Colours clashing at wedding

[onlyconnect]

Does this sound awful for a winter wedding ?
Bottle green dress
Burnt orange shoes
Purple coat (think I’ll be able to take this off early on and not put it back on till I leave)
Nude tights
Gold sequinned clutch bag

Hard to say without seeing the actual colours but I thought I'd reply as I saw your plea on your other thread!

I think if the shoes are the brown/tan side of orange, they're probably fine. It's more bright orange and bright green which can look a bit costumey.

As for the coat, you'll be taking that off fairly quickly so I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

I think wedding guest outfits can be so stressful but I'm sure your outfit is, at worst, absolutely fine and at best, gorgeous - definitely not awful!

I would need to see it.

From your description, it does sound a tad Su Pollard.

Sounds like a kids entertainer! Actually apart from the bag, I'd wear that (I even have an orange hat to match).

As there will only ever be 2 colours on show at any one time I don't see how that could be a problem. Lots of people wear outfits with contrasting colour shoes. And the bag will be fine - I don't do the whole matching handbag thing and who apart from Duchess of Cambridge has a handbag to match every outfit anyway?

I think it sounds nice!

Horrible.

First reaction, it doesn't sound great, sorry.
Maybe add a photo or links to the actual items. It might look better than it sounds. The coat is the biggest stumbling block. Perhaps you could borrow one for the day.

Lovely, very autumnal 🍁. You only need to think about whether the shoes go with the dress and the coat, not all 3 items together because you won't be able to see your dress when you're wearing the coat. If that makes sense?

I might add some photos later but thank you everyone for your replies. I have a friend coming to check it out later so hope that’ll help me too.

I will just add, because it’s very relevant, that each item in itself is quite classic not garish or flouncy at all. That’s why I hope it’s actually quite nice and not Su Pollard or children’s entertainer. But I’m asking because I’m not sure so fair comments, thank you.

I do have some more neutral shoes which I’ll probably go for then I can send the orange ones back which is a good thing given that I did order the All Saints jacket (see other thread)

Too many colours.

Can you get some gold shoes? Because gold and green is lush. I’m thinking of that for my own wedding colour scheme!

Sounds good. Like to see the pics

I think depends on whether the shades all work together. If they do (and assuming they suit you) it could look really great. If they don't, the outfit could end up wearing you. I particularly like a dark green and purple combo - suffragette colours.

But if they do all work together, I wouldn't swop anything for a neutral. Hold your nerve!

I'm going to wear more neutral shoes. The purple and green do work together but I think I'll feel self conscious with the orange as well.

Bottle green and burnt orange should go together and I think the outfit sounds fantastic. I saw someone wearing a teal green with burnt orange and it looked great. Lots of people are afraid of colour but I embrace it. Lots of posters on mumsnet have a very conservative view of what they think looks good. It is only their opinion as is mine but I share it for balance. I don't suit orange but if I did I would wear the outfit without a second thought.

Sounds like you're sorted then. Enjoy the wedding.

Can we see pics please?

Exactly the sort of thing I would wear, but I don't follow fashion, just my own preference!

I am imagining you looking really glorious in sumptuous velvet!

If you're already returned the shoes then please tell me to shut up but I think they sound great (especially if you're not keeping the All Saints jacket ).

I've had a look on a colour wheel (I'm not very good at visualising sometimes) and I think they'd all work really well together. We don't have to wear navy and grey all the time to look chic.
