I'd totally go as Scarlett from Four weddings.

ChobKnees · 18/08/2022 21:29

I always attended special occasions in the 90's wearing my trusty ruffle cuff shirt and waistcoat.

Or I had a lovely matching purple chequered waistcoat and skirt outfit.

Can't take any credit though as my mum dressed me!

ChobKnees · 18/08/2022 21:29

That was the early 90's though. I think early 90's and late 90's we're different fashion trends.

elQuintoConyo · 18/08/2022 21:34

Edward Scissorhands or Hannibal Lector. Go all out.

gogohmm · 18/08/2022 21:37

Tea dress with doc Martens. I lived in them in the 90's. Alternatively leggings, lumberjack shirt and leggings

gogohmm · 18/08/2022 21:38

Shift dresses and long line jackets were in too

Oh that’s a good point! You really need to find out if they mean ‘90s theme’ or ‘90s wedding guest theme’ as the two would differ quite markedly IMO.

Lots of 90’s style dresses on asos - Here

Sharlene and Scott's wedding in neighbours- it's the 90s wedding of the decade! No more inspiration needed!

Littlepaws18 · 18/08/2022 21:58

Or Four weddings and a funeral- epic 90s wedding flic

EspressoPatronum · 18/08/2022 22:00

Sorry wrong link, This one!

PuppyMonkey · 18/08/2022 22:00

Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction? White shirt and black trousers - you just need the black bob. Grin

Patsy or Edina from Ab Fab? Or Saffie?

@UWhatNow
I think it depends where you were in the country?
@TheLassWiADelicateAir
Ball gowns were still a thing in the 90s definitely. I had a black corset one with a bronze full skirt.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 18/08/2022 22:24

Shortpoet · 18/08/2022 13:05

Slip dress, pashmina and wedge sandals would work.

Pashminas were all the rage in mid 90s

Yes! Remember Bridget and 'ex-pashspurt' 😂

TheLassWiADelicateAir · 18/08/2022 22:36

It's an odd decade to pick. I don't think there's a distinctive 1990s look. The 20s, 50s and 60s have the most distinct style and loads of people still wear 50s and 60s styles. The better stuff from the 70s is not dissimilar from 2022 long dresses. 80s is irredeemably awful.

If I still had my 1990s neat tailored suits and Laura Ashley and Monsoon dresses the only reason I wouldn't wear them now is because they don't fit. I still have one Monsoon dress and a Jackpot Carly Gris dress from the early/mid 90s I can still fit into. They are just long, button through floral dresses. They're very pretty but don't look any different from loads of 2022 dresses.

They absolutely were still a thing.

MichelleScarn · 18/08/2022 22:53

@TheLassWiADelicateAir I had similar! Crushed black velvet bodice, dropped waist bronze full skirted ballgown, absolutely loved that dress!

FrangipaniBlue · 18/08/2022 22:54

Try Googling famous 90s weddings and see what the images show guests wearing?

So people like Fergie & Andrew, Posh and Becks?

Cupofteaonesugar · 18/08/2022 22:55

Pick your favourite spice girl and make it your own 🥰

TheLassWiADelicateAir · 18/08/2022 22:55

It needs ironing but this was bought in 1995. It comes to just above ankle length.

Wear what you like and then add a choker, lipgloss, some sort of face/body glitter and a streak of hair mascara plus possibly some White Musk eau de toilette from the body shop if wished.

MichelleScarn · 18/08/2022 22:58

This was mine but bronze and longer! Prob bit too dark for a wedding?

I would still wear something like that- and not even ironically !

1987 but close enough 😁
