And then there is the old saying that you can never be overdressed. You may look a bit nicer than some of the other guests, but that's not a bad thing! Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017667 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 12:09:13 +0000 Anonymous 1017667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the other comments. I've seen brides say casual to accommodate those family members and friends who won't dress up but are secretly quite pleased when guests dress to honor their special day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017627 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:14:06 +0000 kkards 1017627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i agree with the others, wear the dress you had planned on, but bring a jacket that can tone it down if needed. i would wear low heeled casual shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017606 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 08:07:54 +0000 MovingFashionForward 1017606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear the lovely dress but bring something decidedly casual (like a denim or leather jacket (with or without sleeves)&nbsp;to tone it down should you turn out to be over-dressed, and/or I'd wear or bring just in case&nbsp;footwear that would say 'casual' or 'tough' or in some way modify the dressiness of the dress&nbsp;too. But I would definitely wear the dress you have planned. If your dress wouldn't look right with a denim or leather jacket I'll bet it would still be sufficiently toned-down just by wearing the right footwear.</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017580 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 06:39:19 +0000 shaz 1017580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good idea might run into town and look for a top to match with trousers just in case of irish weather&nbsp;need a new one anyway lol or at least that's my excuse thanks anne </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017579 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 06:35:19 +0000 anne 1017579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At this late stage just go with what you have planned and brave it out if you are overdressed! Better to do overdressed than underdressed.&nbsp; OR If I remember correctly most of your fancy bits are in accessories/toppers? Just bring along another less fancy one to dress it down more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-informal-wedding#post-1017573 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 06:11:03 +0000 shaz 1017573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is considered informal wedding clothing for a wedding reception in the evening at a hotel in the country, i was planning on wearing a dress had it all worked out now im panicking it might be to much and the weddings tomorrow so not much time to find something suitable&nbsp; </p>
