What colors do you where to a wedding? What colors should I not wear?

Not white. Suggest you wear light blue.

Honestly, I was just at a wedding, and I was in it, and I have realized that unless she is a serious bridezilla or unless it is a SERIOUSLY formal wedding (not semi-formal, not casual), you honestly can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Unless you come in white dress, or wearing black head to toe with a mourning veil on, it honestly will not be noticed. The bride has SO much going on and a lot of brides are stressed out about even walking in front of people, that she is not going to be offended if you wear light purple and yellow instead of red.

Obviously you should dress for the occassion, but if she is not specific, I would wear what you would wear to a nice evening out (not clubwear, and not a formal cocktail gown), or to a nice family gathering in the afternoon (depending on the time). There's nothing wrong with wearing black slacks and a white button down shirt..but I wouldn't wear a white cocktail dress. It depends a lot on the bride and the formality of the occassion, but if it's all to general, go with what's comfortable and classy.

Attire for a wedding depends on several things - time of day, location, etc. BUT a woman cannot go wrong with a cocktail (knee-length) dress, or dressy skirt/pants and a nice top.

You probably have a little black dress in your closet, right? Throw it on with some heels/dressy flats and a great pair of earrings. If the dress is strapless or spaghetti strap, take a cardigan or wrap for the ceremony (some churches are conservative about bare shoulders).

If dresses aren't your thing, think about what you would wear to church on a special occasion like Christmas, or what you would wear to work if you were going out for dinner afterward.

The only color that you CANNOT wear is white/ivory/cream - anything in that family is a no-no. You can wear a print dress with some white, or a black skirt with an ivory top, but don't wear any outfit that is mostly white. That color is reserved for the bride.

You should always stay away from white

Navy Blue is a much better dark color for a spring wedding than black

Any dress that you love

I would not have it two short or sexy

Pick a dress you love, could be any color except white

Pick a dress that you would where with your grandparents

You know, not to sexy

Some people pick dress that look like they are going Clubbing and not to a wedding

you can wear any color but white or off white. it isn't a good idea to wear one of the wedding colors either so if you are able to find that out, then great...if not, don't sweat it.

as for the style of dress...it depends upon the time of day and how formal the wedding is. most brides let their guest know if it is going to be a really formal affair requiring formal dresses and black ties, so if you didn't get that information in the invitation, it probably isn't

for a daytime (morning or early afternoon) wedding...you can wear something nice but not too dressy...like a dress or pants outfit you would wear to church on sunday,

for an evening or night time wedding, you want to go a little more formal...like a cocktail dress or something you would wear out to dinner in a really nice restaurant.

whatever your choice, try to be sure that it is not something sensational that is going to have all eyes on you because that day is about the bride and she should not have to compete with her guests for everyones attention.

Dont wear white, dress classy and modest Kind of like you were going to church You can always add a splash of color somewhere to liven things up. And wear some cute comfortable shoes. Light colors like blue green pink yellow, spring colors are great for May weddings.

If it's a black tie event, then a nice classic black cocktail dress will do. If it's an outdoorsy wedding..wear floral light airy fabric. Don't wear anything whtie, bc the attention needs to be on the bride.

Wear a dress - do not wear white, champagne, and try to stay away from black (although a combination black/white dress is perfectly fine) and anything that out does the bride (like a bright red dress with a slit up the side, lol).

Don't wear white (Bride's color) I've always been told not to wear black or red to a wedding. I don't understand the black thing but red is considered too bright and takes away from the bride. Anything else should be fine as long as it isn't too bright and flashy.

Since it'll be a May wedding, you should wear a pretty summer/spring color. Think pastels (pink. coral, yellow, mint green, baby blue, lavendar, etc.).

I call BS, white is perfectly acceptable, you will not be perceived as trying to upstage the bride in any way, as long as you're not wearing a big formal gown, a white shirt and a pair of black slacks is completely acceptable. A white skirt and a coloured belt, also completely acceptable. You want to avoid wearing all white, but you CAN wear white to a wedding. When dressing for any occasion think of what you will be trying to project, for a wedding you want to dress smart, business casual, unless it says specifically "black tie". You also want to project your age, if you are a teenager, something a little more casual, (avoiding jeans) is fine. If you are in your fifties however... a nice suit in any colour would be very nice. You want to be dressed to impress and to have fun, make sure it's comfortable and up beat. You want to avoid looking too solemn, it isn't a funeral, which is why they say black is inappropriate, black is fine, just dress it up with some colour so as not to look as though you are in mourning. Red is also completely acceptable, there are no colours that can't be worn to a wedding, just make sure you look presentable, and ready to have a good time, nothing too too formal, because then you will look like you are trying to take away the spotlight.

Of course, the best way to know for sure what to wear to a wedding is to ask the bride, she will let you know what she feels is appropriate or not. I am a bride myself, and I don't care what people wear to my wedding as long as they come.

OKAY, in the archaic book of wedding etiquette from 100 years ago, white was faux pas to wear to a wedding. BECAUSE WHITE WAS THE ONLY COLOUR A BRIDE WEARS. NOW A DAYS!!! now, brides wear any colour they want, ASK YOUR BRIDE if she would prefer you not wear white, if she says she doesn't care, than white is fine.
