Just remember to adjust this to different countries, black in my country is definently not a good choice...A normal party and funerals, no weddings if possible..
I feel like it’s the case in most countries, under every single one of these videos I see people of various countries comment this (I have as well) The s in us is for strange sometimes
Just like in my country where in some weddings, the bride will not be wearing white so it's an okay colour to wear, but then there's this other wedding from a certain culture where red is the bride and groom's colour so no one else should be wearing it. So, yeah, definitely adjust to the type of wedding and where you live.
Step 4 pay attention to the wedding you were going to and dress accordingly... I helped a bride plan a white party for her wedding, she wore a beautiful dusty rose wedding dress. No one was allowed to wear pink.
@@ladyinsomnia7951 The color white symbolizes new life and beginning (unstained by life events), where black is the color of death and mourning. Wearing black to a wedding can mean you believe the couples relationship is dying - or that it is something for the families to grieve instead of celebrating (the whole point to the wedding!) Disclaimer this is just what it means in my area and culture. Different for everyone!
@build a b*tch yeah i agree people don't wear their wedding dresses to other people's wedding.. But i think what she is trying to say is that.. They can.. It's not a big issue.. Another thing is.. the weddings have many functions.. maybe people won't wear their exact wedding day dress but i see people their engagement dresses or haldi dresses or Sangeet dresses to other functions all the time
I agree in India people wear colorful wedding dresses, they are shiny and jewelry is also very important plus a bride wears different make up like bindi on forehead and mehndi and different jewelry, that is how a bride stands out than rest of the guests. I know many women who wore their wedding saree in some else's wedding just not with that much makeup or jewelry.
In my culture, wearing black clothes in the wedding is not appropriate (unless it's the theme) most weddings I've been to either have themes or i'd just ended up wearing what I think is appropriate for a wedding. And ofc my mom also told me to never wear white dresses at any wedding.
I LOVE Indian weddings. I want something similar but not the exact thing because I am not Indian. Everyone dressed so nice and happy. I think THAT'S how a wedding should be. Not focusing on having all the attention to yourself but rather being happy and having fun.
I was taught not to wear black to a wedding, it's old fashioned but some might definitely be offended so better to avoid it unless the bride specifically says it's alright!
@@violetkalico It's not about being a death omen, it's just considered rude in many cultures, including traditional American culture. Do with the facts what you will. 🤷🏻♀️
I specifically requested that everyone wear shades of black, white, and gray to our wedding. (It was a courthouse elopement with just our parents and kids in attendance so it's not like I was making a ridiculous bridezilla request lol) My mom and MIL both wore white/ivory and they looked BEAUTIFUL! It's not for everyone, but if you're planning a wedding, consider allowing white! The pictures with all the white look absolutely dreamy.
Seasonally appropriate means the colours that are common in nature at the time of the wedding. Think of flowers, foliage, etc. In spring time you can wear any pastel. In summer opt for bright colors. In autumn jewel tones are great. Winter is the least colourful season, which means you can wear any colour you want. But wear whatever you want, just avoid white and you will be fine :)
For Spring and Summer you will usually find dresses in lighter and brighter colors: pastels, bright orange, yellow, lime... Lighter and flowier textiles too. For Autumn and Winter you will tipically find darker and richer colors. More structured dresses, heavier cloth... Of course these are general (and in my opinion, good) advice and you can do whatever you want or whatever the bride/groom asked in the invitation hehe. But if you are ever unsure about what to wear to a wedding, this is a good start :) Also, midi length is the safest option. Only wear long (long as in covering your feet) gowns if the wedding is at night. Short, knee length and midi are okay for day and afternoon.
Don't dress too much like you're going out or to a club. I've seen a lot of blues, greens and purples at weddings. I'd tend to avoid white, black, red and pink and anything flashy or layered.
Lower Franconian German here! **traditional** Wedding dresses here are incredibly colourful and sparkly with tones of ornamentation, wear whatever you want you can’t outshine the bride 😂
i am from India. Well India is known for its diverse culture. The bride usually wears bright red bridal lehenga and we also wear vibrant colours it can be a long one piece or a lehenga with good amount of make up and heavy jewellery and high heels. Even after getting this much ready the bride stands out with most beautiful and heavy lehanga,jewellery,make up and makeup. India is also known for its diverse food so after the wedding ceremony we also have a grand feast...........Anyway indian weddings are almost so fun
I wouldn't wear a black dress to a wedding. Maybe a skirt. I wouldn't wear super bright colors either. It might be different depending on the family though.
Good tips! Only one I disagree with is the shoes. that’s the perfect time to wear uncomfortable shoes, cause I’ll look dope for pics, but I’ll take ‘em off after for the dance floor
Omg I can't wait to get married and have a wedding with no dumb rules 💞 my wedding dress probably won't be white so anyone can wear whatever color they want, even if it's a brighter and prettier version of the color of my dress. You have a specific style you're afraid might not be allowed at my wedding ? Well, that's silly ! I invited you knowing how you dress so why would I expect you to dull your shine for my wedding ?? Of course I want it to be my perfect day but it should be fun for everyone...
Yeah same, I like to think of a wedding as a big fancy party with all the people I love. Even if someone "stole" my spotlight, I wouldnt care, I dont like it anyways lol
To each their own I suppose. As a bride, I couldn't give a shit what anyone wears. I genuinely won't notice because I'll be staring at my husband 😍😍😍 and my own dress. Good luck taking my spotlight when the only eyes I care about are my husbands. I'm not even being facetious, I just want everyone to be happy and comfortable without rules.. because I won't notice their clothes anyway 😂.
I love that I found your comment. I hope my cousin feels this way too because the only flattering dress I could find was a black dress. It doesn’t look like a I’m going to a funeral dress… and of course I meant to disrespect. Im exited to attend her wedding.
Every culture is different though. Where I'm from we can wear white cause the bride doesn't feel threatened or insecure. In fact, the bride might even get angry if you look basic.
I’d say it just depends on the wedding. If I ever get married i’m gonna be wearing dark purple because i’ve sworn to myself for all important events in my life i’m gonna wear purple. The reason is because it’s the colour of my dress that i wore to my parents wedding and it’s really important to me. If i get married no one’s allowed to wear purple because it’s my colour kinda thing, like the white dress stuff but with purple.
Honestly, I don't think most weddings are this strict. And in the end, it depends on the wedding. I wore a long black dress (with little flowers tho) and monster heels to a friends wedding. Did anyone care? Absolutely not. Her sister wore a black, revealing dress. Did anyone care? No. All eyes were on her, because that's how weddings usually work. Or maybe the US handles weddings way more serious than my culture
@@Moonlight_Shad0w I have to assume it's a bigger deal here in America. Obviously most people are pretty chill, but way too many people turn into selfish monsters. It's crazy!
Sorry to say but your choices are what make weddings look cheap or disjointed. Black is not a good choice unless is the theme as many here say and in my Mexican culture long dresses is what’s appropriate. A wedding is one of the most important milestone in a person’s life, it’s a special day so guest need to wear a special attaire
I'm having a vampire royalty themed goth wedding because me and my partner are both goth. The colors for our wedding we've already decided we'll be red, black, and gold. I'm just decided to tell everybody to wear something formal so they all look nice, and just wear black. They can wear dark makeup or natural makeup if they want to, they can wear jewelry, and as long as they're wearing something formal and not like a ripped up t-shirt and muddy jeans or boots, then it's fine. Besides, black is a flattering color no matter what kind of style you wear. Whether it's goth, any type of suit or dress or jumpsuit, just black is so flattering and it goes with everything. And they compare it with any color they want if they want to. If they want to wear just pure black and natural makeup and go for a clean girl look, I said go for it. They want to get gossed up in a different style, let them. As long as they're wearing something formal and black. As long as they're wearing something nice and flattering, and it's black, I don't care about the rest. As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's appropriate and black, I don't care if the men come and kills, or the women come and jumpsuits or pantsuits. I don't care who's wearing a dress and heels, I don't care who's winning the suit, they can do what they please.
@@violetkalico me and my partner are not engaged, but this was basically one of our agreements. Like we had a few agreements about only a few rules like no kids and no alcohol because my family gets rowdy when they're drunk and his brother is a recovering alcoholic. Also, no kids because kids make messes and our families are kind of dramatic enough that we don't need kids adding on to the stress. And basically everybody just wear black but wear something you would wear to a formal event like something nice. As long as no one shows up in muddy boots or ripped jeans or old NASCAR T-shirts from 1979, then we're fine with it. Fortunately, I have someone who is a very chill person.
Don't wear red because in some places that means you slept with the groom. Black is sort of a funeral color so maybe not. Anything too flashy may distract from the bride. Basically dress like you are going to church or Sunday brunch. And, this is the most important part, ALWAYS follow the dress code that the bride(s) and/or groom(s) have laid out for the guests. If their dress code contradicts the first few rules, then respectfully do what they say. This is their day and you should do your part to make it as magical as possible and keep all the attention on the couple.
The wearing red thing is just an internet rumor and frankly if anyone did actually believe that, i would judge them for it not the person who wears red. To be fair, i do think red is a little too flashy for a wedding
So what I am getting is not to go to a ridiculous wedding like this? Y'all just follow these traditions just to follow a tradition. And they suck. Seriously? Red for sleeping with the groom? SERIOUSLY?!
More people need to see this…some people will actually “try” to compete with bride. Tip-if you feel you have to compete with the bride, then don’t go to the wedding…remember karma.
@@Moonlight_Shad0w by embarrassing themselves and wearing too tight clothes, a super cleveage... You know... It does happen from time to time but the only result is being discretely disapproved by the rest of the guests
Just remember this is only for specific weddings, for example in my culture the bride doesn't wear white 99% of the time because it's seen as "plain" here, they wear colourful dresses with different patterns so anything that is not too explicit is ok...and black is NEVER worn on any "good" or "special" days cause it is a "bad" colour or luck
In Germany, red is also not the best choice if it's a traditional wedding / people with traditional believes are invited. There's this saying that if a lady wears red to a wedding, she had an affair with the groom.
I went to a wedding where it was the complete opposite, the bride wore an all black dress, so no one was allowed to wear black, so instead, she had all the guests wear white, it was really cool. It usually depends on what the bride wants, yes, white is normally what brides would go with, but it’s usually best to check with the bride.
Wearing black to a wedding is inappropriate in my opinion, I know others might disagree but personally I think when in doubt you should check because I've met just as many people who think it's inappropriate as people who think it is appropriate to wear to weddings.
Actually wearing black to a wedding is also inappropriate, because it is the colour of grief. In our country red shouldn't be worn either because it is the colour that the bride changes into for the dance around midnight where they "sell" the bride for a couple of dances to the guests who can give money to the couple in exchange. ( I live in Hungary it is a tradition here. Weddings turn into a huge party after the ceremony and the dinner, that lasts till the morning :D )
At my partner and I‘s wedding, we’ve specifically said we don’t give a fuck. Just show up well groomed, in nicer clothes than normal (that are a little less revealing than a classic frat party outfit), ready to celebrate. I promise that absolutely none of our guests will forget who’s getting married. And since we don’t play those weird ass “which color jelly-bracelet means you’re horny and which one means you’re crushing on someone”, luckily we won’t be assessing our loved ones for ulterior motives. So there’s very little riding on the colors our loved ones wear since thankfully, our relationship is stronger than a cousin in a cream top.
I grew up in California and the only rule I was taught was don’t wear white. Of course I usually went with floral prints but have never been to a really fancy wedding.
My aunt did at my uncle's wedding (when I say aunt I mean my uncles sister, not the woman he was marrying). Unless wearing black at a wedding is a fashion faux pas in your country like some people are saying in the comments, you should be able to wear what you want at a wedding as long as it's within the realm of reason and you're not taking attention away from the bride a groom cause its meant to be their day. That's just my opinion though.
My wedding dress is gonna be black so wear black if you want. Wear white. Go off. I don’t care as long as you’re dressed for the occasion. Edit: the amount of people who were offended (Americans) when people wore black to their wedding is amazing lol. I’m sure your day couldn’t have been that ruined.
Talk to the bride or her friends ahead of time to get a sense of what to wear (or not to). I once wore a floral tea-length dress to an afternoon garden party wedding in spring and was quite surprised to find everyone else wearing black. 🤷 I thought it was awfully formal for afternoon and somber for a wedding, but apparently that was what I should have gone with.
Just to be safe don't wear white, black, or red to the wedding. Those are reserved for funerals or the bride depending on culture. That leaves plenty of other colors!
Lol in my country the bride's sisters and the groom's sisters all wear their own wedding dresses also there's no restricted colour and everyone dresses up like there's no tomorrow
So i got married 1976 & my husbands-brothers-wife wore a solid white jumpsuit(pant). It had lining but it got warm at reception so she took liner off. So now shes a shapely blonde wearing a see-through white outfit. Seriously
Fun story: My mom and I had gone dress shopping and I had gotten this really nice lilac colored dress. Well, turns out that that was the color of the bridesmaids dresses. My cousins were all like “Hey, were matching!!”
Someone wore a short romper to my formal wedding and ruined the group reception photo by standing next to us posing with her guy with her leg in the air …Now I’m happily divorced and she’s now married to that groomsmen …so who cares but still, tactless lol
Guys, wearing a black dress to a wedding is also pretty rude. When everyone does this it looks like a funeral. Just because it's the easiest thing to do for you doesn't make it an appropriate choice! 🙈
Reading comments, I had forgotten about a few things to not wear as a guest…very helpful as I will be attending one in a month 😯 wow that time is gonna fly
I'm goth and even I know to not wear black to a wedding unless I was specifically allowed to xD My brother for example didnt care so I could wear black but my ex boyfriends stepmother asked me to not wear black, which is fine, I get that people dont necessarily want someone wearing black at their wedding.
This is good base line. Also I think if the bridal / groom's party care that much they should put that on the invitation. I'm gonna do that if I get maried.
These are good tips if you are doubtful. I would add that a navy blue midi dress is probably something you can never go wrong irrespective of the season of time of the wedding.
An alternative to the little black dress is a navy dress. I just got a midi length 3/4 sleeve lace navy dress for a wedding my husband and I will be attending next week.
I was always told to never wear black to a wedding. I'm goth so I pretty much only have black dresses. When I tell you I was freaking tf out about what to wear for my brother's wedding bc I didn't want to bring bad luck to them by wearing a bla k dress
I went to my cousin’s wedding and was her flower girl and just so happened to pick out a dress that was the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses without knowing what colour their dresses were going to be. It was perfect and my cousin loved it since I fitted in perfectly with her bridesmaids.
I also learned not to wear vibrant red or pink because were I'm from that's either for the bride to wear or would take focus from the bride. Also, it helps to call the couple holding the wedding and ask about possible dress codes if it's not included in the invitation. My eldest sister actually made someone leave because they came in a red dress when it was said not to. It's their special day and you should always remember that.
I think it’s so beautiful to have a black and white wedding where guests wear white (it’s a personal opinion), I’m always confused with these videos because people usually requests/suggest what guests wear and if people get confused you can ask, it isn’t a crime to not know what’s appropriate as everyone has different tastes. Saying “hey, is this appropriate for your wedding?” seems way more logical then just guessing and going of a random persons idea, especially if it’s a wedding from a culture you’re not familiar with.
Also, I’ve seen loads of wedding photos of men wearing very similar suits to the groom and no-one bats an eye but if a single woman wears white it’s deemed disrespectful (I can see why, don’t misunderstand me) just always been a bit odd in my mind
Myself and my partner went to his ex wife's wedding and her husband's daughter wore a skin tight catsuit and had hair extensions fitted. The wedding was very memorable 😂
Man, when I was growing up and even at my wedding... floor length maxi dresses and skirts were everywhere. And they definitely didn't overshadow anything, because they are that classic casual look. Just maybe not the iconic black and white chevron haha. But the straight skirt (NOT the tight) with knit fabric in no one way screams "Look at me!"
Lol I'm probably gonna wear a light blue or light pink wedding dress, because in my opinion, white looks bad on me, but any shade of blue and pink look just fine.
I went to a wedding where the grooms sister wore a full Gucci track suit (i think but it was a two piece), a gucci bag, black hat and black tennis shoes, the most odd dressed person there and it wasn't super formal looking
Also try to find out what color/style the bridesmaids are wearing... i'm scarred for life because I looked exactly like the bridesmaids. Biggest freak accident of my life lol.
Don't wear black to a wedding in Britain unless specified by couple. It signifies you're not happy for the couple. Red signifies too that you desire the groom
honestly, just ask the couple. they're the only one's to really know what's appropriate or not to a wedding. like personally as long as you're dressed up and not wearing white idc
Off topic but when I planned my graduation party I chose a Star Wars theme. I put on my invites “ Sunday best or Star Wars costumes. “ so many people showed up to my party in costume.
try to have a color palette for at least the family members. photos will be STUNNING!!! we all wore navy, violet or a deep blush color and the colors complimented each other sooooo well!!! my mom had an orange flower arrangement that was the perfect pop of color. the pictures are just amazing. if you are just a friend it might not be necessary, but if you guys can and care about the pictures, try to implement a color palette 😊 and black is a no no in my country.
I'm not really an expert or anything, but I work at a place that does weddings and I can safely say that this isn't really that good of a guide. I've heard a lot of talk about black being a super rude thing to wear to a wedding because that's associated with mourning clothes, so maybe don't wear a black dress? I get the thing with the skirt length, most wedding receptions will have a dance and wearing something too long or too short is a bit of a hinderence, but the thing with "matching colors to the season" only works with ambiguous themes, check with the bride or the wedding planner if you can't decide on a color pallette. Another thing to keep in mind is not to wear anything too flashy that draws too much attention to you, the guest. This day is celebrating the bride and groom, walking up to the chapel doors wearing haute coture without permission from the bride is a great way to get yourself disowned.
This all depends on the country. In my country everyone is supposed to wear white as the theme but you don't have to if you don't want to. It's basically open ended bit better if you all wear light or monocromatic colors
When it doubt, just ask the bride or someone else in the wedding (like a bridesmaid) if the color you’re planning is okay! More often than not they’ll appreciate that you care about making their day go smoothly and you’ll avoid any bad confrontations if you pick the wrong thing
Wish I knew this at 14… lol I wore a short red lace long sleeve dress.. & black pumps… it was my bfs brothers wedding .. I sat the whole time because I felt embarrassed

Honestly, I don't think most weddings are this strict. And in the end, it depends on the wedding. I wore a long black dress (with little flowers tho) and monster heels to a friends wedding. Did anyone care? Absolutely not. Her sister wore a black, revealing dress. Did anyone care? No. All eyes were on her, because that's how weddings usually work. Or maybe the US handles weddings way more serious than my culture
@@Moonlight_Shad0w I have to assume it's a bigger deal here in America. Obviously most people are pretty chill, but way too many people turn into selfish monsters. It's crazy!
Sorry to say but your choices are what make weddings look cheap or disjointed. Black is not a good choice unless is the theme as many here say and in my Mexican culture long dresses is what’s appropriate. A wedding is one of the most important milestone in a person’s life, it’s a special day so guest need to wear a special attaire
I'm having a vampire royalty themed goth wedding because me and my partner are both goth.
The colors for our wedding we've already decided we'll be red, black, and gold.
I'm just decided to tell everybody to wear something formal so they all look nice, and just wear black. They can wear dark makeup or natural makeup if they want to, they can wear jewelry, and as long as they're wearing something formal and not like a ripped up t-shirt and muddy jeans or boots, then it's fine.
Besides, black is a flattering color no matter what kind of style you wear. Whether it's goth, any type of suit or dress or jumpsuit, just black is so flattering and it goes with everything. And they compare it with any color they want if they want to.
If they want to wear just pure black and natural makeup and go for a clean girl look, I said go for it. They want to get gossed up in a different style, let them. As long as they're wearing something formal and black. As long as they're wearing something nice and flattering, and it's black, I don't care about the rest.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's appropriate and black, I don't care if the men come and kills, or the women come and jumpsuits or pantsuits. I don't care who's wearing a dress and heels, I don't care who's winning the suit, they can do what they please.
I absolutely love this. Favorite comment. This is similar to what I have in mind.
@@violetkalico me and my partner are not engaged, but this was basically one of our agreements. Like we had a few agreements about only a few rules like no kids and no alcohol because my family gets rowdy when they're drunk and his brother is a recovering alcoholic.
Also, no kids because kids make messes and our families are kind of dramatic enough that we don't need kids adding on to the stress.
And basically everybody just wear black but wear something you would wear to a formal event like something nice. As long as no one shows up in muddy boots or ripped jeans or old NASCAR T-shirts from 1979, then we're fine with it. Fortunately, I have someone who is a very chill person.
my biggest flex is i went to a really long wedding in 5-inch heels, and did a cartwheel, and never took them off
Don't wear red because in some places that means you slept with the groom. Black is sort of a funeral color so maybe not. Anything too flashy may distract from the bride. Basically dress like you are going to church or Sunday brunch. And, this is the most important part, ALWAYS follow the dress code that the bride(s) and/or groom(s) have laid out for the guests. If their dress code contradicts the first few rules, then respectfully do what they say. This is their day and you should do your part to make it as magical as possible and keep all the attention on the couple.
The wearing red thing is just an internet rumor and frankly if anyone did actually believe that, i would judge them for it not the person who wears red. To be fair, i do think red is a little too flashy for a wedding
That's silly. Red is a great colour for a wedding.
So what I am getting is not to go to a ridiculous wedding like this? Y'all just follow these traditions just to follow a tradition. And they suck. Seriously? Red for sleeping with the groom? SERIOUSLY?!
More people need to see this…some people will actually “try” to compete with bride. Tip-if you feel you have to compete with the bride, then don’t go to the wedding…remember karma.
Nobody is trying to compete with the bride. Stop acting like women are all out there to stab eachother in the back. It’s weird and just not reality
@@eeveum yeah, right? How does someone outshine the bride, when every single guest knows her and all attention will be on her...
@@Moonlight_Shad0w by embarrassing themselves and wearing too tight clothes, a super cleveage... You know... It does happen from time to time but the only result is being discretely disapproved by the rest of the guests
You can wear white if it's approved by the hosts, e.g. it might be a wedding with 2 grooms and they are fine with white dresses.
Just remember this is only for specific weddings, for example in my culture the bride doesn't wear white 99% of the time because it's seen as "plain" here, they wear colourful dresses with different patterns so anything that is not too explicit is ok...and black is NEVER worn on any "good" or "special" days cause it is a "bad" colour or luck
Cool maybe do a video on “appropriate” wedding attire 😊
In Germany, red is also not the best choice if it's a traditional wedding / people with traditional believes are invited. There's this saying that if a lady wears red to a wedding, she had an affair with the groom.
I went to a wedding where it was the complete opposite, the bride wore an all black dress, so no one was allowed to wear black, so instead, she had all the guests wear white, it was really cool. It usually depends on what the bride wants, yes, white is normally what brides would go with, but it’s usually best to check with the bride.
I always think Black is really for funerals, not weddings. Black does not celebrate the occasion properly, but you look good in everything!
Why not? Black is very classy!
@@kailee_c It is tradition. Black for funerals, but not weddings. That's just the way it is.
@@Surferess not everywhere tho! White is the color of funeral in our country
That's your opinion. I, however, would always choose black over white because it is more sober, elegant and timeless.
@@Surferess For you. In other cultures people wear white to mourn the deads, or even bright colourful clothing.
Wearing black to a wedding is inappropriate in my opinion, I know others might disagree but personally I think when in doubt you should check because I've met just as many people who think it's inappropriate as people who think it is appropriate to wear to weddings.
but also, if the bride is wearing a color other than white, don't wear that either.
Actually wearing black to a wedding is also inappropriate, because it is the colour of grief. In our country red shouldn't be worn either because it is the colour that the bride changes into for the dance around midnight where they "sell" the bride for a couple of dances to the guests who can give money to the couple in exchange. ( I live in Hungary it is a tradition here. Weddings turn into a huge party after the ceremony and the dinner, that lasts till the morning :D )
At my partner and I‘s wedding, we’ve specifically said we don’t give a fuck. Just show up well groomed, in nicer clothes than normal (that are a little less revealing than a classic frat party outfit), ready to celebrate. I promise that absolutely none of our guests will forget who’s getting married. And since we don’t play those weird ass “which color jelly-bracelet means you’re horny and which one means you’re crushing on someone”, luckily we won’t be assessing our loved ones for ulterior motives. So there’s very little riding on the colors our loved ones wear since thankfully, our relationship is stronger than a cousin in a cream top.
In my country, the wedding outfits are smth else. MAN THEY ARE MESMERISING
(Pakistan)
I grew up in California and the only rule I was taught was don’t wear white. Of course I usually went with floral prints but have never been to a really fancy wedding.
No one wears a little black dress to a wedding!! Ever!!!
this is like saying you're conservative without saying you're conservative
My aunt did at my uncle's wedding (when I say aunt I mean my uncles sister, not the woman he was marrying). Unless wearing black at a wedding is a fashion faux pas in your country like some people are saying in the comments, you should be able to wear what you want at a wedding as long as it's within the realm of reason and you're not taking attention away from the bride a groom cause its meant to be their day. That's just my opinion though.
Instad a beautifull navy blue with lighter blue accessoires or dark green with light green accessoires or a contrast color (Instad of black)
I wore a black knee length dress to my best friends wedding. It was a Catholic wedding too. I received permission & no one cared.
@@annaw27 You needed to ask permission? Alarm bells ringing.
My wedding dress is gonna be black so wear black if you want. Wear white. Go off. I don’t care as long as you’re dressed for the occasion.
Edit: the amount of people who were offended (Americans) when people wore black to their wedding is amazing lol. I’m sure your day couldn’t have been that ruined.
Talk to the bride or her friends ahead of time to get a sense of what to wear (or not to). I once wore a floral tea-length dress to an afternoon garden party wedding in spring and was quite surprised to find everyone else wearing black. 🤷 I thought it was awfully formal for afternoon and somber for a wedding, but apparently that was what I should have gone with.
Just to be safe don't wear white, black, or red to the wedding. Those are reserved for funerals or the bride depending on culture. That leaves plenty of other colors!
Thankfully non of this applies to South Asian weddings
Red is what most brides wear wher i live
Lol in my country the bride's sisters and the groom's sisters all wear their own wedding dresses also there's no restricted colour and everyone dresses up like there's no tomorrow
So i got married 1976 & my husbands-brothers-wife wore a solid white jumpsuit(pant). It had lining but it got warm at reception so she took liner off. So now shes a shapely blonde wearing a see-through white outfit. Seriously
That black midi dress is so nice
I'd add - find out what the wedding colours are and avoid those. You don't want to look potentially like a bridesmaid when you aren't one.
Hahaha! I always want to match the wedding to not clash in pictures and to honor their color scheme. That's what I asked our guest to do too!
Finally!!!! Congratulations for having common sense and good taste!
Fun story: My mom and I had gone dress shopping and I had gotten this really nice lilac colored dress. Well, turns out that that was the color of the bridesmaids dresses. My cousins were all like “Hey, were matching!!”
Literally the schools dress code-
While in India you can dress as heavy and extravagant as the bride and nobody would have any problem
Someone wore a short romper to my formal wedding and ruined the group reception photo by standing next to us posing with her guy with her leg in the air …Now I’m happily divorced and she’s now married to that groomsmen …so who cares but still, tactless lol
HUH
Guys, wearing a black dress to a wedding is also pretty rude. When everyone does this it looks like a funeral. Just because it's the easiest thing to do for you doesn't make it an appropriate choice! 🙈
It was appropriate for my best friend’s Catholic wedding 🤷🏻♀️
Reading comments, I had forgotten about a few things to not wear as a guest…very helpful as I will be attending one in a month 😯 wow that time is gonna fly
I'm probably not going to a wedding any time soon, but thanks for the tips!
I'm goth and even I know to not wear black to a wedding unless I was specifically allowed to xD My brother for example didnt care so I could wear black but my ex boyfriends stepmother asked me to not wear black, which is fine, I get that people dont necessarily want someone wearing black at their wedding.
This is good base line. Also I think if the bridal / groom's party care that much they should put that on the invitation. I'm gonna do that if I get maried.
These are really good tips! Thank you!🤍
These are good tips if you are doubtful.
I would add that a navy blue midi dress is probably something you can never go wrong irrespective of the season of time of the wedding.
no white , no black, no red or purple in italy. You are welcome
Lol I would suffer through and even lose my feet but won't take the heels off mid-function.
An alternative to the little black dress is a navy dress. I just got a midi length 3/4 sleeve lace navy dress for a wedding my husband and I will be attending next week.
I was always told to never wear black to a wedding. I'm goth so I pretty much only have black dresses. When I tell you I was freaking tf out about what to wear for my brother's wedding bc I didn't want to bring bad luck to them by wearing a bla k dress
In Germany it’s the only place where I can wear heel’s so I definitely use high one, as otherwise I will never have possibility to wear them😅
I feel like Navy is honestly the safest color. It's basically the LBD without being too funeral-esque
I like that more and more people are aware of the white color thing
Ty I have a wedding coming up . This helped alot.
I went to my cousin’s wedding and was her flower girl and just so happened to pick out a dress that was the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses without knowing what colour their dresses were going to be. It was perfect and my cousin loved it since I fitted in perfectly with her bridesmaids.
your colorful dresses are so pretty i just wish i had the tan ness to pull them off 😭😭😭
Excellent advice❗😌👍
That's good advice all round. not just for weddings.
subscribed.
In our culture u can wear anything. BRIDE is BRIDE no one will take the show away from her
EXACTLY!
I also learned not to wear vibrant red or pink because were I'm from that's either for the bride to wear or would take focus from the bride. Also, it helps to call the couple holding the wedding and ask about possible dress codes if it's not included in the invitation. My eldest sister actually made someone leave because they came in a red dress when it was said not to. It's their special day and you should always remember that.
I think it’s so beautiful to have a black and white wedding where guests wear white (it’s a personal opinion), I’m always confused with these videos because people usually requests/suggest what guests wear and if people get confused you can ask, it isn’t a crime to not know what’s appropriate as everyone has different tastes. Saying “hey, is this appropriate for your wedding?” seems way more logical then just guessing and going of a random persons idea, especially if it’s a wedding from a culture you’re not familiar with.
Also, I’ve seen loads of wedding photos of men wearing very similar suits to the groom and no-one bats an eye but if a single woman wears white it’s deemed disrespectful (I can see why, don’t misunderstand me) just always been a bit odd in my mind
Thanks! I have 3 weddings to attend next year
All of ur dresses are too cute! Where’d you get them??? 😭😭
Myself and my partner went to his ex wife's wedding and her husband's daughter wore a skin tight catsuit and had hair extensions fitted.
The wedding was very memorable 😂
Man, when I was growing up and even at my wedding... floor length maxi dresses and skirts were everywhere. And they definitely didn't overshadow anything, because they are that classic casual look. Just maybe not the iconic black and white chevron haha. But the straight skirt (NOT the tight) with knit fabric in no one way screams "Look at me!"
Lol I'm probably gonna wear a light blue or light pink wedding dress, because in my opinion, white looks bad on me, but any shade of blue and pink look just fine.
Meanwhile in India : 😂😂😂
I have never gotten married, but I have to admit I was very annoyed when one of my guests showed up in a white dress to my quinceañera.
I went to a wedding where the grooms sister wore a full Gucci track suit (i think but it was a two piece), a gucci bag, black hat and black tennis shoes, the most odd dressed person there and it wasn't super formal looking
Also try to find out what color/style the bridesmaids are wearing... i'm scarred for life because I looked exactly like the bridesmaids. Biggest freak accident of my life lol.
The dress I’m wearing to my cousins wedding makes me look like I’m going to a prom in the 2000s💀🖐🏼
Don't wear black to a wedding in Britain unless specified by couple. It signifies you're not happy for the couple. Red signifies too that you desire the groom
honestly, just ask the couple. they're the only one's to really know what's appropriate or not to a wedding. like personally as long as you're dressed up and not wearing white idc
Black in the uk 🇬🇧 is not a good idea , unless specified !
At my mom's wedding, she wore a black dress with beautiful stars all over it.
IDK why I'm commenting this lol
Off topic but when I planned my graduation party I chose a Star Wars theme. I put on my invites “ Sunday best or Star Wars costumes. “ so many people showed up to my party in costume.
Ask the bride and groom if there are specific colours they do not want you to wear too
so you can wear black to a wedding? im going to my uncles wedding in april next year which would be summer to autumn andddd i need help with my outfit
try to have a color palette for at least the family members. photos will be STUNNING!!! we all wore navy, violet or a deep blush color and the colors complimented each other sooooo well!!! my mom had an orange flower arrangement that was the perfect pop of color. the pictures are just amazing. if you are just a friend it might not be necessary, but if you guys can and care about the pictures, try to implement a color palette 😊
and black is a no no in my country.
I'm not really an expert or anything, but I work at a place that does weddings and I can safely say that this isn't really that good of a guide. I've heard a lot of talk about black being a super rude thing to wear to a wedding because that's associated with mourning clothes, so maybe don't wear a black dress?
I get the thing with the skirt length, most wedding receptions will have a dance and wearing something too long or too short is a bit of a hinderence, but the thing with "matching colors to the season" only works with ambiguous themes, check with the bride or the wedding planner if you can't decide on a color pallette.
Another thing to keep in mind is not to wear anything too flashy that draws too much attention to you, the guest. This day is celebrating the bride and groom, walking up to the chapel doors wearing haute coture without permission from the bride is a great way to get yourself disowned.
This all depends on the country. In my country everyone is supposed to wear white as the theme but you don't have to if you don't want to. It's basically open ended bit better if you all wear light or monocromatic colors
When it doubt, just ask the bride or someone else in the wedding (like a bridesmaid) if the color you’re planning is okay! More often than not they’ll appreciate that you care about making their day go smoothly and you’ll avoid any bad confrontations if you pick the wrong thing
Wish I knew this at 14… lol I wore a short red lace long sleeve dress.. & black pumps… it was my bfs brothers wedding .. I sat the whole time because I felt embarrassed
