We’ve already given the you the 411 on wedding dress codes so you know what to wear when you get your invitation. But are you aware of what NOT to wear? Here are several unspoken wedding dress code rules that everyone should be aware of. Break one of these and you might find a few stares come your way. So to be safe, take precaution when picking out your attire for your next wedding.

Rule number one–and the most important one, too! Reserve this color for the bride. It’s her Big Day. Let’s keep her in the spotlight.

 

(2) Don’t wear red.

Chinese brides also usually wear red at the reception. It would be best to also keep this special color for her second look for her and her alone. Allow her to shine in this lucky color.

 

(3) Stray away from bold and bright colors.

Social media has changed the landscape of communication, even in the wedding industry. Some changes are for the better, while others have created a gray area for what is polite and proper. To remind everyone of wedding etiquette that should still win over social media, here’s a list of some social media do’s and don’ts couples should take note of.

Do’s

Do ask your girl friends to be your bridesmaids personally.

It’s a big role to take on, so asking in a memorable and fun manner will make the role all the more meaningful for you and your gals.

 

Do send formal invitations.

You can have e-invites and social media save-the-date posters, but you should still send out formal invitations. Weddings are formal events and sending out proper invitations reflects the respect that such a monumental event deserves.

Lastly, and most noteworthy, we see Emma and Matthew exchanging their vows against a floral arch, accompanied by loved ones, and with an exquisite wedding cake–what’s not to love? Scroll away, lovelies for more!
