October wedding guest outfit

Help! October wedding - do I have to wear autumnal colours? I've seen this dress which I love but it's sunglasses bright 😎 Also is it just too much for a wedding? You can't miss the yellow!

I think it is too bright, you’ll leap out in all the photos. My aunt wore bright orange to my wedding and she stuck out like a sore thumb

Brave.

InspirationWontCome · 22/08/2019 23:12

Thanks for your honesty, I think you're right. I'm just gutted because I love the dress 😭

Buy it and dye it

Rickytickytembo · 23/08/2019 05:07

I really like it!! What kind of wedding is it (location wise)?

PersonaNonGarter · 23/08/2019 05:34

You can definitely wear that! It’s great.

You might be a bit cold, though.

InspirationWontCome · 23/08/2019 06:10

Thanks everyone! I think I've decided not to wear it, I really don't want to be forever known as 'the girl who wore the bright yellow dress to a wedding 😂'

@Rickytickytembo Ceremony and reception is all in one location, a boutique hotel type thing.

I also liked this, more appropriate colour-wise:

I prefer the yellow dress but the flower one is nice too - bit more formal. I still think the yellow one is fine for a wedding at a boutique hotel. It's a wedding! Bright colours are fine!!

InspirationWontCome · 23/08/2019 06:50

@Rickytickytembo Thank you!! I'll take the weekend to mull it over. And think of another event I can wear the yellow one to if not the wedding!

That yellow dress is beautiful. If it makes any difference, I'm getting married in October (in a boutique type hotel - are you one of my guests? Grin) and it wouldn't bother me a jot if someone turned up in a bright yellow dress. As long as it's not white then you're good to go imo.

InspirationWontCome · 23/08/2019 20:11

@WeeLors Haha maybe 👀😁

Thank you, split opinions!

Definitely do the yellow. I would. If you're worried about the photos, you could always get a cropped jacket to go over the top as it's October. Something like this: (there are nicer ones out there, but also some very granny-like styles, something with angles looks sharper and more modern)

If you're going to be in all the family/bridal party type photos, then maybe not but I really can't see an issue if you are just a guest?! How many pics do you expect to be in?

Atalune · 24/08/2019 11:21

What would you wear over it? October will be chilly.

The floral one isn’t my taste at all and with the shoulder ties you would have trouble getting something to wear over it?

InspirationWontCome · 25/08/2019 07:58

Thanks all. It's all inside so I won't need a cover up and I don't need to worry about getting cold

I'm off to a boutique wedding in Oct... I absolutely love the yellow. Love love love it. The floral is gorgeous too but the yellow is gorgeous. Like previous posters said, tone it down with navy accessories, wee jacket for the service.
I'm torn between bright blue or burnt orange myself 😂

InspirationWontCome · 02/09/2019 09:14

@Rosere Thank you! I love bright blue, I'd go for that if I were you!

The yellow is lovely for a hotel indoors wedding, go for it!

InspirationWontCome · 02/09/2019 13:31

@Ineedtoknowit Thank you!!
