What to wear to a wedding

If the dark colored, versatile clothes are who you are, then that is what you should wear. Accessorize with something light or bright, maybe. Or you can wear some other nice jewelry pieces. It is fall and more sober clothes are okay. You are not one of the wedding party are you? Then it does not really matter.

Dark colors are definately okay to wear to a wedding. In fact, it is fashionable to wear black to a wedding. DH & I got married last December and almost everyone was wearing black or a very dark color (even I was wearing black & eggplant).

I went to a wedding last weekend at a country club and wore a black suit. There were others in black suits also but did notice the majority of the ladies, ages varied, wore black, sleeveless dresses. Others wore various dresses but did notice most of them were also sleeveless. I think almost anything goes today. Because it is officially fall I would have guessed more people would wear dark colors. I wore a basic necklace because. Well, nobody asked me to leave! Also, very few women had on pantyhose or any kind of nylons. Most were in dress sandals. Have fun.

You can wear anything you want! The last wedding I went to some girls were even wearing jeans. I also saw one woman wearing black during that same wedding.

I think you can get away with the dark colors. Especially now as fall is right around the corner. Perhaps a scarf or something to brighten it up if you wanted but I don't believe that would be necessary.

i thinks darker colours are best suited u should not be to flashy so as not to cause too much attention sfterall it is not ur weeding u shold just be allright

I think it would be OK to wear dark colors, especially since fall is here. You might try adding some colorful accessories to brighten the dress up for the occasion!

I was going to respond, but I see after reading the thread that you have made a decision on what to wear. What you have chosen sounds lovely, and perfect! I was going to say too (which has already been said!) that black has actually become quite a popular bridesmaid color! I really think a lot of those old 'rules' are going by the wayside! Have a wonderful time at the wedding!

There is nothing wrong with wearing dark colours to a wedding, the last wedding I attended I wore a royal purple velvet dress with a black spiderweb overdress. One of the guests wore a lovely blak suit with a sappire blue shirt, so be comfortable hun

hi paidreader here the girls wear black to a formal occasion it looks more orderly than wearing other colors it's okay if you want to wear a brighter color, as long as you can keep your look chic everything will look great on you happy dressing paidreader ^^

These days, it doesn't seem to matter what you wear to any event! I would go with comfort myself! Anyway, after reading through the responses, I see that you have decided to wear gray with silver threads through it, and it sounds perfect and very elegant. Silver jewellery will be great with it, and I think you will look very classy! Good luck.

Personally, I think it would be better to wear light colors to a wedding because it is a happy moment. However, there are also some people, espeically stars, they like to wear black dresses, which look also beautiful. Anyway, you don't have to be worry about dressing, just choose what you like and what make you beautiful. That's ok.

I think it is alright to wear dark colours, as long as you are not the bride or the star of the occasion (I suppose you are not the bride's fairy godmother, right?). Just dress your best and be presentable, and you should be fine.

Wear whatever makes you feel good & is comfortable. If you don't want to be all over dark colors, how about putting something colorful in there like a red or pink tank/camisole with a dark suit? Accessories can add a little color too. If the wedding is a night time event then dark colors are fine. You don't need to look like you're part of the wedding party anyhow =)

I would say yes it's ok!!!

Sure - just dress it up..some jewelry, a purse, fancy shoes. It is almost OCtober not May.

Hello there, my answer to your question is: it is OK to wear dark colors to attend a wedding. The reason your mother-in-law suggested maybe it is because they like you to have an image changed so that you look more stunning and different than other occasions. However, light color may not suit your skin color or figure etc. If you don’t mind to spend a bit more on consulting a makeup expert, you may find the light color dress that really suits you. Otherwise, you can still wear the black dress but match with the light color accessories like: peal earring, necklace, white evening bag and white high heel sandals. Alternatively, you can use the silver, golden or red accessories in a set. Believe me, you will look stunning!

Hi there paidreader! Yeah, I think it's ok. But on my part, I love light/bright colors.. It reflects a happy feeling (know what i mean?)since it is a wedding, its a celebration. But if you are more comfortable with the dark colors, hey, suits yourself. What is important is that you're there to celebrate with them!
