My cousin is getting married this weekend. It's not a religious wedding. There is no official dress code, but the bride said to my sister that we should wear anything that makes us feel gorgeous and we can dance in.
I am wearing a navy dress that I think is dressy without being the kind of thing that you would only wear to a wedding (I might wear it to a very nice restrurant or a grown-up party). My younger sister (19) is worried about what she should wear. I was going to lend her a dress of mine in a similar style to the one I'm wearing, but it's black. Is this inappropriate for a wedding that doesn't have a dress code, but isn't totally casual? The only other dresses I could lend her are really formal, and I would be worried she'd be overdressed.
Thanks in advance.
No and neither is the navy blue dress.
Formal, unformal and being casual, open dress code, no matter what...it is spring and spring colors should be worn.
Not winter colors or dark colors, and black is reserved for the little black evening dress out on the town, and FUNERALS!
(Rating: 4) Thanks for your thoughts. It was useful to hear a different opinion, but in the end we went with the navy and black as anything brighter was more casual, and it was definitely the right decesion based on what other people wore. But you are right: I wouldn't normally wear very dark colours to a wedding unless we were told there was no dress code. Thanks.
