There are some members of the<strong> LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> community <\/strong>who still face both covert and overt discrimination and harassment in many aspects of their lives. Some, for example, are required to jump over administrative hurdles that no other members of the general population have to jump, in order to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/\">get married<\/a> \u2013 eg to provide evidence of their identity that entails them needing to provide a statutory declaration, signed by a medical professional, that they have had gender-affirming surgery, if they are trans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_72486\"  width=\"980\" height=\"551\"  data-origwidth=\"980\" data-origheight=\"551\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jSiQBCaV1ic?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And, whilst there are those who say that <strong>weddings are just weddings<\/strong>, I say this: the wedding industry, and the institution of marriage, have been constructed over decades on the assumption that those <strong>getting married<\/strong> are straight. No issue there. That was the law. And so, of course, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/31\/your-guide-to-being-the-perfect-wedding-guest\/\">traditions and rituals around weddings<\/a> and marriage have been heteronormative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u2013 and here\u2019s the thing &#8211; most <strong>LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> couples<\/strong> don\u2019t live their lives in gender-based roles. Hence, lots of those <strong>gender-based traditions and rituals<\/strong> have little meaning or relevance to us as couples. Why on earth would we want to simply adopt straight rituals and traditions on the day that is arguably one of the most important days of our lives? Why would we slavishly want a <strong>straight wedding<\/strong>, rather than thinking about how could we make our wedding reflect who we really are?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cis het people don\u2019t get to tell members of the LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> community that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/19\/the-ultimate-checklist-on-how-to-prepare-a-gay-wedding\/\">wedding is simply a wedding<\/a>! It\u2019s up to us members of the rainbow community to decide the style and vibe we want for our wedding. And it certainly doesn\u2019t have to look or feel anything like a <strong>straight wedding<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> weddings<\/strong> can be different from straight weddings. We wouldn\u2019t think twice if a Jewish couple expected us to acknowledge and respect Jewish rituals and traditions at their wedding \u2013 the same applies to an Italian couple and so on. So, why not, for a couple from the LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> community? There is an LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> language and culture. We can, and should, happily incorporate them into our <strong>weddings<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gay weddings<\/strong>&nbsp;are filled with love like any other wedding on the planet. However, the emotions run particularly high when an LGBTIQ<sup>+<\/sup> couple is finally legally married after fighting for the right to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you haven\u2019t yet been to a&nbsp;<strong>gay wedding<\/strong>. What should you expect, as a guest?

Again, the biggest tip is to choose footwear that you\u2019re going to be comfortable in for the whole day.&nbsp; Are you going to be better off in a nice pair of heels or would you be more comfortable in low heels or no heels? Investing in a&nbsp;<em>good quality shoe<\/em>&nbsp;that pairs well with your attire, is an extremely wise choice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/guest-wedding-shoes.jpeg\" alt=\"guest wedding shoes\" class=\"wp-image-13970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/guest-wedding-shoes.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/guest-wedding-shoes-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/guest-wedding-shoes-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Remember: don\u2019t buy a&nbsp;<em>brand new pair of shoes<\/em>&nbsp;before the&nbsp;<strong>big event<\/strong>, without wearing them in, as you\u2019ll likely be on your feet for a number of hours. You want to be comfortable rather than working out how to discreetly treat your newly-found blisters on your sore feet! You don\u2019t need to spend a fortune on the latest pair of Jimmy Choos or Zegna boots. A great fitting pair of Oxfords, or a nice fitted heel will speak volumes and your feet will thank you. And try to buy something that you know you\u2019ll be able to wear again, rather than just a one-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/09\/10-tips-from-the-experts-for-choosing-your-wedding-shoes\/\">a pair of shoes can make an outfit<\/a>, wearing the&nbsp;<strong>wrong shoes with the outfit<\/strong>&nbsp;is a no-no, too.&nbsp; However, these rules can be broken \u2013 for example, a suit can be dressed down with a canvas belt and a pair of Converse sneakers. Or match your suit with a great pair of loafers that have a no sock look \u2013 you can get invisible appearance socks or at least give your feet a spray with some deodorant to keep them fresh all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessories\"><\/span>Accessories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accessories<\/strong>&nbsp;can just add that little bit extra to your attire at a gay wedding. I remember some&nbsp;<strong>wedding guests&nbsp;<\/strong>just because of the bright yellow clutch they were holding or because of the shiny bow they had paired well with their blue suit. If you\u2019re someone who wants to look their best but doesn\u2019t want to spend a lot, this is your playground.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accessories-1.jpeg\" alt=\"wedding guest accessories\" class=\"wp-image-13972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accessories-1.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accessories-1-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Be smart by investing in any&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/21\/complete-guide-to-boho-wedding-ideas-decorations-accessories\/\">good accessory<\/a>&nbsp;that you can pair differently. It could be an <strong>eye-catching watch, a grea<\/strong>t <strong>bag, a fetching (rainbow?) bow tie, subtle but gorgeous lapel pin, or just classy earrings<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an opportunity to show, in a subtle way, that you are indeed a <strong>strong ally or supporter<\/strong> of the couple getting married. Why not buy and wear a pair of rainbow earrings or earrings in the ally pride colours? Or, if the couple is trans, why not buy and wear a gorgeous lapel pin in the trans colours?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps paint your nails in the relevant colours! It\u2019s easy to do, won\u2019t break the bank, and your couple \u2013 and other guests \u2013 will appreciate those small gestures more than you\u2019ll ever know!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When done right, a <strong>good accessory<\/strong> can be the focus for your entire piece of attire you\u2019re planning on wearing. While men can choose from a fabulous leather bag, a stand-out watch etc, women have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/19\/best-bridal-hair-accessories-hairstyles-flatter-different-face-shapes\/\">many different accessories<\/a>&nbsp;to choose from. It could be a<strong> watch, a hairpin, a clutch or a statement neckpiece<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AttireEnsemble\"><\/span>Attire\/Ensemble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simply ask <\/strong>the couple what they\u2019d like you to wear, if they haven\u2019t already told you. Is it a <strong>formal or informal vibe<\/strong>? What are they asking as a <strong>dress code<\/strong>? Simply go with the vibe they\u2019re seeking to create on that day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Just be yourself. <\/strong>Of course, it\u2019s a happy day for the couple and for everyone invited to the wedding.<strong> <\/strong>For some, it\u2019s a time for healing and it\u2019s a time of great joy. But don\u2019t over-gush. Help them have the best day of their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the <strong>venue or location of the wedding<\/strong> will help inform what you will wear. If the wedding is in a public garden or park or on a beach, then you\u2019re likely to wear different attire than if the wedding is in a reception home, for example.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, <strong>look after yourselves<\/strong>. Make sure you dress comfortably and in attire that suits your personality. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be self-conscious and not comfortable for the duration of the entire ceremony and after-party.&nbsp;Don\u2019t try to keep up with the latest fashion trend, if that just isn\u2019t for you. Buy, hire or wear attire that fits you nicely rather than thinking about what others will expect or think.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Most-Flattering-Wedding-Guest-Dresses.jpeg\" alt=\"wedding attire\" class=\"wp-image-13973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Most-Flattering-Wedding-Guest-Dresses.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Most-Flattering-Wedding-Guest-Dresses-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Most-Flattering-Wedding-Guest-Dresses-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Most-Flattering-Wedding-Guest-Dresses-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If the dress code is&nbsp;<strong>neat casual<\/strong>, then a great pair of Chinos and perhaps a linen jacket with a pair of loafers or again Converse sneakers will work perfectly \u2013 always a comfy look and you will be feeling pretty relaxed all day. The best advice I can give is \u201cdon\u2019t overdo it; be yourself\u201d. You\u2019re the guest. You\u2019ve been invited because you mean something to the couple.

There\u2019s a fine line between being plain bland and being overly dramatic. Perhaps get an indication from a couple of their colour scheme and ask them if they\u2019d prefer you to fit in with it or to wear attire that\u2019s completely different from what they\u2019ll wear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a woman, you can choose to wear a simple &amp; elegant dress or a nicely paired shirt &amp; smart pants.

A tuxedo with tails, a formal white shirt, white vest and bow tie, white or grey gloves, and formal footwear, such as derby shoes or oxfords, are all necessary for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>As a guest, what colour should you avoid wearing to a wedding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You may wear any colour other than black or white. The idea of the guests should be to blend in with the surroundings and let the bride take centre stage. As her guest, you should avoid wearing anything that may be seen as unprofessional or in poor taste. Pastels, jewel tones, and earth tones, as well as most primary colours, are wonderful selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should a woman over 50 wear to a wedding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a skirt and blouse or elegant evening slacks coupled with a sophisticated top are acceptable alternatives at some weddings. A stylish jumpsuit can also be worn. A dress, on the other hand, is an excellent choice for most weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it OK to wear a long gown to a wedding as a guest?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Female attendees are often required to wear a long dress to a more traditional wedding. Instead of wearing the gown, you wore to prom, try something more suited for the evening. If the wedding takes place during the day, a lovely maxi dress should suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it OK to wear bright pink at a wedding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Overly bright colours (such as fire engine red, neon green or yellow, hot pink, and gaudy orange) may be just as terrible because they&#8217;ll stand out in wedding images like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"letreach_post_category\" value=\"Wedding Style\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world is becoming much better and richer for lots of countries that have embraced marriage equality, isn\u2019t it?
