White and its variations (champagne, ivory) are usually reserved for the bride. You don\u2019t want to be mistaken for a bride, or to draw attention to yourself. There are many colours to choose from, so it\u2019s best to play it safe and pick something else. After all, you don\u2019t want to be remembered as a person who wore a white dress to someone else\u2019s wedding. Even if the bride says that it\u2019s okay to wear white, you should stay away from it<\/a>. Therefore, choose any other colour apart from white, and you\u2019ll be good to go.<\/p>\n Some couples prefer a themed wedding<\/a>, while others just want a certain dress code to give their reception a distinct flair. Even if you don\u2019t feel like it, keep in mind that it\u2019s somebody else\u2019s special day and that they have all the right to do anything they please. Yes, maybe wearing an all-black isn\u2019t your thing, but you can wear it for that specific occasion, and then never again. Being respectful and following the dress code (if there is one, of course) will help you feel more relaxed, especially if you\u2019re among the people you don\u2019t know that well.<\/p>\n Attending a wedding often means staying until late and dancing a lot, so if you\u2019re someone who loves having fun, then it\u2019s recommended to pick clothes and footwear that are practical and elegant at the same time. If you love wearing heels, then you should opt for chunky ones or platforms that will give you more comfort and support. Additionally, when picking various clothes, it\u2019s important to find cuts that compliment your figure, but also that will let you dance and sit without feeling uncomfortable throughout the evening.<\/p>\n It is well-known that carefully-chosen accessories can transform even the most boring outfit. So, if you\u2019re planning to spice up your outfit, then you should definitely opt for a necklace or a pair of earrings that go well with it. Still, it\u2019s important to match jewelery to your outfit<\/a> especially if you\u2019re wearing pieces with precious stones such as rubies or emeralds. Also, make sure to wear only one or maximum two statement pieces, because otherwise, you risk end up looking tacky. Keep in mind that weddings should be all about the bride and groom, so anything you do should be slightly understated at best.<\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing more awkward than choosing a slightly different, but same-coloured dress as a group of bridesmaids because that automatically makes you look like a third-wheel to them. It might sound cruel, but it\u2019s true. If you\u2019re close to the bride, make sure to ask her before the wedding, so you won\u2019t end up choosing the same colour. If you know one of the bridesmaids, feel free to ask her directly, and if you don\u2019t know anyone, then you definitely won\u2019t make a mistake by choosing a little black dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trying to upstage the bride is the worst thing you can do when attending a wedding. Aside from being rude, it will also make you look desperate for attention. As we mentioned before, wearing white to a wedding is a big no, so anything you do, make sure to keep your looks understated and elegant. That includes wearing clothes that are too skimpy or too eye-catching. Even if you\u2019re someone who loves distinct and unusual fashion choices, remember that a wedding should be all about the bride and her dress.<\/p>\n Some people are simply born to wear jeans, tracksuits, and hoodies, but if you\u2019re going to a wedding, then you shouldn\u2019t wear anything deemed casual. It\u2019s respectful to make an effort because if you were the one getting married, you\u2019d probably expect your guests to do the same. So, if you really like casual wear, then at least try to find the most appropriate replacement for your beloved pieces, so instead of jeans, you can wear other trousers<\/a>, matched with your favourite shirt and elegant shoes.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Don\u2019t-wear-white.jpg\")
