Is this outfit appropriate for a wedding? UPDATE Post 19

[LadyyRedd]

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow. The wedding is at 11:30am and the reception immediately follows. It's not a fancy wedding at all. They are getting married in the same place that they are having the reception. The tables for the reception are where we will be sitting for the wedding and they will be getting married in the middle of them (or at the front of them, I'm not sure).

Would it be appropriate to wear black gauchos, a dressy tank top or blouse, and maybe skin color heeled sandals?

In my OP it would be too dressed down, but then again, i don't know the people that will be at the wedding. so once again i am just no help on the DIS

Seems very casual to me. I have been to some very fancy weddings that were held at the reception hall, so I wouldn't base it being casual because of that.

I would wear the blouse with the gauchos, not a tank top...and I think it is perfectly FINE for a morning wedding.

It's a coworker's of my sister's that my sister is friends with. My sister told me it wasn't a fancy wedding. She also gave me the details about it being held in the banquet room at the restaurant.

I don't want to be overdressed (though I know it's better to be overdressed than underdressed). I also thought that being at 11:30am instead of the afternoon or evening, it would be more casual.

Of course...if everyone thinks I should wear something dressier, I'm cool with doing that. But wanted to see what everyone thought!

Of course - you would know the place they are having the wedding/reception at - and that would help to determine how formal/casual the wedding might be.

However, I feel that more-casual attire would be appropriate for a late morning wedding and an early afternoon reception.

I think you'll be fine!

I'd probably go with a slightly dressier top, but it sounds like a cute outfit!

I agree.

It totally depends on your culture! Where I'm from we wear normal dresses to weddings. Around here where we live now jeans are normal! I went to a wedding in upstate NY and everyone was in suits and formal dresses!

I'm not far from Frederick, is the restaurant local? If it's someplace like Mountain Gate or Cozy, it would be much less formal than say Dutch's Daughter! But either way, your outfit sounds fine to me. You could do a tank if it's a silk one or something similar. Dress it up with some nice jewelry and I think you're good to go!

Yes, I would wear the blouse over the tank top too...

I was thinking the same thing: Dutch's, Ceresville or Tauraso's would mean a little dressier.

One of my coworkers wears really nice gauchos with a twinset and it looks dressy enough for a morning wedding, IMO.

(Of course, if it's at a Red Man Club, all you need to do is wear a jean skirt and that tank top. Trust me, voice of experience here!)

I would wear black shoes with black pants/dress/skirt. Your shoes should always match or be darker than your hem.

If its sexy, its appropriate

I think your choice is far too casual. As a guy, I always wear a suit to weddings, even those on the beach. For casual/beach/morning weddings, I'll wear a casual khaki suit with no tie and brown loafers, or something along those lines. Sure there are people there wearing more casual clothes, but I certainly wouldn't want to risk being the most under dressed person at the wedding...borderline inappropriate and very embarrassing.

 

[supercarrie]

For a morning non-formal wedding, it sounds fine. I agree with Anne (ducklite) - wear black heels instead, though.

That is so true!!! Where we're from you'll see the gamut from suits and dresses (nothing formal or black tie tho!!) to jeans and a nice shirt (mostly guys). I've never been to a formal wedding.

I think the black gauchos are fine, but I'd do black snadals. I'd also do a bit of a dressier top than a tank top, unless it's a dressy tank top, which some of them are. If it's a silky/satiny material, then it would be OK. How about wearing the tank with a blouse over it, so if the event turned out to be a bit dressy, you'd be OK, and if it didn't, you could take off the blouse and be more casual.

 

[LadyyRedd]

For Suzanne and Abbie - it was at the Cozy in Thurmont. Believe me, had it been Dutch's Daughter, I wouldn't even have thought about wearing that outfit! LOL!

I did wear gauchos, but brown ones, with a brown blouse (with a pink flower design) and brown sandals.

And after all was said and done, I SO did NOT have to worry about being underdressed! I was probably one of the dressiest ones there.

But it was a great time and a beautiful wedding.
