I’m going to a formal/black tie optional wedding in Monterrey, dress code says sophisticated dresses or pantsuits. I bought this dress, is it too formal? Also I need to get heels and possibly a wrap or layer. I’m not sure what color or style would look good. Any advice would be appreciated!

DC: Formal Is this green appropriate for black tie optional?

My husband and I are attending a black tie-optional wedding next month. He had this suit made for our own wedding last year that style-wise I think is appropriate, but I don’t know if the color is dark enough to be proper. I also know the bridesmaids are wearing green but I don’t know what color the groomsmen are wearing, though I would imagine they are wearing tuxedos if the dress code is black tie optional? What is the verdict, is this appropriate or do we need to go shopping for a suit in a darker (and different) color?

I have a wedding to go to this weekend and the attire request is cocktail. Is this dress cute? Or is it trashy? 😭 I’m 13 months PP from a C section so I’m wearing shape wear lol. I got it from ASOS and it is genuinely the tightest thing I have ever wore. I would be wearing it with white heels and my hair up.

Attending a wedding in Monterey, Ca the week after New years, the dress code is cocktail and the ceremony will be outside (not on the beach though). I’m planning on bringing a matching velvet wrap but I’d really rather keep my legs covered. Do you think this is too long/formal or would it be okay for winter cocktail?

DC: Semi Formal/Dressy Casual Sweater during meal

0 Upvotes

I might be overthinking this... I'm going to a semi-formal wedding, and I will be wearing a sleeveless dress with a pretty shawl. I was thinking about bringing a longline cardigan to wear during the meal in case I get cold, because it would be less fussy to deal with than a shawl. I have either a black one or a metallic gold thread-beige one, but neither are particularly dressy. Would this ruin the pictures? Should I just keep the shawl on?

DC: Semi Formal/Dressy Casual Clashing colors?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Wedding is 1st weekend in Nov. for a former colleague. Dress code is semi-formal. Wedding colors are gray and purple (dark like a grape per my buddy).

My questions are
A) Would a burgundy dress clash with the dark purple
B) Is this specific dress too “wedding dress-y”

I’m thinking of pairing it with gold jewelry/accessories, which would also be kind of a inside joke bc my buddy is a huge Commanders fan

Hi everyone! I’m attending my first wedding as a guest (only been to one and I was the maid of honor). The dress code is semi formal/cocktail for a November wedding. The ceremony is outside weather permitting so I’m concerned about getting cold. I had a dress picked then realized the ceremony could be outside so my option went out the window.

I like all of these dresses but I’m so paranoid about being under or over dressed. Any opinions would be super helpful! 😊

Or perhaps too old? 36f, outdoor wedding so I wanted something in case it’s cold. Plan to wear gold accessories. I also have another option just in case, but I don’t love the neckline. Thanks!

Edit: thank you all for the advice! The wedding is this weekend & I leave tomorrow so no time to get anything else. But it seems my other option makes more sense! Appreciate all of your comments.

I have a wedding coming up at the end of November in Milwaukee at the botanical gardens facilities. Dress code is black tie. I have recently lost about 50 pounds and need to buy a dress- preferably something with some arm coverage. Would either of these be appropriate?

DC: Barn/Beach/Garden Theme DC: Beach formal

Hi all! I posted here a few days ago asking if a dress was too white to wear as a wedding guest (white background with red floral). The consensus was yes, so I'm back to ask further opinions! One of the new options is also a red floral dress with white background, but the pattern takes up more space than the white background which is why I've included it for opinions... but if any white background is a no no it'll be scrapped from the options.

DC : Beach formal (not only a beach, at a golf club overlooking a beach), suggestions were fun sundresses for women and linen suits for men. No light blue.

I have a red shawl and a black shawl, that i will wear over the black floral dress and the rose one if these are picked (tied higher for modesty with the black one and to add more red to the rose one). Only showing it with the rose dress since the other dresses are now in the wash. The dark blue polka dot one is a bit less formal but due to the dc suggesting sundresses I think it'll still be a safe option

Any thoughts are appreciated!!

Had to repost since I put the incorrect images, and couldn't find a way to edit the images attached

DC: Formal is this western formal?

I was asked to be a plus one to a wedding within a week from the event. All I know about the dress code is they asked for western formal. I’m not someone who has a lot of western items in their closet so I went and did some last minute shopping today. Will this be appropriate? I also have a black suede hat I’ll be using.

If anyone can give some suggestions / feedback, I’d really appreciate it. The wedding is in two days!

DC: Formal Formal help!

I’m going to a wedding in about 2.5 weeks in Connecticut and still scrambling for a dress. DC is “formal but wear comfortable shoes”. The ceremony/cocktail hour is outdoors and the reception is in a heated tent. I don’t wear formal EVER so I don’t want to spend a ton on a dress I won’t wear again. I think this one fits but not positive. Could I dress it up with jewelry? If so, would silver be okay since I don’t own any gold? I’d be willing to buy some gold if that would make it a lot better. Also attached is a description of “formal” that was approved by the bride. I’m also shorter than the model so the dress does come down to the tops of my feet instead of above the ankle.

I’m not said mother of the bride, but she wanted my opinion of this dress. The wedding will be in Hawaii. I don’t realllly think it’s too white, and I truly don’t think the color choice is malevolent toward her daughter. Just wanted to see what the general sentiment was.

This would be perfect for a summer garden formal wedding guest, right? I don't know why I am second guessing and getting tripped up by the length, but formal doesn't have to be floor length, correct?
