    Hi all,

    Have been invited to my boyfriend's cousin's wedding in July. Secular ceremony and reception in the one hotel. I wanted to wear a specific outfit but am not too sure about colour... It's high waisted, tailored white trousers with a white tailored jacket, a very bold orange silk camisole, orange suede heels and an orange bag. Would the colour blocking make it acceptable? No dress code has been specified on the invitation. Really don't want to/can't afford to buy something new!

    Normally I would say never wear white to a wedding as it is rude to the bride and it makes you look like an attention seeker. However I think your outfit sounds fine, especially as you will have the orange top and that it is trousers, not a dress.

    I disagree with the above poster.

    Orange cami and shoes? So the vast majority of the outfit is white?

    I wouldn't dare turn up to a wedding like that tbh.

    If I was the bride I would be very cross. That is just me though. I think anyone who wears white to a wedding is an attention seeker. Surely you could borrow an outfit? It is what I am doing this summer for a few weddings I have to attend.

    If the bride was your friend and you knew she would be cool with it I'd say go ahead, but it's your boyfriend's cousin's wedding... I'd say play it safe and borrow a dress or wear something you've worn before.

    Would you get away with wearing a different jacket? You would probably take it off straight away anyway if you will be inside all day?Its just the all white look that might cause probs...

    Think I'll change plan and go with a pale dusty pink jacket and camisole with the trousers and nude shoes. Thanks guys!

    I think that sounds much better. I wore a pair of white trousers to a wedding a few years back, but wore it with a dress gold top and accessories - no jacket. I wouldn't have worn a white jacket as I think it's too much white. With weddings, I think it's better to play it safe, especially if you don't know the bride that well.
