magda Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 The "don't wear black to a wedding" rule is a thing of the past. Depending on where you are. Still, it's better to save for evening weddings.
Outcast Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 So ask what time it is and where it's being held. It makes a big difference to how dressy you get and what you wear.
Author Jilly10340 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Posted December 13, 2005 Ok, so I asked the guy I'm going with and he said that it's at 3:30/4:00. So......now what do you guys think? Is this considered a night wedding?

Is this considered a night wedding? yes because its going to extend into the evening. unless you're planning on leaving at 5:30pm.

Is this considered a night wedding? Yes, its considered a night wedding. Logically Speaking: Find an outfit that accentuates your curves. If you have a fair complexion, wear a neutral or dark coloured outfit. If you have a tanned complexion, wear a light coloured outfit. Take into account, your hair colour. This helps distinguish off-sets in your look. In general, you should know exactly which type of outfits work best for your body. Weddings are stressful, but fun too.
Author Jilly10340 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Posted December 13, 2005 I know that the dress looks good, I just don't know if it's too dressy for a wedding. I mean, I don't want to stand out or feel awkward if everyone else is more under-dressed than me.
alphamale Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I mean, I don't want to stand out or feel awkward if everyone else is more under-dressed than me. its always better to be over-dressed than under-dressed.
pearlsasinger Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 A sparkly dress sounds like a bit much. Unless you can find a way to dress it down (with a cardigan or wearing your hair down), I would go for something else. I went to 4 weddings last summer, all nice, and I saw girls wear black at each of them. If you're worried about looking too depressing, maybe you could pair it with a bright scarf, belt or another bright accessory to offset it. Except for white or offwhite, I think any color is acceptable.
l2hvn Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 first off, wearing black to a wedding is fine! in fact, i was just at a friend's wedding this past weekend and wore my simple (yet sexy) black dress... any woman has to have that simple black dress for any occassion.... the rule is: as long as you're not wearing white (or any shade close to it like ivory, etc.), and not upstaging the bride, it's fine... second, jilly, it does sound a bit too much.. sparkly blue halter dress.. but if you really like that dress, i suggest you wear a shawl (maybe in silver or any neutral color) to give it a more elegant look. hope that helps... and btw, it's better to go over-dressed than under-dressed!
FireReady Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I know that the dress looks good, I just don't know if it's too dressy for a wedding. I mean, I don't want to stand out or feel awkward if everyone else is more under-dressed than me. If you don't want to stand out, the safest color to go with has to be black. And it's perfect for this season because it's a cool color and it's classy and can be elegant. Whereas light-colored dresses are more suitable for summer/spring events. Oh and if you go in black, you can dress it up or down, depending on hair style, make up, shoes, the works. So you have a lot of room to play around with.
Author Jilly10340 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah, I've agreed to just go with basic black. I have my "little black dress" that I can wear that would look nice. Someone on here said the sparkles might be a bit much and I completely agree. Thanks for everyone's opinion!
slubberdegullion Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 and btw, it's better to go over-dressed than under-dressed! But it's even better to go undressed. Not at the wedding. I mean my place. methinks I have an idea for the Hot Friday thread...
