To wear champagne to a wedding?

[Goldiebear1]

Please can you help me -

I’ve found a champagne coloured dress and a wanting to wear it to a wedding with a black shrug, black handbag and black heels. Is it acceptable to wear the colour champagne? I don’t want to turn up and upset the bride - the dress is champagne and all accessories are black.

thank you ☺️

Should I wear a bridesmaid dress to a wedding when not a bridesmaid?
Is this your actual question? Really?

Literally the only code is don't wear a white or "champagne" dress or a wedding dress if you are not the bride. It is ok to literally wear any other colour or style.

I wouldn't wear anything from coast to a wedding. Unless I was a bridesmaid, of course.

Isn't it shop no. 1 for BM dresses?

Even if you don't upset the bride who might not give a shit, you would likely be heavily judged by others. I would think 'attention seeking or pissed off they weren't asked to be bridesmaid' and I bet others would too.

Just to clarify … I am a bridesmaid. We’ve been given a style and we can choose our own colour. There’s 6 bridesmaid and 6 colours of the dress. Any hair do - any make up! Bride doesn’t care - but we wanted to know what the etiquette is so I politely asked on here

Yes it really is my question… as I’m a bridesmaid

Ah, a pure goady post.

Classy.

I really would not wear that dress if I were a bridesmaid, unless the bride OK’ed it! Can’t you ask her?

Ask the bride. I doubt this is. Genuine post though too much of a drip feed

Only if the bride had you all in that colour. Pick another colour as it won't be worth the potential drama. Even if the bride doesn't care other guests might

Huge drip feed there OP.
The answer is yes , assuming the actual bride is happy .
You were going to wear a black cardigan as a bridesmaid?

That is a bridal gown at some weddings.

Well in a colour that close to white, with the other BMs all wearing different colours, I would definitely check with the bride.

If she says it's fine, then it is - but yes, you need to ask her.

If the bride’s cool with, fuck what the other guests think.

Nice drip feed @Goldiebear1. Obviously it’s fine for a bridesmaid, that’s literally what it’s designed for.

🥱

Some champagne coloured dresses would work, but not this one. It’s a bridesmaids dress!!

Talk about a massive drip feed.

Well it is a bridesmaids dress so not completely inappropriate now you’ve clarified that, but definitely check with the bride! Everyone pick your own colour doesn’t necessarily mean something bridal, which champagne sort of is, and unless you’ve seen her dress it could be similar for all you know as it doesn’t sound like she’s much of a stickler for tradition. So don’t ask here, ask her! As an aside though, I think black accessories would look absolutely awful with it- metallic shoes like gold would look good though.

Lovely dress. Why would you want to spoil it by wearing it with a shrug cardi of any colour. Wouldn't wear it to a wedding.

thank you - I’ve never asked on this group before and there’s clearly an etiquette … we just wanted to know if it was acceptable (as we know some brides wouldn’t like it) as the bride has given us the style and wants us to choose the colours ourselves. She’s really laid back. We’ve ended up asking and she said - no she wants one of us to wear that colour so we each have a different one. Case closed 🤣

It’s a winter wedding in a barn with a tipi so guessing it’ll be cold - so we’re all wearing black fluffy shrugs and the brides wearing a white matching one

Haha no!!

By any COLOUR I'm not sure the bride meant beige!

Normally I'd say yes for any colour at a wedding. But if it was a different colour/darker shade I'd say absolutely. I think it's slightly too bridal/bridesmaidy in the shade and style so it's a no from me.

It's universal! Basic etiquette.
