Wedding Inspo
We have nine weddings this year. Crazy! I guess we’re at that age or something. When you are unsure of what to wear people usually gravitate towards black. It’s simple, it’s safe, it’s classy. I went with black, because it was a night wedding an
d I had purchased a suit jacket for Josh that I wanted him to wear. (He is pictured below.) Also, I can wear black over and over again. I am all about getting a dress that you can wear multiple times!
How about a jumpsuit for a wedding? If it’s a black tie event DO NOT DO IT! I have, I can’t remember the exact number, but, like 4 weddings in one weekend in September! One is a yard wedding. I figured a jumpsuit would be superb! Pictured below is the Navy jumpsuit I will be wearing. It’s light, it’s simple, and Josh looks fabulous in navy. It will take little effort to match me.
I can’t escape the season without some sort of color. Weddings are a celebration aren’t they? I purchased both of these dresses last year for two separate weddings. Being the wedding planner for 2 weddings; I thought “why not get another wear out of both!” These are super simple to run around in and I can look classy while doing it!
I figured I would throw in some practical wedding etiquette from moi:
DO NOT EVER wear white! It is so rude to the bride. Cream counts too! Unless you are the bridesmaid, and the bride chose cream as the color for you to wear, then you have no excuse! It is inconsiderate and, in my opinion, you should be asked to leave the wedding!
Try and steer clear of flip-flops. It is not the end of the world, but it’s not classy either. Opt for a gladiator type sandal.
Jeans -are they or are they not allowed? I would never let my husband wear jeans to a wedding. Barn weddings are becoming very popular around my area. My opinion is, if the jeans are dark enough, and you add a suit jacket, fine. Now, if the wedding invitation says you can wear jeans, then you are free to do as you will. Never, ever, wear them to a black tie event!
Red – there is an ongoing myth that red means you slept with the groom. Eeek! I’m not sure how many in my generation and younger know about that myth/rule. It does make me giggle if I see a guest in red. However, I don’t think it’s a rule that MUST be lived by. But just for the record, I wouldn’t wear red to a wedding. (Ever again!)
