| I'm 19 and attending my cousin's wedding soon. I haven't been to a wedding for 6 or so years so I have no idea what I should wear. Are there general rules I should follow? I hear it's impolite to wear all white, bright colors, vibrant red, stilettos, all-over sparkly clothes. Is this pretty much right?The ceremony is in a church and the reception is at a hotel. I think it's a mid-afternoon 'til night wedding.Thanks! |

| Yes you have it pretty much right. Just remember that the wedding is the bride's special day so you should try to blend into the background! |

| Definitely do not wear white!! First rule of thumb -And though weddings may be a great place to meet a guy - don't dress like a slut!!At my wedding my cousin wore a short black dress with a plunging neck line - with a bright pink racing stripe down the dress - it was hideous - and annoying!Basically, use common sense. |

| For western culture: don't wear white (reserved for the bride, at a wedding) and don't wear black (suggests funerals). Other than that (and a general "don't try to draw attention from the bride", thus sparkly or very sexy, for example, is a bad idea) then you just try to fit in with the dress for the wedding itself. Given a church wedding and fairly late in the day reception (the later in the day, the more formal wear, generally), it's probably a fairly dressy occasion, but you could also ask a more-involved family member just how formal to expect. |

| Fashion for weddings has relaxed in recent years, so don't worry too much. The only one you MUST follow is no head-to-toe white. Other than that, you just need to look nice. I'd go for a knee length skirt, button-down blouse and shoes with a small heel, all in spring-y pastel colors. |

| pretty much anything that would take attention away from the bride is a no no. Something simple and pretty but not revealing, screams look at me or over the top is what should be worn |

| Its a daytime wedding, so your dress should be pretty but not much skin showing. For church weddings, aim for conservative good taste, and you can't go wrong. Stay away from low cut necklines, high hemlines, and tight fitting clothes, they're too slutty for a wedding. Tight fitting clothes are definately on the way out anyway. To put it in simple terms, don't try to draw attention to yourself. This is your cousin's big day, let HER shine. |

| Yeah seems like you have the basic idea. I mean, I don't think the shoes matter as much as your overall appearance. Don't have anything super flashy. Dress modestly. |

| If it is church wedding, never wear strapless/tank style dresses. Shoulders should be covered for a church ceremony. Mid-afternoon/evenings are a little more dressy than a daytime wedding. Tradition says to not wear white or black. For your age I would say if your would wear an outfit out to a club, don't wear it to a wedding. |

| Rules? There are no rules for weddings anymore. As long as you are not dressed offensively, wear what makes you feel comfortable. Typically where I'm from, the church ceremony is several hours before the reception, so people wear one thing to the ceremony and then change into a more dressy attire for the reception. Having had plenty of friends get married, I will tell you brides notice when people are dressed too conservative and don't take too kindly to that. After all, they spent all the time and money on a fancy dress and lavish affair, why wouldn't you dress for the event? |

| I think the "no red" is a little old fashioned now, there are some gorgeous classy red dresses, I think it is more the style of dress that you would have to watch, nothing tarty, nothing too low cut, nothing too short etc, The most obvious one is no white/cream etc, although I have to say my mother in law wore a cream suit to my wedding and she looked incredible, it didn't bother me, I was wearing blue. Stilettos are fine if they are not prostitute looking, you can get lovely shoes with heels that are classy, not trampy looking. Basically avoid anything that makes you look like a hooker, or a wanna-be bride. |
