I really dont know...Its a long red "asian" style dress im not sure if its too fancy for a wedding or what? I really have never been to a wedding, so is it ok.??? If not any other suggestions?
Answer
Is the wedding Asian inspired? Are you Asian? Go for it.
I know it's the bride's day, but sometimes brides get caught up in having the "perfect" wedding. I showed up to a wedding... the most important woman in the room is wearing the white (or whatever coloured) wedding dress, and chances are, if I'm at her wedding, I'm not going to forget this little fact or forget who she is.
But it could just be my background. I know alot of people think red is a forbidden colour to wear at weddings. I've been to a number of Asian (East Indian mostly) weddings and they encourage red and other bold colours on the guests. As well, in these cultures, red is seen as a colour of good fortune. So I see nothing wrong with wearing a red dress, especially if it has a cultural reference to it. Just because we don't understand it's meanings compared to western/anglo wedding traditions doesn't make it automatically wrong. But you need to be strong enough to smile sweetly at your detractors when they come to tear you apart passive aggressively.

Ideas for inexpensive wedding attendant gifts.?
Heart
I was planning on getting my bridesmaids and candlelighters a necklace from Claires that they can wear with their dress. I need ideas for the groomsmen, flowergirls, and my parents. Any ideas for inexpensive gifts. Not that they don't deserve more, I just can't affort it after all the other wedding expenses. I also have a question about the ceremony. We are giving roses during the ceremony to our mothers. I have a step mother as well. I don't want to not give her one and hurt her feelings but if I do give her one I'm afraid it may hurt my mother since she is the one that's always been there. What is you opinion. Thank you so much!
Answer
We gave our groomsmen Chicago Bears t-shirts and Bears coaster sets. The flowergirl got a little purse with her initial on it. My mom and mother in law, I gave them little presents instead of flowers. I gave them both framed pressed flowers.
If you are giving roses, colors of roses have meaning. Give your mom one that is red (love) and your step mother yellow (friendship). Other meanings: pink - gratitude and appreciation; light pink - admiration; peach - gratitude; white - reverence, humility, purity.
