But What To Wear At Different Wedding Function In Brisbane?
As a bride, you will be madly searching for the right dress
, having one two or even three fittings and fretting about styles, hair and matching shoes.
But what about your guests?
They too are having a hard time deciding what the wear to your wedding. The number of times an invitation has arrived at my place and said smart casual, lounge wear or nothing at all; countless.
What does it all mean? If they suggest lounge suit, can I wear what I sloth around in on the couch? I dont think anyone needs to see me out and abut in my free Qantas business class PJs (stolen by the way)
What is smart casual? This can end up with some girls in cocktail dresses and guys in their best shorts. What does cocktail mean exactly and where do you draw the line between race wear and semi-formal?
Formal is a rarity but it does happen too. The girls have no issues with this, however there are still a few question marks about black tie vs. formal; but guys seem to get it wrong almost all of the time or is that just me looking through champagne goggles at the end of the night when guys have their shirts hanging half out and their fly undone?
Either way, the last thing you need is a mismatched crowd. Although it may not matter to you on your happiest day, brides, it will make everyone feel uneasy and self-conscious about their style of the day.
As a result I think we should break it up into 4 categories and be done with it:
1.Smart Casual We are having a wedding on the beach but please dont take this literally and wear your bikini or boardies. You cant wear torn jeans but nice denims are ok. Shorts are a no-no. For girls, a maxi dress is nice with perhaps a nice necklace, a sundress or casual pant suit would be cool.
2. Lounge / Semi Formal Guys NO JEANS. You can wear trousers and a button up shirt. If its cold, wear a lounge jacket (ie. One of those jackets that sit in the back of the cupboard most of the time but you dont wear to work in the office). The pants and jacket do not have to match material.
Girls wear what you would to the races BUT not the tacky general admin area, what you would don for the members stand. Just lose the hat.
3. Formal Dudes, wear a suit with a button up shirt. Wear a tie and then if it looks like no one else I wearing one, give it to a homeless person on the way to the reception and go neck exposed. Hot!
Chicks; wear a great dress one that costs more than $100 and that you just LOVE to wear. Short or long is fine (but not too short, we dont want your thighs to take the attention away from bride).
4. Black Tie Guys, wear a suit, and a TIE or bow tie. Pretty simple. Gals, really make a statement. Long dresses or ones that come to mid shin height are good choices but not above the knee thats just tacky. This is the opportunity to use that Pashmina your granny gave you and you might have been using as a table runner up until now.
Hope that clears some things up for yall!
