It is my brother in law&#8217;s wedding. (let me tell you, I am his only sister). He has 3 brothers, his oldest brother is my husband (which he will be in the wedding with all his family). This means I am the only one in the family who won&#8217;t be in the wedding and I will be sitting by myself or people I don&#8217;t know (not too thrilled about this).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the colors the bridesmaids are wearing is apple red, full length, quite formal dresses. The time for the wedding is 1 or 3 pm on May 29th. Since my husband and everyone in the family is in the wedding, I wanted to wear a full length dark red to burgandy dress. I know that a lot of times this color is not acceptable, but I don&#8217;t want to look like I don&#8217;t belong in the family. Please help!<\/p>\n<h1>Rebecca Black, Etiquette By Rebecca<\/h1>\n<p>Dear Sister,<\/p>\n<p>You are not in the wedding party or a mother, so you would be expected to dress as a guest. It would not be appropriate for you to dress as one of the bridesmaids. Red or any color close to this would not be polite to wear.<\/p>\n<p>If this is a Catholic wedding, it may be formal for the guests. This means suits or very nice short dresses for the ladies. If this is not a Catholic wedding, it may not be considered as formal. So, you could wear what you would to a nice restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to the people sitting around you at the wedding and they won&#8217;t be strangers for long.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first post to this forum but I have been having a hard time finding something appropriate to wear to this wedding.
