Wedding attire

[bumble]

Moving on from the earlier question, my boyfriends brother is getting married in March, my boyfriends one of his Best Men. It's been a few years since I went to a wedding. Any ideas on what I should be wearing, suitable attire? If I wear a dress, I have a strapless silk one, presumably i'd need a jacket?

thanks

To be honest it shouldnt matter what you wear, they want you to share their big day and that is all that should matter. I you have a dress and you feel comfortable in it then wear that. Perhaps you could get some new shoes and a bag to make it feel like a new outfit and make you feel more glam. One of my friends wears fancy embroidered/jewelled wraps instead of jackets, they always look gorgeous.

You haven't said what the wedding invitation has stated - most would say 'Formal' or 'Morning Dress' etc. The norm is to dress smartly - if it's a formal wedding then you should wear a hat or a fascinator. If it's a church wedding, a strapless dress is best left to the bride!

Most weddings aren't that formal any more and outfits are as much about wearing something that is suitable for the entire day, not just the service. A strapless silk dress sounds perfect but some churches frown upon bare shoulders (even for brides - my local Catholic church has banned them). Also, with it being March it's bound to be a bit chilly. A jacket with a glam dress might look too starchy and mother-of-the-bride. But pashminas are great for covering up and keeping warm in a v. glam way (and can be dead cheap to buy if you hunt around) and when you get to the reception you have your fab party dress on underneath for all that champagne drinking and dancing! There are also lots of cute cardigans in the shops right now or, if you don't mind getting a bit chilly, a shrug will cover up your shoulders while not hiding your dress (eBay has loads of them). Hope you have a great time!

silk strapless dress is good choice for wedding. Even you can go for knee length sleeveless dress if wedding is in church. What ever you choose make you are comfortable in it. do not choose white or black color for your wedding dress.
