To this day I'm still bitter towards a cousin who sent her kids to my wedding in jeans. These kids for sure have way nicer clothes than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186588 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 00:25:23 +0000 StbHisMrs 186588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still can't get over my husbands brothers wife (his brother has passed, not sure what to call her) anyway her boyfriend wore dirty carharts, a ripped up stained carhart sweatshirt and dirty boots. She wore a hot pink tight camisole and too low rise worn out jeans with flipflops. She gave her son a mo-hawk dyed pink, and dyed daughters hair hot pink and put her in jeans. I wanted to cry for the bride. Because my dh was in the wedding and I didn't know too many people I had to sit by them, EMBARASSING!!! </p> <p>I only wear dresses and heels, no pants, and nothing to revealing. I have this super cute white house black market white dress with black satin trim and embroidery , I always want to wear it but it's white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186568 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 23:41:31 +0000 BSB 186568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White is my only rule. Although, in my culture it's a tradition for the mother of the bride to wear white, too. My mom wore off-white to my sister's wedding. </p> <p>I did wear a short skirt and a polo to my sister's wedding. She told me not to worry about dressing up so I didn't. The wedding entire was casual. I did feel under dressed. Although, there was one guest who wore torn up jeans to the wedding so I wasn't the worst one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186566 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 23:00:54 +0000 eeh 186566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Things are a little different where I'm from I think...it's pretty standard for guys to wear jeans to a wedding. My husband rarely (as in I can count on 1 hand the number of times since we've met) wears anything other than jeans. He does have "dress" jeans which are darker and clean and in good condition. He'll wear those with a nice button down shirt and his dress boots. It's the same thing he wears to church. I always dress up but that might mean a dress it might be slacks and a dressy top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186537 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 21:58:09 +0000 Sweet T 186537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a wedding a few years ago and there was a group of people who showed up late wearing jeans &amp; tshirts AND were drinking beers! It was the craziest thing I've ever seen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186533 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 21:53:16 +0000 Grace 186533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always dress up for weddings. Why wouldn't you? It's so much fun! My wedding was at a club where there was a no jeans dress code so there were no jeans. But there was a couple (both girls) who I swear just wanted to make a statement. Both were in black dress pants, one had a corset top and the other had suspenders over a top and a fedora. My straight-laced aunts couldn't stop staring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186486 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:21:46 +0000 WiLLoWtReE 186486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um so I haven't read through everyone's comments but I'm going to bet no one can beat what one girl wore to MY WEDDING! At the time I could care less but a bunch of my friendsade a big deal about it. Oh and did I mention I had never met the girl before in my life? She came with my uncle and was a friend of my cousin or some bologna anyways she wore...</p> <p>Spaghetti strap shirt with exposed bra straps<br /> Jeans<br /> And HOUSE SHOES ... Slippers whatever you want to call them ... I'm talking full on animal/cartoon character fluffy house shoes! </p> <p>Lol people are ridiculous sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186403 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:42:13 +0000 mrsjyw 186403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>JORTS! went to a close friend's wedding and there were several men wearing JORTS!!!! it was a hot weekend, but cmon we were inside!!! at a WEDDING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186332 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:54:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 186332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's cousin wore jeans and flip flops to our wedding. Then she got trashed. Luckily she didn't make as scene.</p> <p>I went to a friend's wedding in somewhat rural Iowa and knew it was going to be interesting when as we were pulling into the country club for the ceremony/reception, the car in front of us threw a beer bottle out the window. There were quite a few people dressed like they were going to a backyard bbq. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186244 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:45:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 186244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A frown!</p> <p>MIL wore one, I had to crop her out of photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186242 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:42:34 +0000 littlebug 186242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely agree, no white dresses! I was at a wedding once where there were guys in jeans. But then groom changed out of his tux and into black jeans after the ceremony, so I guess it was ok with the couple. If it had been my wedding, I would have been pissed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-186233 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 186233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: OMG. whoa.<br /> That's insane.</p> <p>My wedding dress wasn't even white so I guess it would jace matched lol, that's soo awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185889 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:13:27 +0000 regberadaisy 185889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh. Agreed! Jeans, shorts or tshirts! I had a relative show up with a vneck tshirt and jeans! It was a "what the heck?" but we laughed it off.</p> <p>I don't think white or red dresses should be worn either!</p> <p>@mamabolt: *stunned silence* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185882 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:10:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 185882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should never wear jeans or white to a wedding! At my wedding a few of my cousins were in jeans and t shirts. And one of my friends wore a "club ho" dress (that's what my brother called it). The dress was white and stopped mid thigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185855 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:52:26 +0000 mamabolt 185855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You shouldn't rewear your own wedding dress to someone else's wedding. Yes, this happened at my wedding. It was a more casual dress since they had had a courthouse wedding, but it was still a long white dress. Oh, excuse me, she said it was ivory so it was ok.. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185848 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:46:52 +0000 boiledpnut 185848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always dress up for weddings, but at our wedding, we didn't care what people wore. It was a casual evening wedding. We told the guys they could wear khakis and a polo if they wanted....girls were good in sundresses. We had one guy in a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. No biggie for us. We just wanted people to be comfortable and have fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185830 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:36:48 +0000 MrsHotDog 185830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that sometimes people don't think. It blows my mind sometimes when I see what people wear to a wedding. My SMIL wore flip flops and my FIL wore Dockers with a polo style shirt - untucked. We had an evening wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185821 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:27:58 +0000 Rescuemom10 185821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I agree on wearing white to a wedding, thats a no-no!</p> <p>@Coco Bee: My wedding was in MN, I would have been irritated as all get out of people wore that to mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185806 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:18:17 +0000 autumnlove 185806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dirty tennis shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185793 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:08:32 +0000 cyneswith 185793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All white dresses, shorts, short skirts, t-shirts, and tank-tops. I feel weird wearing tank-tops if I'm not working out or gardening - why on earth would someone wear one to a highly photographed semi-formal event? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185787 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:04:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 185787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been complaining to my DH at every wedding we have been too. If you attend the ceremony you better be in at least slacks for a man, and slacks/dress for a woman. </p> <p>"Club wear" should never be worn to a wedding, nothing drives me more nuts than girls in hoochie dresses in a church/formal setting. I have seen jeans at receptions, and I usually give this a buy if they only attend the part, even though I don't like it. And WHITE sundresses, not the right occasion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185778 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:00:39 +0000 purrpletulips 185778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the most casual I've ever worn to a wedding was a skirt and tank/overshirt combo but DD was only 5w and still nursing frequently so I had to dress functionally as well as appropriate (didn't own any dresses and was still too pp to buy something new that would be usable again). I am going to be 28w pregnant at an upcoming wedding and will be wearing a maxi sundress but plan to wear a light sweater since it is spaghetti straps. These are/were both daytime weddings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185774 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:59:28 +0000 chopsuey 185774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! You should always dress up for a wedding! And never wear a white dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185765 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:56:48 +0000 MamaMoose 185765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No white and nothing too revealing. I believe that for the vast majority of weddings women should be in dresses and men should be in suits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185760 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:53:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 185760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jumpingjacks: woah - that is impressive. and a little nuts! if i had the money for that i think that would have been awesome - esp. for people to pay for hotels &amp; airfare.... but alas, not a multi-millionaire.</p> <p>i, too, think you should dress up for weddings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185752 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:49:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 185752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: no they didn't. But most invites I get don't, I mean, it's expected to be semi-formal unless the invite says black-tie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185748 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:48:45 +0000 Jumpingjacks 185748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who married into an extremely wealthy family. When her Father-in-law got re-married, those who rsvp'd to the wedding were given a pre-paid credit card in advance and instructed as to the dress code. (new outfits were on him!). It was a ritzy wedding and they ensured everyone dressed appropriately. I thought it was genius. Unfortunately, the rest of us non-millionaires will always have to deal with one or two guests who dress badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185742 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:45:20 +0000 Alivoo01 185742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cargo shorts and spaghetti strap tanktop?! YIKES!!! </p> <p>Wearing a white dress to a wedding or something extremely tight and revealing are big no-no's in my book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185738 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:43:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 185738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: yep, the wedding was Friday night at 5pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-never-be-worn-to-a-wedding-minor-vent#post-185737 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:43:40 +0000 heffalump 185737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree no matter how casual ill at least have a Sundress on. Did they write what people should wear on the invite? </p>
