All people what colors to wear?

Ashlynn, on January 22, 2025 at 12:37 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
Is it alright to ask people what colors to wear, like tell them the attire is silver or purple? Not if they don't wear it then they can't come, but just a preference. It is an Epilepsy Warrior themed wedding.

    Are you asking people to donate to Epilepsy foundations in lieu of gifts? If not, then I think their attendance at your wedding is showing solidarity to your love and life. Also, those colors are not found commonly on men (or women) in formal occasions. If you still want something to unite people you can buy everyone fabric pins in those colors, or just use that color theme in your decor.

    Yes, you may say that those colors are encouraged.

    It would seem counter-productive to have people wear atypical colored outfits if they have to buy those outfits for just that wedding event. It seems better to dress as they normally would for the wedding venue. Even a collection for an important group would seem too much. Something a little less could work. Maybe have a little sign saying: A little welcome to our Epilepsy Warrior guests. If people ask about donating, someone could share more details. Part of this is that guests should be able to enjoy this as just the wedding celebration.

    Hi Ashlynn,


    I did! I would just recommend either on an info card or your website, or both, include a color palette or mood board that you wish for your guests to wear. Honestly whenever I go to weddings it’s super helpful to have guide on what colors to wear & avoid! Everyone is super excited about my color palette & mood board! Of course they’re just suggestions & are no way required, just mainly for my friends and family to have fun!

    No, I don't think you should be dictated the colors your guests wear to your wedding. They won't props.

    It might be okay to say that a bit of purple and/or silver would be appreciated if practical.
