I'm Chinese and my cousin is too; she's getting married at a destination wedding on a beach. I bought this dress to wear:

Do you guys think it's too reddish? It's kind of coral/pink/orange-y in real life. My bf thinks it's more orange than red, and that it's okay.

Click on the link! I'm not sure how to put in photos. (For the Chinese community, wearing red is like wearing white to a Western wedding--its' the bride's color, though I don't think my cousin will be wearing red.)

Personally I think it's fine. Chinese bridal red is much more vivid (from what I remember at least). But if you're worried about it at all I'd send a picture of the dress to the bride and just say "Hey, is it ok if I wore this dress to your wedding?". That way you get a straight answer.
