Just my two cents - I'd definitely avoid wearing cream or even a very light beige to a wedding! It's too close to white and could be considered a serious breach of wedding etiquette.
Yes! It's not just white wedding guest should avoid. It's also ecru/ cream. Not every bride wants to wear pure white dress because she can not look good in it.
True, and where I live, everyone seems to wear black, which can seem a bit grim for a wedding.
Really don’t get people’s need to dress in anything that could look as white in a photo anywhere near a bride. Including silver and light gold!! I knew a mother of the groom that wore silver to her son’s wedding. It was so awful. They are literally so many other colors.
I would add,depending on the venue,consider chunkier heels/flats- its never a good look sinking into the turf even if your shoes are gorgeous
Good point! Although you can get those clear heel caps for the grass which work well.
It’s also not classy taking off your shoes at a wedding, so choose comfortable shoes to survive the day!
Naturalizer does some great (and comfy) dressy wedges.
Loved these examples, for me it's always a bit tricky to find a dress that is elegant enough but not too prom-y and also doesn't look like a bridesmaid's dress :))
I have this problem too. It can be especially difficult as a petite woman to find something that makes me look like an adult rather than a teenager going to prom.
Or isn't black!
Lots of good advice here. I once observed a wedding party at a hotel I was staying at. The woman who stood out (in a sea of sorbet colours and prints and big hats) wore a dark blue skirt suit. The jacket was not the corporate blazer style we see all the time now, but a slim-fitting 1950's style jacket that came in at the waist. She wore no hat and her only decoration was a white carnation buttonhole. Absolute class.
I think the hats nowadays are appropriate only for royal weddings 😂
@user-im3os5xf8i Sometimes, they suit the outfit, the venue, or occasion. Things have become so casual that people will actually glare at those who don't conform.
@@user-im3os5xf8i I don't agree. I don't love fascinators. To me, they often look cheap and are worn badly. A beautiful hat can complete an outfit, and look very elegant
@@jacqueline8559 True, yet they can be hot and ruin your hair. Then they have to come off at 5 pm so we are left with a mess.
Yes, neutrals and muted tones tend to be particularly elegant, and bright colours can look garish and cheap, depending on the fabric. However, bright coloured, high-quality garments may really suit the joyous spirit of a wedding. I find that my colour choice depends on the season and the location. Whenever the sun shines brightly and/or I spend time in Mediterranean countries, I am drawn to bright colours. Sometimes, neutrals and muted colours actually depress me.
Not to mention they don't suit everyone. Some people need brighter colors because they compliment their skintone better than muted ones.
Absolutely agree!
Depending on the cultural background of the wedding parties, S and E Asians would probably prefer brighter colours. Black may be frowned upon.
What outstanding suggestions! I couldn’t agree more with each of them. The older one gets, the more difficult it becomes to find appropriate wedding attire since it is usually young people getting married and their friends attending. It can be tricky to appear sophisticated!
Omg, I just started searching for smth to wear to my sister’s wedding and this video comes out at the same moment :) Thanks so much!
This is great! Thank you! I also really appreciate how you started your video right away without saying “let’s get on with it.” That line (or one like it) slows the flow of your video. Todays was perfect!
I love that several of your suggestions are actually appropriate for a church wedding!
Lydia!! I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now… thank you for this new year of videos that are like this! Your advice is supreme and timeless ❤I love how your not doing a bunch of hauls, keeping them rare and classic! ❤you go girl!!!! From USA 🇺🇸
Love love love. Brilliant....so insightful....thank you Lydia!!!
I love florals for daytime, bright colors in satin or velvet for evening look beautiful on my dark skin. Huge fan of ruffles and draping and anything romantic for a wedding. I usually wear modest silhouettes, so fancy occasions are my favorite for puffy/swishy/girly cupcake silhouettes 😍
Thank you sooo much, this video is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! Attending a wedding this June, got the dress, shoes, and bag, but I’m unsure on the fascinator that’s in my cart. Being super petite at 4’11” I want my outfit to look cohesive because of my size but not too matchy-matchy. Been referring to my Pinterest boards for inspiration but you just gave me the final word on the hat. Btw, this format with pictures on the side totally rocks! And, Lydia, Elegance is your name and sophistication is your game. Thanks again!
Overall great tips! You've reminded me how much I love wearing a combination of all shades blue and brown.
Any advice for mother of the bride outfits, I don’t want to look matronly
Great video! Excellent tips. Plus, I have hair-envy. Your locks are truly gorgeous.
Perfect timing! I’m looking for a guest outfit for a wedding now.
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulux* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Great tips as always! Love this!
I was just panicking about a May wedding I’m going to attend and this video popped out! Thank you si much for all the tips
I love your style. I wonder if you would consider doing a one off for over 50:60 .
Obsessed with your hairstyle! Need a hair tutorial 😍
I love your videos! The weddings that I have attended in the Northeast US (I am in my 60's) have almost always had a band or DJ at the reception. I always wear a sleeveless dress since I spend most of the time on the dance floor :)
Love this very useful content! Thank you!
Such a good video great tips!
The blue and brown outfit was my favourite!
Another stunning video!!! May I ask what brand is your blue Shirt, pls? Love it
Thank you! It’s very helpful!
I always learn from you! I tell my daughter all the time that 'my stylist" (you) recommends ....... She laughs but she know exactly who I'm referring to (you) hahahaha....Thank you!
Excellent choices and advice ❤
You did an outstanding job of providing beautiful ideas for wedding guest outfits. I love the blue and brown and the sophisticated dress options. Could I wear a linen suit for a summer wedding? Are there any wedding plans in your future?
Thanks Lydia, I am going to a wedding in September which is Spring in Australia. So your tips are excellent. I have to watch the shoes as I am in my 70s! But still want stylish. Will go for a kitten or block heel.
A great theme. Thank you
Hi Lydia! Thanks for the tips! Great timing! Can you suggest some ideas for hot and humid weather? And how to cover up a strappy dress besides using a shawl or scarf?
Yes, I Loved this Video.😊💝💝💝
Lovely 😍😍😍 I would like date night and not so special “special” occasions outfit ideas, because sometimes I feel, like you said, that I wear the same clothes that I wear for work to have drinks with friends 🙄 On weekends I want to feel special ❤ Big hug to you from A Coruña, Spain 🤗🤗🤗
Just what I needeed❤🎉
In my culture you have to look like you’re ready for a fancy red carpet 😂
And that's ok. Although, personaly glamorous and glitzy looks are not my cup of tea, I found British wedding fashion incredibly frumpy.

The same in my culture (South American). 😅
I was hoping for tips what to wear out of our existing wardrobe. A video consisting of outfits built out of clothes you've recommended over the years in your past videos on other subjects would have been nice. I can think of a few I've seen on your channel which would be lovely at a wedding just from the top of my head.
This has been the best fashion vlog I have ever watched. Thank you. I have a wedding in Tuscany, next Autumn 😊
The green short dress option really looks like something Blair Waldorf would wear and I love it
This was really helpful 😊 we don’t typically wear hats here in Canada but love that the Brit’s do! H
Good video. I love the blue shirt with the extended point collar. Where did you buy it?
Hi Lydia, sorry I am a novice regarding UA-cam. My questions aren’t wedding related I’m afraid so forgive me for that. However I have come across one of your videos where you are wearing some beautiful white pants. It’s a shorts video from 7 months ago. (3 major shifts in fashion trends) I love those trousers.😊 Could you possibly inform me as to where you purchased them from please.
Also I am after a classy white shirt. I wondered if you could recommend a good retailer for me.
I have subscribed.
Thank you 🇬🇧
Omg Lydia you nailed it with jumpsuits 🙈 I wore a beautiful Navy one to a really elevated evening and got into the WC and realised I had to struggle with the Zipper down and then up again 🙈 had to come out and ask another lady to unzip me to use bathroom so embarrassing. Hubby zipped me in at home so hadn’t thought it through never bought another one and it’s in my wardrobe to date cost a fortune looks stunning on but not practical at all 💕
Who Is Olivia?😂
@@user-im3os5xf8ithanks for your kindness. I’ve just had 12day in hospital with pneumonia, weak and 10kgs less in body weight now 45kgs. My only relief from pain and constant coughing was to enjoy my fashion! I apologise to Lydia for my accidental name mixup my body might be sick but at least my heart is still kind/ not sick and I dint spend my time trying to pick faults with others comments 🙏

I have a wedding to attend on the beginning of May, and I don't like buying stuff to wear them once. You have inspired me with navy blouse and brown skirt
I love not matching shoes or bags with hat or jacket it gives you more scope for being inividual and shopping in your own wardrobe...i have a beautifull 80s silk shirt im wearing at the mo.....great advice xxx
Wonderful guidelines but hope you don't mind me adding another; if there is a possibility you will be in a photo with a bride who is wearing white do not choose a very light shade in a garment as it can read as a white depending upon environment, whether the photos will be in black and white rather color etc.
I really love all your suggestions. Will you do a Visio for much older women for wedding clothes.
Dear Ms Lydia,
You are an angel...your tips are practical, realistic, elegant and....attractive!
Thank you, thank you for including the " renting " idea; so sustainable and helpful...against over-consumerism !!!
Your video is fantastic; your aim is attained! So helpful!!
I am so eager to see...others of the same manner! :))
Thank you!
helene :)
We need a guide for BRIDES as well please ❤❤❤
What type of shoes would you wear for the black dot dress?
White dress outfit is only reservations for bride lol in most of countries
Lydia, which brand is this blue shirt you wore from ?
Such a good video
That is so interesting to me that Brits actually wear these kind of hats, I always thought it’s queen Elizabeth’s style and that’s it 😄 I also don’t find 98% of prints to be dressy enough for a wedding.
I’d say nowadays for most weddings it’s usually only the mother of the bride or older family members that wear a hat x
Love your make-up ❤ tutorial please?❤
I think that the venue & the vibe of the event will be what determines what you should wear. In California we do a lot of vineyard & outdoor weddings so you’d definitely want to pass on the stilettos.
🤤 love the pink suit look!!!!!!!
You look like Krystle Carrington from Dynasty 😉 Who remember that movie? 😁
Bonjour Lydia
Cette vidéo Tip est intéressante toutefois je préfère de très loin les vidéo où c’est vous qui faites la modèle pour les vêtements, les accessoires car c’est autrement plus parlant et le rendu global plus attractif.
Nous vous souhaitons un excellent Week-ends de France 🇫🇷
Where I live ( a rather rural area of the U.S.) I've been to weddings where the bride has spent a fortune on her dress, the groom has a stunning tuxedo and yet many of the guests have come wearing jeans and t-shirts or cargo shorts and tank tops! (No I'm not kidding!) When I attend a wedding I try to look chic but not stand out in the crowd....Unfortunately, I often do stand out because I'm one of the few that have dressed appropriately for a wedding! LOVED your video 🥰🥰 I have a wedding to attend this summer...these tips will come in handy.
Wow, that sounds depressing.
I have also seen people show up like that at funerals, which I find particularly disrespectful.
Please do a video on how you do your hair
Hi am going to a wedding at the green cathedral in nederlands basicly its outside in a forest!! So exciting...thinking of wearing a longer smart fawn mac with a colourfull dress with applied flowers. ...? No hat xxxxx
I remember buying a mint green structured lace dress - pride and prejudice lol - but it was not comfortable and I did not feel like 'me' in it. So the last wedding I wore a peachy satin midi dress from Ghost, and I reiss White Blazer, slightly oversized and LOVED it!
I love your blue shirt ! Where is it from?
Great video!!🩷 You also have to consider where you live..for instance, Miami, Florida vs England, UK?
cracking video Lydia
What do you suggest for those of use who look ill in pastels/muted/earth tones?
I think what I meant more was natural colours (things like greens, blues) rather than things that feel a little bit brash like purples and pinks together. Or if you want to wear a colour then go for the block colour rather than pattered - I think any colour works for that!
John Lewis does rental. Clothing bags accessories.
Even if already stated, ladies, never wear white, cream, ivory or beige to a wedding. You'll only embarrass the bride and yourselves unless it is the mandated theme.
I Agree especially a coat noooo . You don't wanna take attention from the bride!
Can you do a video on how you did your hair in this video?
Can we get a tutorial for that hair?! 🔥🔥🔥
Oh yes! What should I wear for a civil wedding?????
Something more tailored, perhaps an elegant suit with dressier accessories?
Is there a link for the outfits she suggested?
Thanks for the tips.I'm attending a formal wedding next May and I am wondering about a golden (simple and not too bright) dress by the knee, no sleeves ... or would it be nice by the ankle ... Do tou think it would fit for the church and party too? Please, give me your opinion. Thanks❤
Wear a blazer or jacket over the top if you’re worried about needing to be modest for the church but then take it off for the after party
I am a witness at my brothers wedding in May and bloody hell trying to find something is hard. I just hate most of these type of event dresses. 😷 And I also don´t like spending money on clothing I´ll likely wear once, but I also don´t like to spend money on bad fabrics..
❤
If I saw some one wearing one of those headbands I would be thinking 😳🤣😂
First❤
Can you style silver shoes several ways, please.
I think maybe steer clear of strapless tops or anything too revealing on the top if it’s a church wedding. Keep it respectful.x
Prints make me feel elderly, too girly, and awkward. I love edgy. I think others looks beautiful in prints.
DON"T wear solid ivory to a wedding. it looks TOO MUCH like white. ALSO many brides wear ivory/cream!
So cute how people in the UK wear hats to events 😛
😍😍😍💥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video. You didn't talk about showing skin. How much, where, and where not? Advice from a mother of the bride: It's a good rule of thumb to show only one area of skin. Either show your shoulders or arms or chest or back. Or a covered up top with exposed leg (depends on wedding formality). Not more than one (maybe two) areas of skin, or you'll take away the bride's spot light. Also, wear comfortable shoes you can dance in. I've seen girls get barefoot on the dance floor, then someone drops their champagne glass, and you can guess what happens next...... Unless you're on a beach or grassy lawn, keep your shoes on. Also be respectful of religious decorum. If the ceremony is in a place of worship, bring a wrap for any exposed shoulders, arms or back.
Omg, I only look for jumpsuits when I look for a wedding guest outfit 🙈
I also ALWAYS look for a print because of the risk of wearing the same colour as the bridesmaids 😂
If you feel comfortable in one, IMO go for it!
Great video. 🌸
Too floaty should be spelled with double o, I believe. “TOO”
Haha oooops that’s my biggest bug bear as well 🤣 but it’s too late to change it! So annoying 😂
One thing to remember when choosing a hat: proportion is very height-dependant. Tall women look great with a wide brimmed hat. Shorter women can rock a daintier version. The reverse can look ridiculous.
Instead of renting a dress (and a matching coat) I would buy one second hand and sell it after wedding season.
What?? No purple?? This is the life!
I can get behind most of your tips but colour and pattern(size) are very much dependent on the person and culture as well. Some people don’t look good in muted colours even less so in an earthy palette. Same goes for bigger or smaller patterns.
If we’re assuming a traditional white wedding I would suggest to stay away from any solid pale colour that could be confused with white, when overexposed to light. Also don’t wear something too dark because most men will probably be in a suit and if the ladies wear black, navy, charcoal gray and forest green the pictures might look a bit dull and moody😅 or if they print them in black and white it might look like a funeral.
I would never go for a suit to a wedding, way to formal office~y vibe
I wouldn’t wear a green crushed velvet suit to work
It does not matter what you wear as long as you attend!!! 😮❤
Love your channel Lydia!
p.s. sorry - that make up is making you look older than you are Lydia...
I'm not into jumpsuits either. not comfortable 😕
euhh personnellemznt j adore les robes fleuries et colorées et pas seulement pour un mariage .
Must be cold where she is in the summer . No one is wearing a jacket blazer full on coat in summer in most of the US
