Do you remember what your guests wore to your wedding.

[Undermyblanket]

I have been married for nearly 43 years.
At the weekend I was sorting out with my DD the photos that I have stored.
I got out my album and realised that 3 guests wore white.
It mustn't have been a problem as I couldn't remember.

Yeah, I remember some of them. What nice memories! My grandma in blue, lots of flowery dresses around, my husband wore a suit but no tie and he wore trainers. My mam in purple and a hat. One of my cousins who must have been about 15 wore a top hat and her mum rang me to check it was ok if she wore it. It was ok! She looked really cool. It was a great day

Not a clue

We only had our parents attending and I couldn't tell you what they wore without going back and looking at the pictures.

I remember what some guests wore, but I also remember what some people chose as their main course option too!
We got married 5 years ago and have no idea why I remember some of those things!

It was 27 years ago so not really. MIL wore a white suit and was very put out when I turned up in pink
My ex sil and friend both had the same skirt and jacket from Laura Ashley.
DHs sister was about 20 at the time and wore a pinafore with DMs and her hair in bunches with white ribbons in. Thats about all I remember apart from my mum who had a dark tartan skirt and matching dark plum coloured cord jacket on, I think that was Laura Ashley too.

I wear black to wedding all the time - i feel like apart from the obvious (wearing a white wedding gown to someone else’s wedding), it’s all just bs to police women’s clothes.

I only got married five years ago and can't remember what guests wore, I only remember what mil and DM wore because we have a whole family photo on a book shelf at home

I've been married 32 years and remember very little about our wedding apart from I enjoyed it. I do remember my Mum wore navy as I went shopping with her to get it, she nearly got stuck in it in the changing rooms and we both nearly killed ourselves laughing.
I also remember my best mans wife telling me she was mortified as she forgot her posh shoes and had to wear her driving shoes that she kept in the car. I never noticed at the time.
I have no idea if anyone wore white or red and honestly couldn't have cared less.

My MIL and SIL both wore head to toe black which really bothered me then. They did look very glam, but I wouldn't ever wear black to a wedding and still feel a bit about it. They'd even booked a personal shopping appointment to choose the dresses.

I can remember the wife of one of DH's friends was wearing a fleece and what could only be termed slacks. She looked like she had been walking the dog and was running late. I have no idea what was going on there. Some friends of mine had been going to change when they arrived but were late so heard the ceremony in jeans (and a hat) and then rushed off to change.

I don't remember anything anyone wore except my mother's absolutely enormous hat - it looms in my memory as wider than she was tall 🤣🤣

Though actually when I try to remember I think of the fact that BIL's plus one, a female platonic friend of his at the time who's name I can't even remember, had a really lovely trouser suit, as did one of my sisters.

I don't remember what anyone else wore except DH and I and my bridesmaid, I'd have to look at pictures. It was 20 years ago.

I've never been married.

I remember one of my sisters friends wore flip flops to her wedding and I was very judgy in my head.

He's a shoe designer now.

When my mum married my stepdad 18 years ago my cousin who was 10 at the time came dressed as a devil. A full Red Devil outfit complete with horns and a tail. I don't know why. It wasn't a Halloween wedding. It was however hilarious and she was placed in pretty much every wedding picture as a kind of 'where's Wally' type thing. 😅

Clothes.

Happily. 😁

I'd have to get the pictures out to remember what I wore (reg office and normal clothes not a wedding dress), I've got fuck all chance of remembering what guests wore.

I remember we all went to the pub and got smashed.

I don't remember much after that...

Black is a mean one to say people shouldn’t wear too. Loads of women prefer to wear black for reasons that are nothing to do with the happy couple. Obviously laying aside e.g. MIL wearing a mourning veil.

I’m Scottish, got married in Scotland and my English uncle wanted to wear a kilt. He wore it backwards, one of the ushers had to go get him into it property after the service.

My brothers girlfriend wore a dress that was too short and too small. She always wore tight fitting clothes and usually looked lovely but this was awful. Found out 3 weeks later she’d been trying to get out of coming to the wedding for weeks because she was planning on dumping him to run off the the bloke she was cheating on my brother with. She and that fucking hideous dress are in half my bloody pictures.

@MintyGreenDream Genuinely had to read that 3 times before realising your MIL wasn't dresses as A lamb 🤣

Yes, but only because there were less than 20 people there. Nothing out of the ordinary aside from my BIL breaking his ankle and wearing a fluffy sock over his ankle brace

MIL originally picked a dark dress which she didn't really like as she was worried I'd get offended if she wore a white dress with a bold pattern on it. My dress wasn't even white, so I didn't give two figs if someone else wore a white dress.

Black has been predominant colour at most weddings I attended since 1994. Black and red were the formal colours at uncle's wedding- bride wore classic white dress. It was evening wedding by religious fundamentalists. Lots of red roses. All my fashionista aunts kept saying how elegant the whole affair was.

Only guest outfit I clearly recall is my mother in an emeraldish trouser suit. It suited her fine.

One of DH's relatives was a fairly popular actress and turned up at our wedding in a very glamorous white dress. My mum heard one of the guests say loudly "Who does she think she is - the bloody bride??" Mum turned round hoping it wasn't one of her relatives, and saw to her relief that it was one of DH's many aunties!

All of this is reminding me of how Alexis wears an actual wedding dress to David's wedding in schitts creek. God I love that show

What's wrong with black? I went a wedding (evening - they got married as late as was allowed) and so many guests wore black I started to feel I'd missed a dress code on the invite! The bridesmaids (adult) wore black too.
Anyway, yes. My cousin's partner looked great in his kilt and another wore a pretty outfit with trousers - I didn't think anything of it but some other family members mentioned it.

I do, but that’s because we’ve got a photo with all the guests on pinned to the notice board in our kitchen (wasn’t a particularly big do). There’s a real variety, from jeans and leather jacket all the way up to proper mother of the bride type jobs with hats. Definitely some in white, red, black and all the other colours that are frowned upon, and they all look great

No, but no one wore anything out of the ordinary! 🤭

I do remember one wedding where a friend of the bride wore her wedding dress with the bride's ok (not remotely white or really wedding like at all) and it caused quite a stir!
