Wedding Guest Attire

Hey!

I have a wedding to attend at the beginning of June, and I am just wondering how 'out-of-season' I may look. I have a cute, black, v-neck, cocktail length dress *it has been hemmed so it is all the same length at the front and back. I was planning on wearing it with black sandals (with a nude base) and red lipstick.

I did a make up trial with my make up artist and she surprised me with a red lip - which I absolutely adored however it doesn't quite match the theme and feel on our wedding day.

So... I really want to wear this look but I am not sure it will match the summer time. The wedding I am attending is at the Gibson Centre in Alliston - which is a really nice venue so I don't think I would be overdressed...

I will attach pictures.

    I love the kimono you are pairing with your dress, which I think will be lovely no matter the season!

    Girls first THANK YOU for all the positive reinforcement, I feel much better about the upcoming wedding.
    I also went out on a whim a bought a red kimono from Urban Planet that I think will pair nicely *fingers crossed* I pull it all together 🙃

    Thank you ☺️

    I am not very knowledgeable in the world of fashion and that’s why I thought I would reach out!

    I feel like maybe I’m just the least fashion forward person out there ...but I’ve always worn outfits to weddings or special events that I’m comfortable in. At my sister in laws wedding...I wore a dark navy dress....I never really paid attention to the season.

    i think your dress is absolutely beautiful! If you’re comfortable in it then wear it 100%. You could always wear a pastel or light coloured shawl or clutch like some of the other ladies have mentioned!

    I think light make up would look amazing as well.

    all the best! I’m sure you will look stunning in whatever you choose!

    I dont think it will look out of season... I'm familiar with the Gibson centre and it's a beautiful venue and dont think youd be overdressed at all! I think you could make it a bit more summery though with maybe a bright/floral clutch if you're worried about it Smiley smile

    I see what you're saying Tori, I could do that. I will have to see if any part of their day is outdoors and maybe wait until later in the evening to look so dressed up, thanks for your input (:

    I think that makeup with that dress will look very elegant! I like!!

    I do get what you're saying about it being out of season though - no so much out of season as more of an evening look. Is there maybe a chance of you wearing a lighter lip colour for the ceremony and changing the lip colour for the reception? Just a thought Smiley smile
