A red dress for a wedding – yes, that works perfectly well. The only color that is reserved is white, and red has long been one of the most flattering colors for a wedding guest. Here, we have gathered our red, wine-colored, and burgundy dresses that work for both the ceremony and the party.

For an evening wedding with a dress code of jacket or dark suit, a wine-colored maxi dress or a lace dress in burgundy is the best choice – muted red tones feel more understated than bright red and do not steal the spotlight. For a summer wedding or a daytime ceremony, a shorter red dress works nicely.
