I am getting married in Feb (07) ... just after Valentines day. I love red. I wanted my maid/honor dress to be red (somewhat wine colored)...Would it be inappropriate for wedding dress to be red and my maid/honor to wear white (she is the only person besides flower girl), then the flower girl to wear white w/red?
I love red also and feel that it is a good choice. The one problem is the bridesmaid in white. This may be confusing and will probably be distracting for the guests.
I don't think that there are any 'rules' against it, but there are better color choices. Look at some other complimentary colors. Perhaps black, platinum, or ... I'm not very good with colors. But, I'm sure you will be able to find something you love other than white.
It might be confusing to have the colors reversed between you and the MOH. I love the fact that you want a red wedding dress. In my opinion, I feel the only reason why you want the MOH is white is because you want her to be neutral and her color to compliment yours. If I am right, here are my suggestions...
There are many colors that look great with red. Red is such a rich color that you will want your MOH to be in a color that compliments it. The white might be too harsch and bright. I suggest having her wear champagne, gold or a latte (light brown) dress. This way it is still neutral, it goes with red, and it is a rich and warm color. Plus if you want your flower girl to be in a dress with your color (red) and the MOH's color it will be a nice combination. You can still have white be an accent color for the rest of your color scheme. However make sure that it is a soft white like, diamond white, bone or ivory.
Red dress?
