Wedding Guest Attire

The last wedding I went to was a year ago. It was in July, in Charlotte, NC, at 6 pm, in 150 degree sunshine. It was an outdoor wedding. It was a family wedding but they said to wear something cool even though it was at 6 pm. They didn't expect anyone to wear extremely formal attire (i.e. tuxedos, etc.) I wore a black dress that came down to my knees and was short sleeved. I was cool as I could possibly be in the hot southern heat. BTW, I absolutely hated the wedding because the bride's side was absolutely the rudest, most uncongeniable people I have ever seen. I about turned around and told them they were giving Northerners a bad name (i.e. they were from Pennsylvania and so was the bride). My cousin met her at law school at the University of Pittsburgh. She dropped out after the first year because she didn't like it. She was rather whiney. Oh well. Off of my soapbox.

I say wear what you want to just as long as it's not jeans and a t-shirt.

Being a "Northerner" I'm curious what they were doing that gave us a bad name.

Or how what they were doing had anything to do with where they hailed from geographically. It's like saying that one Chinese family acting like idiots gives all Chinese people a bad name.

Rudeness and general idiocy isn't limited by geography, race, or any other boundaries one can think of.

You give Northerners a bad name makes me think of Bon Jovi which makes me happy.

Honeychile, I think that you can wear the same colors as her sorority or her bridal party. One thing though, my sister inadvertently wore a very similar dress as a bridal party a few years ago. Everyone kept confusing her as a bridesmaid including the photographer. It was pretty funny. They had great taste in dresses.

Wearing pink and green is no problem, as long as it's not too "springy" for the season.

It's a hunter green velvet dress, with pink piping. It has a pink jacket, but I don't usually wear it with it. I know it sounds ugly, but it's just funky enough that I love it!

I don't see why that wouldn't be acceptable - just don't carry a purse with a turtle on it.

Oh that would work just fine! Very appropriate for the fall... I wish I could pull off velvet

But anyway, I think your dress sounds cute

Thanks! Now, if I could only get this scanner working...

We have these handbags available through our Gift Mart, and I'm thinking that one of the pink ones would be great!

I think it sounds perfectly seasonal... and I'd love to see a picture of it!

I like the smaller clutches with the detachable straps. My only concern is the pink color in the purse may not match pink in the jacket.
