Casual courthouse wedding attire as a guest?

Mrs. F-u-..., on October 14, 2014 at 11:47 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

I got a text last night from a really good friend (and previous ex-bf, but we have a totally cool friendship) that him and his lady are getting married today at 5 PM at a local courthouse! What do I wear?!?! I'm thinking maxi dress and cute sandals? They are really laid back people and it's just a casual thing so it doesn't matter what I wear but I'm female so it's a natural thing to have a dilemma on what to wear, hahaha.

Back story: this is a guy I dated for 8 months 4-5 years ago that we ended basically just being best friends. He emotionally shut down when feelings got involved and he never let his walls down. It's a HUGE deal for him to be getting married. I can not express how excited I am for them!!! He would never let himself get attached to anyone after a divorce years ago and I'm so happy he is letting himself be happy!!!

    I would say court attire...maybe a work appropriate dress, like a shift dress, or something.

    I'd agree with Lara - better a bit overdressed than under. I'd wear something I'd wear to work.

    One couple i know wore a suit and wedding dress to their courthouse wedding ,and another wore a regular suit and a red dress. Just because they're not doing a traditionally "formal" wedding doesn't mean the wedding is not a special occasion.

    Agreed, I would go the more "business casual" route than maxi and sandals. Simple day dress or skirt and blouse.

    95% chance the groom will be in jeans. I don't think they are dressing up at all. They are very casual people. I'll play it safe and wear a dress and heels - I would rather ovedress for it. Plus, it's what I have most of in my closet. :-)
