Could I wear this outfit to a Christmas Eve wedding?

Could I wear this to a late afternoon Christmas Eve wedding? Friends are getting married this year and I’ve left it very late to get an outfit. I want to look glam casual as that’s the stated vibe. DH going black tie. Plan would be matching shoes and an ivory coloured calf length faux fur coat that I already own. Concerns are that it looks inappropriate for a wedding or that it’s too light or close to bridal colours. Opinions please.

It’s lovely but I’d say it’s too white to be appropriate.

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 22/11/2025 15:38

I wouldn't personally...
It is a nice outfit though

OhBuggerandArse · 22/11/2025 15:38

It's lovely, but unless the photo is very misleading it is basically white. So... no, I don't think you can.

I think it’s gorgeous and very wedding suitable as long as the bride isn’t precious about you wearing ivory. Maybe check with her, but it’s beautiful 😍

Lovely outfit but not for a wedding

Turnitoffnonagain · 22/11/2025 15:39

It looks lovely, but I'd say it's too light.
Unless you know for sure the bride is wearing a colour other than white or cream?

2old4thispoo · 22/11/2025 15:40

Not appropriate for a wedding, too white/cream.

It’s champagne coloured so a light gold!

Unless you’re the bride don’t be that person.

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 22/11/2025 15:41

Its available in multiple other colours.
I'd just buy it in any colour except white/ivory / champagne

WhatdoesitmeanKeith · 22/11/2025 15:41

Of all the colours you can choose. Just no.

CathyBlowsBubbles · 22/11/2025 15:43

Thanks everyone! It does look lighter online but I take the point. It’s actually a pale gold. There’s a darker red I’ll link to. Would this be better?

Absolutely not.

Choose another colour.

Merseymum1980 · 22/11/2025 15:43

No too bridal coloured
Although if i were getting married to someone id be too happy to care who wore what x

TwinkleTwinkleLittleBatgirl · 22/11/2025 15:44

So a full ivory/bridal coloured outfit, including a long coat? Is that you Aunt Sarah?! 🫣😆

tempname1234 · 22/11/2025 15:45

Absolutely not! I think you know that too

WearyAuldWumman · 22/11/2025 15:45

Not unless you're the bride.

ETA Pale gold would also be too bridal nowadays.

Xiaoxiong · 22/11/2025 15:46

Yes the burgundy is much better!!

Xiaoxiong · 22/11/2025 15:47

The purple is beautiful too.

Others would remember.

I recall that that eyebrows were raised when Princess Grace wore white to Princess Anne's first wedding. (I remember watching the footage on tv and thinking that it was an incredibly mean thing to do.)

The red would be perfect for a Christmas wedding

Apileofballyhoo · 22/11/2025 15:49

Is your DH not going to be overdressed?

OhBuggerandArse · 22/11/2025 15:49

Also, tell your DH - glam casual is not black tie, unless he's got inside info.

ShesTheAlbatross · 22/11/2025 15:49

Agree with PPs, it’s too bridal. Obviously some brides would be totally fine with it, but if you’re not sure, why risk it (and to be honest, I would suggest that someone having a Christmas Eve wedding is going to be slightly more unreasonable and “me me me” about their wedding than the average bride given their willingness to disrupt everyone’s Christmas).

The red is nice.
