Could I wear this outfit to a Christmas Eve wedding?

[CathyBlowsBubbles]

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 the kind of outfit a bride might change into later so no.

No - too white (for me at least)

Beautiful but not in this color bc wedding

Red is much better!

It's never appropriate to wear a very light cream/champagne etc dress to a wedding unless you're the bride.

God no

It's white you don't do that to a friend

Red will be lovely.

what a pain in the arse of a day to have a wedding though!! Are you all spending Christmas together too? I’m intrigued by how this even works. So inconsiderate of the couple - I’d be so pissed off if anyone other that my siblings did this.

I think this is dependent on the demographics of the guest list. I’m sure the couple understood the issues around it.

Maybe the tradition is a big family get together on Christmas Day. In which case the Christmas Eve wedding makes sense logistically.
Surely people only accept invitations they can actually attend?

That Derry Girls clip is hilariously cringe thank you!
I think MN need to clip that onto Style and Beauty.

I'd even be pissed off at my siblings!

Too wannabe bride

Yes, but two wrongs don't make a right. And the reason people don't mither the bride with this is because it's a bad idea.

There is a settled etiquette in these matters. Just adhere to it instead of putting the bride in the potentially awkward position of telling people what it's ok to wear. It's about more than the bride's colour preferences anyway, she may genuinely not care about what the guests wear but also not want the potential consequences of having to hear people talk about said etiquette breach.

Lovely in red! V Christmassy. And I like that it's actually 2 pieces, so versatile for other occasions

I think the red is nicer anyway. Personally I think the red top will be more versatile to re wear for future Christmas events. It would be a great statement piece with worn either jeans or smart trousers/skirt.

Of course you can’t! And I think you already know that.

It’s lovely! I wouldn’t have given two hoots about someone else wearing this colour when I got married but some brides might.

She's going for the red.

I think the red is a good choice for Christmas Eve.

I agree.
I don’t think the bride would be too happy.
However if it is 2 guys they might not mind.

One thing to think about even if it isn't white in real life - it obviously photographs as white and so will be commentd on when people look back at photos

😆 Why would we be trying to upstage them? I’ve already said upthread that I’ve opted for the red now.
DH is wearing black tie but with new white trainers. This is what a significant number of the men are wearing. It was difficult to gauge. What would you suggest men wear to a glam casual wedding? I don’t think glam and casual go together for men’s attire but happy to be corrected and I’ll pass it along to them all.

Is this a reverse and someone is trying to wear it? It's far too white.

Just to confirm again: I’ve gone for the red!

It's all fine and the red looks fantastic! Have a great time!

Thank you, and thank you for reading and understanding that I’ve listened and opted for the red!
