Back in the day
(20 yrs ago), clothing etiquette was not something that needed to be discussed
for events and weddings, however, more and more as we as a nation become more
casual the rules seemed to have blurred a lot.
Please be aware that at no time for a wedding is excessive cleavage any
of your bits and pieces showing ok for guests or staff. So here is the honest
truth and what you need to be aware of based upon the time of day and what the
invitation says.
Any event or
wedding after 6 pm is formal / black tie, regardless of it being a vintage or
country theme unless stated otherwise on the invitation. If it is not written on the invitation or
RSVP and you’re not sure ask the person hosting the occasion if you’re still
unsure.
Any event or
wedding mid-day is semi-formal. What
does that mean? Lace & sequins are
not needed, but you should be in at least a cocktail length dress or skirt and
a little shine. A jacket is not
required, but a tie is.
An event or
wedding in the morning is casual. If
you’re American, casual does not need any explanation.
