Wedding attire questions
Brias3 wrote: Bruce and I are set to go to a wedding next week and a combination of lack of time and effort on my behalf leaves me looking through my closet for something to wear, since I didn't bother to pick up a dress recently.
I think I've decided on a simple black and white floral patterned halter dress that's really nice....are these colors appropriate for a June wedding?
Also, is it necessary for couples to always match? This particular dress is more difficult to match for Bruce without him looking tux-ish, you know?
Help! What should we wear? 
Mommy2Isabella replied: I would say those colors are better for a winter wedding.
We just went to a wedding and there were a couple people in black and such, so it isn't unappropriate.
We were light springy colors, sal wore a blue button up shirt with some nice dress pants, and bella and myself, wore yellow dresses
luvmykids replied: I think the fact that it's a halter and a floral pattern make it springy/summery. And I never even thought of couples matching, I don't think we ever have
Twelve Volt Man replied:
I'd say no on the matching thing, unless your husband is one of the few guys who can really pull off wearing a dress.
CantWait replied:
LOL
I think the floral pattern and halter is suitable for a spring wedding. Icks Nah on the matching outfits though.

That was EXACTLY what I was going to say. Never have I thought of matching with DH, ever. And halter dress speaks spring/summer IMO. Have fun! I think B&W is classic!
kimberley replied:
 ur funny!
never heard of couples matching unless they are in the wedding party. i think the dress sounds great 
MommyToAshley replied: I think the dress sounds pretty and perfect for a summer wedding. I have never matched my DH either, so I wouldn't worry about that.
Have fun at the wedding!
Brias3 replied: Great! Thanks all!
I only suggested the matching thing because I looked up the question on Yahoo answers and it led me to a link on proper attire, which said that couples should always match!  I never have paid attention to it either but thought I was maybe out of the loop 
Brias3 replied:
Hmm....maybe I should reconsider. Last time, he wasn't happy when I tried to make him wear a dress
Twelve Volt Man replied:
Give it another try. Perhaps he just wasn't feeling sexy that day.
msoulz replied: I think your attendance is likely more important than your dress which, by the way, sounds lovely. KWIM?
coasterqueen replied: Bria,
DH is in a wedding in a few weeks and he'll be wearing a black tux with navy blue accent. I will be wearing a simple black and white floral halter dress, myself.  I wonder if we have the same dress.?. 
I'm big into both of us matching, too, but I've given up in this event just because I didn't want to wear something navy and blend in with the rest of the wedding party. 
I think you'll look great with what you have planned.
coasterqueen replied: OMG, am I the only one that likes to match with my DH? Wow, I thought everyone did that. I drives me batty when we don't.  
Kaitlin'smom replied: I think the dress is fine, as for matching DH and I like to either match or at leat coordinate, if I were to wear that type of dress he woudl most likly wear balck pants and a white shirt, and depeing on the event or time of year which sirt and either a tie or black suade vest.
