Do not wear red to a wedding. Just don’t. Ok there is more to it, but really, don’t wear the color red. And while I’m at it, in case you didn’t know, white is never okay either. Although these are both personally something I dislike, there are etiquette reasons for avoiding these colors as well.

You should avoid white because that color is typically reserved for the bride. It’s one day in her life that is strictly ALL ABOUT HER. Don’t try to steal it. Wearing white is like you are trying to compete with her — think who wore it best. Not cool.
