What NOT To Wear to a Wedding
So the wedding invitation has been hanging on your refrigerator for a few weeks and now that the date is here, you realize that you have no idea what you are going to wear. Before you make the mad dash to your closet to scan your wardrobe for wearable outfits, there are a few tried and true rules to stick to. You don’t want to be that girl that shows up and takes attention away from the happy couple, and you really don’t want to be the girl that the mother of the bride scowls at all night either. Take a look at 10 rules to stick to when preparing to attend your next wedding!

Rule #1: No White
While this rule has been in existence for about as long as its been custom for the bride to wear white, there are still a select few individuals that need to be reminded (we’re looking at you Pippa!). Wearing white to a wedding is rude and considered disrespectful to the bride, as it takes some of the attention off of the bride (as Pippa did to sister Kate at the Royal Wedding). Lately, however with the forever evolving customs, brides have chosen cream or ivory gowns for their wedding party and even requested that their guests wear white, but if this is not the case, then just don’t do it!

Post a CommentI went to a Mid-West wedding a few years ago (2007) and in the back of my mind I figured conservative, probably almost everyone will be wearing black (formal affair). And I was right! Unfortunately, my Western culture begged me to wear color, so I did, and then I felt embarrassed! So find out the region you are going to and stick with their brand of fashion, and you won’t feel like a goof like I did!
No black or white at a wedding. The LBD is a classic, but mourning colors have no place at a wedding!!
I hate when people wear black to a a wedding…good advice
Yeah, no kidding…..no one should wear white to a wedding!
I had someone (a cousin) wear a black short, almost skanky dress with hot pink heels. To my other cousins wedding rehearsel her shirt said Do I make you look fat? And my other cousin is a big girl, I thought that was very inappropriate.
of course you dont wear white…you cant overshadow the bride!!
nice
I agree with ever tip!
I don’t see anything wrong with the black dress.
Nothing to revealing and short.
You know, I have no problem with people wearing black to weddings. I had several people wear black to mine. I didn’t think it was bad at all! Now, I did have one cousin wear white. Normally I would have agreed that this is a no-no, but she was giving us her beach house for a week for the honeymoon, so…honestly, she could have worn anything she wanted!
dont look like a ho at the wedding
lol hhaaha
The little black dress is so classic, why not wear it to the wedding?
I agree with the no jeans rule.
What’s better: flip flops or bare feet? (I prefer the latter, but don’t think it matters).
Certain people can wear pant suits.
No white = no brainer.
I love the dress in the middle
