Can I wear a red wedding dress for my second wedding? It will be around Valentine's Day 2006. Is it inappropriate or acceptable? It will be a small, family wedding with no more than 20 family members, no bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc.

It's really all about the bride on the day of the wedding. At a second wedding you can have a little more fun with the look too.
There is no rule that says the bride can't wear red or any color for that matter. Wearing white or ivory is just a custom or right of passage that we have.
I think the red would be fun and romantic for valentines day. Your party sounds small and intimate too so you don't have to go crazy with the tradition.

And, from an etiquette point of view, it is perfect if you feel good in it. There are no rules about color anymore. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now

My Sister got married in Red for her second wedding at 34yrs of age here in Australia.It was a winter wedding. We were all 'floored' when she arrived by both style, elegance and colour of her dress. She complimented her dress with crystal in her necklace, earrings and bracelet. Her hair was loosely pulled up with an occasional simple red flower and her shoes finished off her elegance. I have attached some pics for you.
I would like to add- there is red and there is RED when it comes to a wedding dress. Personally I find the richer shades of red much more attractive. But then on the day isnt it all about how YOU as a bride feels? You are getting married after all for you and your love - not to satisfy anyone elses opinion on the day. I have seen white dresses that I feel are tacky and inappropriate (modesty wise) I think 'colour' is just that - a colour!

I think it would be beautiful! My fiances' grandma told me that over 50 years ago she wore a red wedding gown and her 4 bridesmaids wore white. She said her favorite color was red and she wanted to wear it and didn't care what people thought. I thought this was odd esxpecially back in the 40's since she is a very religious person. I don't think there is any rules for the color. If there was, there would not be many people wearing white anymore when they get married.
I would go with whatever you want. I am sure you will look gorgeous.
