Firstly congratulations - my son got married recently too. The brides mother was intending to wear a red outfit but was told by her mother that because it is a colour associated with 'harlots' it wasn't suitable for a wedding...lol. She did change to blue so as not to offend anyone. But at the end of the day it's up to you and I bet you'll look smashing whatever you choose...I wore green & cream. |

My mum wore red to my wedding and looked fabulous. Yes it was red red but it was a beautiful suit very demure and it was a Christmas wedding.
Wear what you are comfy in but always bear in mind if the style is suitable for the wedding more than the colour and enjoy the day. |

I love red and wear it whenever possible. And it is totally ok to wear red at a wedding - lets face it, you bought the outfit because you like it and feel comfortable in it. So wear it with joy |

as someone else said it shouldn't matter but I remember my friends son recently married and the mother of the bride wore a cartwheel hat and dramatic outfit and people were quite scathing about her trying to outshine the bride etc.
I think it's difficult because you want to look your best and don't want to dress in a way that isn't you. I'd say that if you are happy with your outfit and your son and his bride are too then stuff everyone else but if they express reservations have a rethink and wear that gorgeous red outfit another time.
Just a thought but is there some way you could make it less red, by teaming the skirt with another jacket or adding a lighter coloured blouse...something like that?
whatever happens I hope its a great day for all of you |

If you bought it because you thought it looks nice then wear it xx
The only colour i wouldn't wear is white as people get confused so called who's the bride 
A bit funny how your son's saying somthing to you ... just wondering if he's had a nudge from his wife to-be? |

When my cousin got married all her bridesmaids wore red, a lot of the guests wore red and it looked lovely in the pictures. It was a winter wedding and the bride had chosen that as the theme colour. |

Well I wore a very vivid coloured 50s dress which had reds, purples, yellows, pinks etc and I wore a pink ballroom dance petticoat underneath and very high heeled print shoes and a big hat to my best friends wedding.
She wanted me to go as I would want to, she knows I have a quirky dress sense as we've been friends for many years and so for me to dress fairly ordinary just wouldn't be me. She didn't want that so she told me to go with my own ideas. We did have a great time choosing my outfit together though.
When it comes to my sons wedding no doubt I shall be the same. My boys are so used to me dressing the way in a fairly coloiurful way so it wouldn't feel unusual to them. Weddings are about celebration and whilst its appropriate to look smart, I feel people should adhere to their individual style rather than looking out of place in something just because its deemed appropriate |

Many, many years ago putting Red and White at a Wedding wasn't heard of as it was looked at being symbols of Blood and Tears. My great aunt of 86 will still not except flowers with these two colours together!!. The meaning went out of the window years' ago. I was a bridesmaid 30yrs ago and flowers were Red and White. Team the suit with black shoes and bag, with either a hat and buy a red flower to put on the brim or fascinator with the two colours. Enjoy the celebrations. |
