5 Ways to Wear Red to a Wedding in 2025

Red is bold, elegant, and effortlessly chic—making it a stunning choice for wedding guest attire. But how do you wear red without overshadowing the couple? Whether you want a subtle pop of colour or a full red statement, we’ve got you covered. Here are five stylish ways to wear red to a wedding in 2025 while keeping your look sophisticated and wedding-appropriate.

1. The Statement Fascinator 

A red fascinator is the perfect way to embrace the color without committing to an all-red outfit. Choose a structured or feathered red fascinator to add a touch of elegance to a neutral or pastel dress. This look is perfect for formal weddings, garden ceremonies, or race-day-inspired wedding themes.

💡 Style Tip: Pair a bold red fascinator with a cream, blush, or floral-print dress to create a balanced yet eye-catching wedding guest look.

Whether you choose a deep cherry red or a soft rose hue, a red dress radiates confidence and sophistication.

💡 Style Tip: Keep accessories minimal with gold or pearl accents and finish the look with a matching red fascinator or headband for a polished touch.
