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

My boyfriends nephew is getting married in May and we're invited to the wedding. Because the only times I have ever been to a wedding, I was in them, I'm not sure exactly what to wear or even what color. Can someone please help me!

    As an addition to the previous answers... it is fashion faux pa to wear the SAME colors as the wedding party. So try to find out what they are wearing.. and don't.

    Typically you want to stay away from white. Usually women wear black as not only is it slimming but it is your best shot at not wearing the same color as the bridesmaids. And it's okay to be short but not TOO short as it is a wedding. Whatever you choose should be comfortable with you.

    Nothing white

    Nothing bright neon, ecclectic colours, fluorescent is just a no :)

    Go for something that suits your skin tone, nothing dark cos its a spring wedding, plus you don't want to look like youre going to a funeral.

    Something like pastel pink, green or blue? A muted yellow. Anything goes at a wedding apart from white, and don't go in something youre not comfortable in
