r/Weddingattireapproval on Reddit: Help finding a dress for “neutral formal evening” dress code.

Need help with neutral guest pallet

Hi all! Friends wedding upcoming in 3 weeks. My husband is a groomsman and will be wearing a black tux. I am newly postpartum and getting used to my new body. Our son is 3 months old and I’ve been able to get to a size medium which I am so proud of myself for. I had a dress in mind that I was going to wear but then I realized the bride is requesting that we all wear “ formal evening wear neutrals”. Everything I’m finding looks so bridal, or is tight fitting and just feels off in my new postpartum body. I need help finding a neutral dress with sleeves that is not too form fitting. For reference I’m 5’3 with blonde hair and blue eyes (hoping for something that doesn’t totally wash me out!) also do yall think it’s okay to wear black as a neutral in this case?

Help finding a dress for “neutral formal evening” dress code.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but these DCs seem like they’re getting out of hand. There are a lot of definitions for neutral. Cream? Beige? Tan? Blush? And yes, maybe black? I mean, maybe she would be OK with all these, but I don’t know how you can tell. Obviously, I guess ask for more information. Too bad they don’t just focus more on other things and less on the guests. But I’m old-fashioned lol More on reddit.com

Is it rude to ask guests to dress within a color scheme?
I've been to weddings where this was requested. You will likely be judged behind your back. Guests may complain. Some may ignore you. Up to you if you care. More on reddit.com

Is it normal to request guests not to wear black or neutral colors?
Hard pass on this. Do they think guys are all going to buy terracotta suits? No. No, they won’t. Women overwhelmingly bear the financial burden for shit like this and I’m over it. I went to 6 weddings one year. My partner wore the same suit to each one, just changed out accessories/shirt. I had to have several dresses, so I did my best to at least get things I could wear again. I bought a pale pink dress when I was in my sister’s wedding, but no, I’m not searching for a knee-length celery green dress so some dipshit’s bride-to-be has a color-coordinated shot for IG. Be serious. It’s common courtesy to mind the formality of the dress code and to avoid dresses that look bridal. Fine. But this shit ain’t it. More on reddit.com

Formal, neutral colors only
Everything in this photo should work, florals and patterns (as long as they are neutral) should work great! More on reddit.com

What is a Wedding Guest Dress?
What makes a dress wedding-guest appropriate? It’s able to transition from traditions to celebrations, and matches the type of wedding you’re attending. While there are some traditional rules to follow - such as not wearing white or black - the rest is up for interpretation. It’s best to check with the bride and groom, or someone else in the wedding party, if there’s a dress code. These days there are fewer “wedding guest dress etiquette” rules. Even jumpsuits have become wedding appropriate for women. Our biggest piece of advice? It’s best to follow traditional rules if you don’t know the cou

What's the Difference Between a Party Dress and a Wedding Guest Dress?
Most party dresses can be wedding dresses. However, wedding attire tends to be more modest in neckline and length, and less bold in colors and patterns. After all, the day isn’t about looking at the guests. Make sure you’re comfortable having your ensemble eternalized in their wedding album.

What should I wear to a wedding as a guest?
Your attire as a wedding guest depends on the wedding's formality, location, and dress code. Opt for a long dress or gown for formal weddings, and choose a dressy outfit for casual or beach weddings. You can find outfits by dress code under the “Dress Code” section of our site. Generally, it's courteous to avoid wearing white or off white to avoid overshadowing the bride.

In more formal settings, consider classic shades like navy, burgundy, emerald green, or sophisticated neutrals to maintain an elegant appearance. Floral prints are perfect for seasonally warm weddings, offering a fresh and joyful vibe, whereas bold abstract prints can make a statement at both casual and formal events without overshadowing the occasion. Remember, it's generally wise to avoid wearing white, off-white, or bridal-themed colors to respect the uniqueness of the bride's dress and overall wedding theme. Wedding guest dresses and outfits come in a variety of styles so if you're wondering what to wear, you're already on the path to making a great choice.
