Do posh wedding guests have any more clue than we do?

Looking at the coverage of Peter Phillips’ wedding I’m amazed by some of the outfits. Clearly a lot of these people have money but it really doesn’t show - some of the choices look very unstylish to me. Creased dresses, raffia wedges, mismatched accessories. I appreciate it was a rubbish day weather-wise so may have needed a few last minute rethinks but what hope is there for the rest of us when even those with access to the best designers and a presumably healthy budget look pretty average at best.

Oh no I didn’t realise I’d inadvertently tempted people over to the dark side!

I wonder if we’re so accustomed to the very polished ‘done’ looks we see on social media and that’s why this bunch of fairly normal looking people don’t come across as perhaps I’d expected. Obviously there’s no reason why they should and as a PP said it’s nicer to see than the sea of fake boobs, fake lips and fake tan that seems to be common at other summer events but I’m glad I’m not the only one who was a bit surprised.

I clicked on this with interest because I do think it is a bit odd that Kate often wears very pale outfits to weddings https://www.dailymail.com/news/royals/article-15883517/Kate-Middleton-white-wedding-dress-Peter-Phillips.html

The article offers no insight and basically says she wears pale colours because they are summery.

I thought Kate looked lovely at the wedding last weekend. But I personally would not wear something that could photograph as white to a wedding. It feels safer to go with a colour. I have worn black to a wedding a few times and I know some people consider that a no no.

The no pale dresses rule does seem a bit silly. I don’t think anyone would look at Camilla or Kate at the weekend and think they were trying to upstage the bride.

My best friend’s mother in law wore white to her wedding though and that did feel like a ‘choice’

lol at “ultra pale lemon” which is the description of one of her coat dresses.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with any of those very pale wedding outfits Kate has worn.

But imagine if she was a MNer and had posted them for opinions - she’d be told that they were entirely unsuitable.

Yep, which just goes to show how daft those opinions about unsuitability are.

Bad bras.

Poor posture
ungainly walking gaits
black tights with black shoes and pastel dress absolutely dreadful

espadrilles always in style with
jeans and a bateau neck Breton or other classic style shirt. Not wedding attire

As a lover of vintage I frequently wear very old clothes to weddings - had no idea I was being disrespectful! I've also had my go to wedding handbag for nearly 20 years - didn't realise this was subtly conveying my disapproval of my friends and relatives' marriages...
