Hi friends .. they often ask me .. for a wedding in the morning can I go with long dress? ... For a wedding in a castle I can go to informal clothing?
Well ... I have always said that the rules must be respected, but a number of circumstances must be taken into account, such as: what are local customs? The place where you get the reception is elegant or not ?, the spouses say what? (Especially the bride), the wedding invitation indicates any preference of color or type of clothing? (Dress code).
The basic rules of what to wear for a wedding look the same as in the grandmother's time. But it's not like, with the passing of time these rules are more open to their own taste. But we must remember that the rules of the etiquette are designed to help you feel comfortable and comfortably in all social situations. It is also a sign of consideration for the spouses and for the event to dress in a respectful and appropriate manner.
But still the doubt and them: how to make a beautiful figure ?. The time of day, the season, the place and the style of the wedding will be a good guide.
Usually if wedding is in the morning a light, pastel or fancy dress of medium length will be fine. For a long time, only the bridesmaids, the wives, the mothers, the bride and groom's sisters and the close friends go to the bride.
