I've been invited to a super super smart wedding in Paris - royalty meets rock royalty, very international guest list but a fair proportion of guests will be French because the bride grew up there. Its an early afternoon wedding, with an evening do afterwards, with no opportunity to change in-between. So my question is, what do smart but fairly cool and elegant Parisiennes wear to weddings like this? Same as in the UK/US, ie evening/cocktail type dresses with wraps etc over the top to keep you warm in the day (its in May, so not too cold)? Or is it more of a formal dress type thing? Really excited to be going and sooooo don't want to get it wrong!

Oh yes,of course I was going to say you need a coordinated evening coat, but Anna got in first.

Bonsoir · 26/01/2010 21:25

Yes, and you can get a coordinated bag and shoes...

I'm desperate to go shopping at the moment...

Brad perhaps if you had gorn to Desaange International on the Rue De La Abraham Lincoln and seen Edward, Kany or Fro Frou you would not have to wrap mummifying scarves around your head today

What a bunch of inverted snobs! If the OP wants to know what to wear to a French wedding involving Royalty, then wisdom from someone titled - ie old aristocracy wedding - and French or married to French is directly relevant. Leave Bonsoir and Frakkin to it, they seem to know what they're talking about.

But that wouldn't be any fun

In the context of a royalty meets rock royalty wedding, you might get away with wearing something slightly excentric since you are British?

Thanks so much guys, you've been so very helpful! Am now practically orgasmic at the thought of a gorgeous outfit and having my hair done on the day - thanks for all the tips!

Now I just need to go shopping - deep deep joy!
