There´s no rule for guests proper wedding attire, but you should still proceed with caution. If it´s a subtle red and a fairly informal dress, it would be fine with nude hose for a daytime wedding. If the dress is fire-engine red and rather slinky, it wouldn´t be proper for either a day or evening wedding. If you´re going to an evening wedding and you have a dark red, tasteful ´dressy´ dress that isn´t flashy, it´s up to you. You don´t want to steal the bride´s thunder---ask yourself, "Would it be awkward if I were wearing this and standing next to the bride?" Where you live might also be taken into consideration; in a large city, no one would bat an eye if you wore red to a formal evening wedding, but in a smaller town or suburb, it could be viewed as a fashion faux pas. If you want to be perfectly safe, find another dress.
