These.

Or are they too... Unweddingy?

Too casual. IMO

And this is from someone who doesn't like dressing up.

dexter73 · 13/06/2015 18:13

Depends on the type of wedding really.

ElphabaGreen · 13/06/2015 18:14

Depends what's ours thinking of wearing them with really.

Heels99 · 13/06/2015 18:15

Yes with a smart jacket shoes and accessories.

DontKillMyVibe · 13/06/2015 18:22

Lovely trousers but are like something I would wear to work rather than a wedding to be honest.

blueBooby · 13/06/2015 18:26

Hmm OK. Thanks everyone, I'm going to keep looking. I was thinking of wearing them with a smart top of some description (which I realise is a very vague non-descript description).

Yes, with smart navy jacket and accessories.

I think they're lovely.

Oly4 · 13/06/2015 19:14

Nope, too casual. But I woudn't wer trousers to a wedding personally

blueBooby · 13/06/2015 21:56

Normally I wouldn't wear trousers either but I was thinking about it and I prefer to wear trousers in general so decided I'd do it this time. Now I'm realising it's quite hard to find a suitable trouser wedding outfit!

Funny, I've just been thinking about trousers to weddings since I saw this pic of Emily Blunt and now want to be her

Imo she looks great and I would totally wear somethinf like that to a wedding. It's all about the overall look, not the individual pieces I think.

DownWithThisTypeOfThing · 13/06/2015 22:08

I think with a bright bag/heels they could work very well.

ouryve · 13/06/2015 22:13

Nope. Another person who wears jeans for everyday smart, but wouldn't wear these for a wedding as they're not quite right. They're just too relaxed, even if you dressed them up with a nice jacket.

Better link, btw - the mobile one is all pixels on a desktop

Emily Blunt's outfit there is lovely. When I've been googling for ideas I've seen what Amal Alamuddin / Clooney wore to her wedding and I love that too. It's a trouser suit (and yes I'm very behind the times).

Yes with the right top and some fab heels.

EmmaWoodlouse · 13/06/2015 22:36

I think you could, with heels and maybe a smart but slightly quirky jacket.

Magicalmrmistofeles · 13/06/2015 22:51

Too casual I think

Cocolepew · 13/06/2015 23:09

Yes, they are lovely.

Cancookdontcook · 13/06/2015 23:11

Far too casual and non-descript.

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 13/06/2015 23:14

Where is the wedding?

burnishedsilver · 13/06/2015 23:34

I think if you style them right you could make it work.

burnishedsilver · 13/06/2015 23:46

High heels and a tailored jacket could give you this dort of silhouette...

Another option would be to look for more of a statement top.

I really like that first pic tarnished. The wedding is in France but just outside Monaco I believe.

Going to depend on the wedding and setting and what the other guests are wearing, but I think - without knowing the answers to those - that they are too casual.
If in doubt, it's always better to head for the 'smarter' end of what you are thinking than the casual end.
