As an expert sommelier and brewer, I must say that when it comes to fashion, I am not as knowledgeable as I am about wines and beers. However, I can offer some advice based on general etiquette and personal experiences.
When it comes to attending a wedding, it is important to consider the desires and preferences of the couple getting married. While there may not be strict rules about what colors guests can wear, it is generally considered polite to avoid wearing a dress that could be mistaken for white. This is because wearing white is traditionally reserved for the bride, and wearing a color too close to white could potentially overshadow her on her special day.
One such color to be cautious of is champagne. While it may not be exactly white, it is a shade that can easily be mistaken for it, especially in certain lighting conditions. Therefore, I would personally advise against wearing a champagne-colored dress to a wedding.
Instead, it would be best to choose a dress in a different hue. There are so many options available, from vibrant colors to pastels, that steering clear of champagne or any super light shade should not be a major issue. Opt for colors that are clearly distinct from white, such as blues, pinks, greens, or even bold prints. This way, you can still look stylish and elegant without potentially causing any confusion or offense.
It's worth noting that my advice is not based on any specific dress code rules, but rather on the general consensus of wedding etiquette. Of course, there may be exceptions or cultural differences that should be considered. If you are unsure about the dress code or what would be appropriate, it is always a good idea to reach out to the couple or consult the wedding invitation for any specific guidelines.
While there may not be strict rules about what colors you can wear to a wedding, it is generally best to avoid wearing a dress that could be mistaken for white. Champagne, beige, or any other super light color should be steered clear of, as it is more considerate to let the bride shine on her special day. There are plenty of dress options available in a wide variety of hues, so there is no need to worry about finding a suitable and stylish alternative.
