June wedding


Posted: Mar 29, 2011

My friend is getting married in June, and I wasn't expecting to get invited and then this weekend she surprised me by saying I was invited....So now i've got no idea what to wear for the wedding. The weddings I've attended have always been in the early spring (as in late winter) or in winter....

Any ideas? TIA

How about a tea length or cocktail length silk dress in shimmering lilac or pale turquoise! Those are beautiful summer colors and perfectly beautiful.

A flowy floral is an idea, bright and summery.

Also, how about a good old little black dress? You've probably got one already. Just get some summer color strapy shoes.

Maybe a V-neck or plunging back, wrap style bodice dress...

I wore a shiny turquoise last year and accessorized with brown shows and tiger eye jewelery. Got a lot of compliments too. Just remember! Don't outstage the bride!!! Have fun!

Depends on the time and location of the wedding. - love weddings

Is it a formal event? Indoors? Evening? Daytime? For a garden type or midday wedding, I'd say something floral or flowing, lightweight fabric would be nice in whatever length you are comfortable wearing. Evening or formal? Then definitely a black or dark cocktail type dress. Do you know any of the details of the ceremony?

We were recently invited to a huge wedding at a cathedral, formal "black tie optional" reception. I've been trolling the local thrift stores looking for something vintage (and inexpensive). We have another wedding invite for June, and that one is a garden type wedding. Since I sew, I will probably dig out my patterns and make something drapey and light.

Wedding QuestionAug 12, 2016
A good friend's granddaughter is getting married. I have been invited to the wedding with no plus 1, just me. I have to drive at least 7 hours to get there. My friend will be sitting at the family table. I will know no one else and will be sitting at a table where I know no one. Wouldn't it have been nicer to let me bring a plus 1, or is that the way things are these days? Just trying to figure out what to do here. P.S. I am single and have been for years. ...

OPINIONS ABOUT WEDDING CAKEJun 30, 2010
My 25 DD is getting married next June.   She does not want to have a receiving line after the mass which is a Catholic ceromony because she said it is awkard.   So intead she would like to have a receving line at the reception where the guests line up and the bride and groom pass out the cake and then thank people for coming. I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days. She has only been to two weddings in her life.   I have not been ...

......did your mom go with you, or help you pick it out? If not your mom, did anyone else go with you? A friend, relative, co-worker, etc. Mine went with me, but sort of as an after-thought. I'd already picked out a hat (not a veil) and needed a dress to match the hat, so she went with me to find a dress. She soooo wanted me to wear a long wedding gown, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a short white gauzy party dress. She made me try on a long gown, and I thought she wa ...

Obama - Wedding Ring, Etc.Apr 24, 2011

In a press conference last week Obama  was not wearing his wedding ring nor was he wearing his watch  When noticed, his staff said his ring was out for repairs.  No reason was given for the missing watch. So it's just  a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing jewelry  during the month of Ramadan Can't possibly be that, because  ...

Now, talking about tacky. This right now is high in my book. The hostess taking the question told her no. What involving we ...

We've decided to use the October 31st date as our 'reception,' and instead of having the actual ceremony on that date, we're turning it into a cele ...

Can't Seem To Part With Mother's 65-year-old Wedding Dress...help...Aug 25, 2015
My sister was cleaning out her attic and found my mother's old wedding dress from 65+ years ago. She asked if I wanted it and I said I at least wanted to look at it. Well I took it, had my daughter try it on for a laugh, but now I don't know what to do with it. It is in bad shape. It's all wrinkled and the lace is crunchy, but the main fabric is a lovely heavy satin (although yellowed and stained). My mother hated it and I sent her a pic of it and she still hates it. She said she ...
