We have a wedding this upcoming weekend and after shopping for 4 hours and having back-ache and sore feet I only found TWO tops!!
I am extreamly fussy when it comes to dressing up and seeing that pg-clothes are everywhere , the pickings were quite slim.
One is a little body-hugging black number that comes up to mid-thigh (wearing black pants underneath) and show off my bump really nice. I actually like this, but I still have to fit it for DH and he has to "sign off" on it. I am also calling friends to hear if they have a nice throw for my shoulders as it's a short-sleeve and this wedding is in the Karoo and it's still darn cold.
The other one is an extreamly classy white top, that in a princess cut and have nice hand-stiched leave-pattern on it. It fits nice and looks real pretty .. but I am not sure if wearing white to another girl's wedding is cool?????
Would you wear a white top to a wedding??? I don't know the bride (hardly knows the groom ... DH's friend) but I still don't want to be the tarty-pg-biatch that wore white, kwim???
LMAO - one of my cousins wore a white suit to my wedding! I do feel that only the bride should wear all white, but a white top should be OK.
Just so long as she isn't getting married in ivory and wanted it to look white, because then you'll show her up for having a non-white dress! But who is going to really notice a white top if you're covering most of it up (say with a jacket because it's cold). And you're not going to be hugging her in the photos by the sound of it either.
I think all the rules for dressing for weddings have gone now. You don't see so many hats these days either. And what with wedding dresses being all crimson and gold and pink (I like white!) then you can't just blanket ban every colour that the dress could be.
Good luck, I hope your DH likes the first dress so there's not a worry for you.
I like white. Not a fan of all white at a wedding as a guest, but a white top should be great! Versatile too. With a pretty skirt, and even a nice scarf/wrap/shawl/whatever, and some colourful accessories, and it's won't seem too stark or bridal at all.
LOL Rhyn .. I had a girl that wore a off-white suit to my wedding!!! Actaully, funny story, she was my then-boss's daughter, went to school with her - did not like her, did not like her at all and did not invite her, but she came with the guy who is getting married this weekend!!!
I hope DH like the black one too I would just LOVE the oppertunity to show off my bump.
I know rules regarding wedding have changed so much, but I am still one that thinks, even if the bride is in all the colours of the rainbow, that white it a bride-only thing.
I'll play pg-model for DH tonight and hear what he thinks
LOL, I'm kinda relaxed about this sort of thing.......whatever takes your fancy I reckon. But hey, I got married in red, so who's going to listen to me? :P
Janie .. I almost got married in deep wine-red. Got cold feet in the last month, because DH made an off-hand comment about brides in colour and how he is looking forward to see me in my WHITE dress and it bugged me for like 3 dreams in a row and I phoned the ppl I was hiring my dress with and said "STOP!!!!!! Make it WHITE!!!!!!! " Lucky for me they had the exact same dress already made in virgin-white as if (lucky my size), so I just changed my order ... pheww!
