meaning of wedding dress colors\nhttp://www.weddinggazette.com/content/004568.shtml\n\nWedding Dresses of Different colors: A Bit of Folklore\nAs with many other things in life, there is much folklore and legend surrounding the various other colors that brides have been known to wed in. One old rhyme seems to sum up these notions:\n\nMarried in white, you have chosen all right.\nMarried in green, ashamed to be seen.\nMarried in red, you will wish yourself dead.\nMarried in blue, you will always be true.\nMarried in yellow, ashamed of your fellow.\nMarried in black, you will wish yourself back.\nMarried in pink, your spirits will sink.

Ask around the other family that are going to see if there is a theme if not just wear something nice (not white or ivory to clash with the bride).

I went shopping with my bridesmaids and we all decided on a dress together so they were buying dresses that they knew they could use again. I chose the colour and they chose the design. Because it was an Aussie Summer Wedding they all chose a knee length summery dress. I bought them all earrings and necklaces as pressies and they looked so beautiful. Don't be afraid to do something different!

Burgundy is a great color.  Since this is a summer wedding I would have the rest of the colors fairly light.  Ivory, White, Pale Pink, Peach.  \n\nMy best suggestion is go to your florist and look at the selection of wedding arrangements.  You'll want to look at them in person so you can see true color and pick up items and compare.  That is how I chose my wedding colors.  I found a beautiful bouquet that I fell in love with and my wedding was those colors.  White Roses, Lilies, Blue Delphinium, and Pale Green Bells of Ireland.  Hence my colors were Bright Blue, Green, and white.  It turned out absolutely gorgeous.  And until I saw the flowers with the colors all prettily arranged I was stuck for chosing colors.  By going to the florist you can kill two birds with one stone.  Chose the colors and the flowers all at once.  It really worked for me and saved me a huge headache.

The Wedding Ensemble\n\nOnce the bride chose her wedding day, a prerogative conferred upon her by the groom, she could begin planning her trousseau, the most important item of which was her wedding dress.\n\nBrides have not always worn white for the marriage ceremony. In the 16th and 17th centuries for example, girls in their teens married in pale green, a sign of fertility. A mature girl in her twenties wore a brown dress, and older women even wore black. From early Saxon times to the 18th century, only poorer brides came to their wedding dressed in white--a public statement that she brought nothing with her to the marriage. Other brides wore their Sunday best.\n\nColor of the gown was thought to influence one's future life.\n\nWhite--chosen right\nBlue--love will be true\nYellow--ashamed of her fellow\nRed--wish herself dead\nBlack--wish herself back\nGrey--travel far away\nPink--of you he'll always think\nGreen-ashamed to be seen\n\nEver since Queen Victoria wed in 1840, however, white has remained the traditional color for wedding gowns and bouquets. A woman then used her dress for Court Presentation after marriage, usually with a different bodice.

one dress the whole wedding / reception .... find out what color his tie will be and go with a dress in that color or you can wear any winter color ... try and stay away from black and definitely stay away from white .... but look nice and knock his socks off ...taking you to the wedding is a huge deal for him and your relationship!!

Not white: (symbolic of death in China).  Wear a neutral color.  Better yet, tell your secretary, "Thank you for inviting me to your wedding.  I am very honored & I will attend."  Then ask your secretary, "I'm not sure what to wear to a wedding. Would it be appropriate to wear a black suit, or a navy suit?"  This should get a response on how formal the wedding is, too.  I doubt you could go "business casual" (polo shirt & pants) but I could be wrong. She shouldn't be offended at your saying this, but rather flattered that you care how you present yourself to her life-changing event.

I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for, but what I can tell you is that he shouldn't be seeing the dress anyways until the wedding day.  The dress is for you to pick out, not him.  My hubby didn't see my dress till i walked in the chapel that day.  If you don't want an actual wedding dress then you have lots of options.  I looked at prom dresses for my wedding day because I didn't want to spend a fortune and there was a ton of beautiful dresses.  I ended up getting a wedding dress anyways, but there were still a lot of good dresses.  Try going to a bridal shop and looking at the brides maids options.  There might be a style there that you like and you can choose from lots of colors.  Hope this helps and best of luck to you.

It would be a little atypical to wear black to a wedding - but certainly not "disrespectful" or "bad luck." Wear whatever you want, that's what I say.

It's your wedding - 20 years ago those things mattered more.  Now you can wear whatever you want.
