Never wear white or anything almost all white, because it competes with the bride. Don’t worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can’t possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.

Never wear jeans or anything too sexy or revealing to a wedding. It’s rude and uncalled for!

Obviously there are exceptions to everything but this is a good idea deciding how to dress for a wedding.
