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.

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?

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?

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! 😊

Bridal Party Appropriate or too low-cut for a bridesmaid?

My sister is the bride and she likes the dress but wanted to see what other people think, particularly other those of other ages and generations.

Wedding is in April, dress code will most likely be semi-formal to cocktail. I love the details and the fit. I do wish it was a little less low cut.

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!

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?

Hi all, I have my first “black tie” wedding in May, is this dress appropriate? Worried that it looks like a 2 piece

I’m also confused as it starts at 3pm and there is no wedding breakfast. It’s a “twilight wedding” so it’s just pizzas at the night do, feels strange to have it as a black tie occasion… but thats just me picking!

I appreciate the colour doesn’t scream summer but I’m struggling to find anything I like.

Thanks!

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.

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?

Would really appreciate some help choosing between these options! I haven't been to a black-tie wedding in quite a while, and honestly, I haven't attended many weddings in the US (I'm originally from another country), so I'm a little unsure about the dress code and what's considered appropriate.

The wedding website says the dress code is formal evening attire, meaning suits or tuxes for men and formal dresses or gowns for women and "we can't wait to see everyone dressed to the nines as we celebrate!"

Would you interpret this as black tie, black-tie optional or just formal? And with that in mind, which of these dresses would you pick?

Would love some opinions! Thank you 🤗

First 3 are from Reformation and the last one is Lulu's!

DC: Formal Does this work for a formal wedding?

I’m going to a wedding at a cider house in New Hampshire this Saturday and the dress code is formal. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding a dress that works because I recently gained a lot of weight and my body is not what I’m comfortable with normally (size 12/14). I’m 5’4”so this is a bit longer on me than on the model.

I got it in green velvet and navy crêpe. It’s been hard for me to decide, but I’m leaning towards the green velvet only because it’s more forgiving for lumps and bumps.

I plan on pairing it with gold strappy sandals, a gold clutch, and a black faux fur cropped jacket. I also have some crystal earrings/tennis bracelet, and I want to try to do my hair down and curly in a sort of side swept style to the side with the bare shoulder.

PLEASE HELP!! I don't attend super fancy weddings very often, and am struggling with black tie event attire. The bride specifically requested bright summery colors. Technically she described the dress code as "colorful black tie." As i have discussed with her, she said she is okay with a slit, and cares more about it being a fun and unique dress that is floor length.

Is this dress appropriate? I'm pretty short so it will definitely be floor length on me based on the measurements of the dress. Thanks in advance!!

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

edited to add: Just to clarify, the coral outfit was never intended for the Orthodox wedding. I have a lot of respect for all faiths and their dress codes, and I apologise if my original post gave a different impression. also, a few of you mentioned the detail (nipples) on the top. It does look that way in the photo, but it’s actually just an unusual crease or bump in the fabric, which I hadn’t even noticed until it was pointed out

Orthodox Jewish wedding -no dress code - but has to be modest. (Never been to one, so very excited)

Spring outdoor wedding. Dress code optional-spring /garden. (Doesnt have to be modest)

Currently Spring in Australia

I don't know what's in style anymore and only live in black. Help me pick for each wedding. I'm happy to repeat an outfit if only one here is a favourite (two very different social circles), or do I go back to the drawing board?

Image 1&2.

The coral may be too much and costume like? (Cami only worn for this picture but can find something to make it more modest)

Image 3&4.

Lilac/ Purple is actually lovely, but I'm not sure if it screams, grandma (I don't think that's a bad thing, lol)

Image 5&6.

The green is an absolute no as much as I wanted to wear it, never tried on a more ill-fitting dress and a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

Image 7&8

Red/ burgundy, I dont have opinions except that I need shapewear 😅

Image 9

Brown- I wore to a dinner recently and received compliments, but I'm not sure if it's too casual? (Will wear cami under as dress is kind of sheer)

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!!
