So today while going to her dress fitting my MIL whose also a bridesmaid let me know she too will be wearing red lipstick. Her dress and shoes are red as well as my MOH who I now think will probably want to wear red lipstick it’s an obvious choice goes with the dress. I too am wearing ruby woo red lipstick by MAC. Upon mentioning this to our MUA she says not to be messy but I think they should’ve chose another color once you mentioned you were wearing a red lip. She says she’ll make sure my look is more enhanced. I’ve never believed in theory of dulling down your bridal party so you can sparkle it’s your big day so you will sparkle any way and the better your bride tribe looks the better they feel better pics etc. should I let my MUA suggest to them to wear a different lip? Or should I just go with my thinking this wedding stuff has way more to stress over than red lipstick no one can upstage me on my day? Opinions please.

I would say let them wear whatever makes them feel beautiful. I don’t think by wanting to wear a red lip they’re trying to outshine you, just trying to look and feel their best. You want everyone to feel confident especially with all the pictures! No one can outshine the bride especially with something so simple. I know we sometimes get wrapped up in all the little details but in the grand scheme of things it’s not worth the stress.

I honestly think this is ridiculous of your MUA to even suggest and it sounds like she’s trying to cause drama where there isn’t any. Everyone in my bridal party, myself included, wore a red lip color (myself and MOH wore the exact same color) and it was not a big deal at all. Your lip color vs. anyone else’s is not what people are going to be noticing.

I was great with the other ladies above. Do not stress about such a little things as lipstick. You will outshine everyone on your day and I’m sure you want everyone to look and feel their best too

I thought that for second too until she further elaborated how some brides have big issues with that type of thing and one bride even tried to demand a refund after seeing herself vs her sister in law. But I thanked her for the heads up and I am confident I will look great and they will too. My sister felt 100 percent opposite she wants her bridal party to all wear the same hue of lip color but no remotely near hers. Guess it just depends on the bride. Glad to hear I’m not the only one whose okay with us all wearing red.

Yes I felt crazy even asking the question but there’s so many areas to follow protocol and traditions and then others go with the flow. I’m not a traditional bride by any means so I’m not sure if I’m dropping the ball sometimes.

I’m not traditional either, some things I want to stay traditional with but other things if they don’t make sense to you or they make you uncomfortable you don’t have to do them, it’s your wedding! Truly all that matters is that you’re getting married to the love of your life. I try not to let the little stuff stress me out because at the end of the day the marriage is what’s important here, the wedding is just one day.

Usually MUA work hard on making sure the bride is a little more enhanced than her bridal party anyways, so I agree with everyone else, don’t stress about the red lip. You want everyone to feel comfortable and beautiful on your day.

Your MUA is overstepping and causing completely unnecessary drama. Your bridal party should be able to wear whatever color lipstick they want. I would tell your MUA to keep her opinions to herself.

It seems like you are really chill about this which is good and how it should be... it really bugs me when brides are concerned about their friends “upstaging” them. As long as they’re not wearing a big white gown, no one will be confused about who the bride is and you’ll be standing out plenty! You have a good mindset and attitude and you should stick with it. Don’t let your MUA talk you into being a bridezilla 😂

Telling another woman to avoid red lips (when it's a very common color) is completely out of line.

No matter what the color I could be wrong but to me I never thought it was that serious but in this planning process I’ve had the MUA say what we are discussing and even had a few guest ask if there is any color I prefer they’d not wear🧐 I was like um well what color DON’T you like? Well don’t wear that color? Never knew there was so much etiquette around this all.

Hahaha if it makes you feel better about that, I pee ALL THE TIME (like seriously I usually have to go like once an hour even if I don’t drink much, it’s bizarre) and I didn’t have to pee my entire wedding somehow!

I wouldn't stress over lipstick colors. I think it was petty for your MUA to even suggest it. Go with your gut and you'll shine because it's your day and you are the bride!

I agree with what PPs have said - at the end of the day, the bride is gonna stand out regardless and the bride is who people look at
i can see a part of your worry though because my MOH had the same hair style as me, practically. but obviously she's not gonna be mixed up for the bride, ya know? so same theory goes here - you are not gonna be upstaged

Unless someone shows up in a white dress, no one will upstage the bride. Red is a common lipstick color for formal events anyway.

I think I’m so laid back about it all I don’t even care if someone wears a white dress. I’m going to be happy and look great and his eyes will be me and mine on him. Now if someone wears a wedding dress we may have to talk 😂 but seriously I just want everyone to have a great time.
