Don't wear white unless you are the Bride. Dress up like you would go to church.

No one is ever overdressed at a wedding, a funeral or church service. It is a sign of respect for the person (or Person) you are honoring or memorializing.
Wear the nicest thing you have; generally all-black or all-white are off limits at a wedding (unless you're the bride).
If the wedding is in the afternoon you can wear something slightly more casual than for an evening wedding. For an evening wedding, cocktail attire (beads, sequins, etc.) If the wedding is 8PM you can assume it's formal (long dress) but these are rare.
Good luck. (And even if you don't have great clothes, you can always borrow great jewelry to dress up something plain.)

anything but WHITE is fine. Some people dress to the 9's for a wedding, others go kind of casual----best rule of thumb is----judge what to wear by where the reception is being held----if it's at a country club, dress like you are going to CHURCH..... if it's at a fancy restaurant, a nice skirt and blouse or dress OR even a dressy-pant suit will do. If the wedding reception is at your local neighborhood bar, just wear jeans and a nice blouse... oh and since it's AFTER Memorial Day, sandals are OK...

A ring is an emblem, it does now not outline. I not too long ago misplaced my marriage ceremony band - it slipped off even as we had been planting this beyond spring. I have worn that ring for virtually 24 years now. It is among the few fabric matters that had which means. I remind myself it is only a fabric 'factor' however I am unhappy it's long past. We do not need the cash on the second to interchange it, however we will be able to at a few factor. So, proper now I am married and now not dressed in a hoop (I by no means desired an engagement ring). I attempt to comic story approximately it - I inform my husband to hold his distance once we're out as I perhaps capable to select any person up - lol. Also, I understand couples who're allergic (I have a buddy who are not able to put on any steel) or whose jobs require they put on no jewellery. Sometimes there are well explanations persons don't put on a hoop whilst married. I most commonly might now not discover if any person was once now not dressed in a hoop. It does now not subject to me.

Nothing with flowery prints-- too old looking.
Nothing sexier than the bride-- for you will burn in hell if you do ;)
Nothing white-- also burning for that one!
Nothing shapeless-- you ARE the single one, right?
I would say, a dress, to the knees, with sexy shoes (hey, feet can be hot!) Get a pedicure, and find a nice top that you can have a "sweaterish" type top with it to use if it gets too cold (no nippies showing!) and if it's hot, you dont have to wear it. Blue, purple, red, dk. gray, or some black is ok to wear. I would avoid pastels since it might look like you are attending an easter convention of some sort!

well it does all depend on if its outside or inside!! weather is always a issue!! most likely just a nice pair of dress pants wich you can get at the mall and a silky shirt!! it will all look nice! and don't try to wear the same solors as the wedding cause then people will think you were trying to be part of the wedding!

Think about what you wear to church. Nothing too flashy, not too much skin, and not too tight. You will be sitting quietly during the ceremony (lasts from 10-45 minutes-usually) and then waiting (usually outside) for the bride & groom to pass.
In my family, we always eat & party until the B&G finally sneak away.

Wear a nice dress. Nothing hoochie. Nothing that shows cleavage. Nothing above the knee. Sundresses work nicely.

You are supposed to be smart, but not so that you upstage the bride. No floating white dresses. A smart straight dress and jacket would be great. Hats and gloves if they take your fancy.

it depends if the wedding is casual or not, but a nice dress usually works for both.
