Wedding Clothes Etiquette question

Very pretty. I think it's see-through, if you look at the bottom of the pic on the mannequin.

I only mention it, as I remember my Sister going ape when I told her that her white Bikini was see-through when wet. After she'd worn it for two summers!!! LOL

That's ok if you're wearing black trousers and the tunic is see thru then wear a black cami on the top ......

LOL you mean sister you!

It might be - I did wonder myself.

I'm trying to behave which is why I've gone for the 3/4 sleeved dress. I have a lovely dress in the wardrobe which fits like a dream but I have 1/2 arm tattoo which I really dont think she'd like in the photos, and as the dress is capped sleeves I dont think it's appropriate for her day.

.....you could always turn side on for the photos ...............and give one of those over the shoulder model pouts......

Hi ya
I'm getting married in May (am I boring anyone with that yet ????), and I have ask my mum and mother in law to be to avoid white, cream and ivory - but that is just me.
I think you ought to ask your sister before you purchase, perhaps show her a photo of it.

ah congratulations - I hope you have a lovely.

I've asked my sister and she's just said she doesn't care what I wear and if I want to wear a short sleeved dress in May it's my butt that will be frozen

sorted

[Bagpuss]

Perfect, and you will look beautiful, such a lovely tunic !!
Hope it all goes well for your sis

My mum wore white to my wedding, I bought the dress for her. And my sister wore cream(as a brides maid) they looked great in the pics. Maybe you could wear a nice cardi in the pics/at the ceremony then take it off for the evening. I wore cream to a wedding recently and felt quite self concious until the mother of the bride complimented my dress.
Ok it with your sister and you'll be fine.
Also, May will probably be warm though, it usually is.

Lizzy I looked at the eBay dress, a couple of things I noticed (cos I'm picky) ... it is "sheer" and seems to be lined with a metallic thread polyester lining. Would that make you sweat or itch?

Also, reading the seller's feedback, the sizes are a bit optimistic (on the small side) with some of his items. Probably best to check the actual bust/waist/hip in inches before you buy

To be honest this thread has confused me rather, I didn't care in the slightest what people wore to my wedding, I was just really plesed that they were there to share the day with me. If you like the outfit and feel comfortable in it then wear it. Obviously it would be a bit odd if you wore a big white dress but anything else is absolutely fine.

PS - don't understand the colour scheme thing either as whilst it's normal to have a scheme in relation to your table clothes, bridesmaid dresses or whatever but it's really rather rude to tell your guests to wear certain colours etc.

I was going to buy a purple dress to wear to a friends wedding, but found out that the bridesmaids and mother of the bride were wearing purple, waistcoats and cravats of the men were purple and the chair covers and table coverings were also purple...

I didn't want to look like part of the wedding party/furniture etc, so changed what I was going to buy!

[jackie j]

As the Mother of the Bridegroom to my sons wedding in April I havent even looked at what I will wear yet. I dont want to clash with the bridesmaids, nor do I want the same colour. I want to contrast with it

[buzzingtalk]

God forbid if I ever get married, but if I do - the dress code will be 'I don't care!' Leggings, a baggy top and my trusted leopard print dm's are all I need haha

good luck making a choice though and have fun

[Glutton4...]

All my single life I said I would wear jeans or jodhpurs to my wedding, and if people didn't like it, well, that was their problem.

I wore a suit

Lovely tunic lizzylemon. Lucky you to be able to consider wearing it - it would show too many michelin man bumps on me

Good for you for making it clear to them Bagpuss. My mum-in-law wore a white dress and a flower in her hair to our wedding - she looked more like a bride than I did which cheesed me off a bit. We only had a small wedding as Madmax's dad was a hostage in Iraq at the time, but I really thought the daft mare would have had more decorum
