Will I look like the 'other bride' if I wear this to a wedding?

[TheDevilWearsPantsuits]

I've got a bespoke suit that looks exactly like this i.pinimg.com/474x/11/b5/56/11b556c01631d69ac6ed1e14e43add1b--boy-meets-girl-androgynous-fashion.jpg in this exact colour i.pinimg.com/474x/3c/fd/aa/3cfdaa38bc0cdf8e1eaf895d7c15714f--ralph-lauren-collection.jpg. Was all set to wear it to a wedding (in Australia if it makes a difference) late next March, but am now having second thoughts because a friend of mine told me that I'd end up looking like the one marrying the bride!

Should I start panicking now?

Pink suit is a winner. Love it.

Leopard print clutch would give a bit more of a pop rather than the dusky blue. But that’s just a personal preference.

Well, I'm over 60 but make my own clothes and love a good bit of tailoring.

The problem with light grey is that it was very close to to the colour of morning suits. In my family, even the next generation - the grooms wear morning suits (not hired, their own) so a grey suit is just too wedding-y. bUt pink is fine!

Personally, I love tailored dresses and would never wear trousers as formal wear unless it were the full-on style of the 2nd photo in the 1st post which looks like really really stylish drag (Marlene Dietrich style) - but not for a wedding if you're not the groom.

Have a good time, OP !

The first one was much nicer than the pink and was perfectly fine.

thats awesome Tipsy

Well done Tipsy. It really doesn't look like a bridal outfit.

Love the pink suit! Go for that! 😊

I really like the grey suit. It’s elegant.

Loving Tipsy’s work, btw

You’ll look like an usher ...

She won't look like an usher. It's a lovely suit and with a brightly coloured camisole under the jacket and some jewellery it will look nothing like an usher's outfit.

what your OP required in the way of comprehension is beyond most people

Yawn.

I understood completely. I think it was the wrong choice. The pink suit is far better.

So far the people who think it was the wrong choice are old, thick and sexist. Plus "ultra conservative".

🙄

I was simply pointing out that despite understanding the OP perfectly, I still disagreed. I wasn't defending myself. Perhaps you couldn't understand that.

I understood the thread perfectly, thanks.

Don't understand why op looks for approval..

Go for it, I don't care so no comments from me. Your choice.

Classic example of a troll IMV of course!

I Will be heckled soon no doubt, but am true to myself. Oh and weddings are about the B and G no one cares about anyone else really.

Read this thread for, y’know, the fun of it.
While I hate to be dragged into the awful ageist crapola that Mumsnet has a fondness for, it makes me cross to the point of not enjoying my Christmas chocolates.
Not that it matters, but I would bet that most posters saying the grey suit is ok are OVER 50. By and large, ‘younger folk’ are far more rule-bound - one of the advantages of ageing is that we give very few shiny shits for rules. Or much else.
OP you sound very stylish. Pink or grey will be lovely tho I think I prefer the pink. I wore a similar suit to a wedding and met my husband. All those years ago

You've got s bespoke suit op? How thrilling, I'm so jealous. Of course you should wear it - unless it comes with a veil and train.

I'm always when I hear young colleagues discussing their wedding plans. They were far more free and easy 30 or 40 years ago - at least in my experience.

I've already got the pink one, so won't have to buy a new one, no worries. The reason I didn't gravitate to that in the first place was because it's something I can wear day-to-day, whereas the double-breasted grey one is a bit 'too much' for daily wear IYSWIM.

TipsyMalone Love your Microsoft Paint masterpiece!

Some posters made it very clear through their rather odd questions that they hadn’t understood the OP. Many other posters just misunderstood it which was apparent from their comments. This has been a very frustrating thread to read!

I am under 50 and like the grey suit, if that helps anyone’s pie chart?

Plain open neck shirt without the waistcoat, I really cant see the problem. It's when it's made ultra smart and upstyled it looks wedding ish.
You could also wear a coloured top underneath which would also completely change the look, maybe even coloured shoes.
As far as I can see the outfit has a lot of options.
Wearing the jacket open or closed makes a big difference too
Do you have pictures of what youd wear it with?
I cant see a problem with it. If you feel really comfortable and style it right it's great. I see this kind of thing at central london weddings all the time.
