Clothing for weddings tends to be very traditional and if you are part of the bridal party then it is very much the bride and grooms decision as to what you will need to wear. However, most guests are left to choose whatever they like. It is important to make sure that you are wearing something appropriate and this may not be as easy as it sounds. Although there are standard wedding clothes, depending on the venue, the time of day and the class of the family the attire will be different. In some weddings all men wear tails, whereas in some just the bridal party do or men just wear standard suits. The women have a similar problem with some weddings needing designer wear whereas others require something far less formal.
Sometimes women are required to wear hats and other times they are not. The best thing to do is to speak to the bride or her parents about what they expect their guests to be wearing so that you can get or hire something appropriate. You may feel that you should not have to follow their requirements but you may feel out of place if you do not fit in with the rest of the guests.
