Finally there's a wedding in the calender and I've released that I have no idea how a wedding will look in 2022.
So your observations and opinions please.
I'm in danger of panic buying and ending up looking like the mother of the bride from 'Four Weddings & a Funeral' heavily channeling the 1990s. (I'm 50, normally a bit scruffy Cos)

I also have two teen girls to channel in the 'right' direction, what does everyone wear these days?

And a husband? Do men wear formal suits, ties? He's the brother of the groom but not best man.

Oh I still happily wear a pashmina Grin. I just hope no Mumsnetters are at the same weddings as me. Most people at the last wedding ai went to were wearing fascinators though, so probably not.

Fascinators were such a liberation from the 1980s hat from your local department store.
My mum 75 has multiple sets of shoes & bag in the same material and colour along with the matching hats. There's a lot of vintage Jacques Vert waiting for it's brief, special occasion, moment in the sunshine. It will be in apricot, a pastel green and a sort of weird pale grey - she would have been my age now when she bought that lot.

@AnImaginaryCat

I think there's an anti-headgear campaign group on MN that WhatsApp each other when there's a "what to wear to a wedding" thread on MN.

They all the claim "no fascinators" in some for or other. Been reading that for at least the last 10 or 15 years.

The campaign isn't working mind you, not been to a wedding in all that time where there's been none or even a just a few.

I think you could be right
