HELP!

ok, what is everyone (who is going) wearing to Chris & Ash's wedding?

how formal is it? how do we balance formal wedding with ceilidh? suits? shirt and trousers? dress? skirt and top? jeans and hiking boots? :)

argh? i have no idea what to wear!!

Any of the above apart from jeans and hiking boots will be fine for the wedding. For the ceilidh, the dress code is "whatever you'll enjoy dancing in" - that could include jeans and hiking boots, though you might feel a little out of place.

If in doubt, consider whether it would shock elderly relatives: if so, don't wear it. But neither of our families are at all posh or image-conscious.

it is so hard to get the balance between wedding formal and suitable for ceilidh. we don't want to be doing a clothing change - although some people might be doing that i guess.

hmmmm. effort! all my wedding outfits are summery ones and i would not want to be walking round edinburgh in march in them!!

oh i am so excited! i can't wait to see you both. it will be top cool.

Depends on how long the day is? I usually go for a clothes change at weddings 'cause I can't stay in a suit for that long and I like drunken dancing at receptions ;-)

[kmazzy]

hmmm. but then you have to CARRY EXTRA CLOTHES.

and that = effort. and drunken likelihood of forgetting to take your smart clothes home with you. (since reception is right after the wedding in this case.)

I am doing a clothing change between the wedding and ceilidh, so certainly everyone else may!

And given that at we'll have people in everything from velvet pantaloons to turqoise fishnets at the ceilidh, wear whatever you want to that. ;)

oooh pantaloons! i am keen to see that! and fishnets. i wonder if i will know the wearers.
