on from which part / culture and religion the bride is.
 
Lovely choice and you will be absolutely fine to wear this. Brides can wear red amongst lots of other colours and her outfit will most likely be a different style. Hope you have a lovely time.
 
I'm sure she would be more happy that you have taken the time to find & wear traditional dress, you wear it with pride it's beautiful x
 
There will be no mistaking the bride on her day. This dress is fine and it's not even completely red. It's great to wear bits of red and lots of gold to wish the happy couple prosperity.
 
What a beautiful thoughtful friend you are, enjoy and I’m sure you will look and feel amazing. I’m sure she would have let you know if she felt it was inappropriate on any level x the world definitely needs more you’s x
 
It's a gorgeous dress. Don't worry about the red as not all indian brides wear red. The fact your friend has complimented your choice of dress shows she has no issues with it. You will see so many people wearing some form of red x
 
Wear it, I would but if u feel it will clash u won’t feel happy. U need to feel happy in your clothing. What’s the scarf like to this?
 
This is nothing like an Indian bridal dress, you won't be able to mistake the bride. Wear it and enjoy the day. You are a lovely person to be even concerned, most wouldn't. Don't worry x
