Is this a no

Veronica, on March 27, 2020 at 11:01 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 28

My husband is in a wedding in October. He will be wearing a tux. The recommended attire for women is a gown or cocktail dress. My husband is the type that he would rather be overdressed than under dressed so I am leaning towards wearing a gown. I was maid of honor in my brother's wedding last year. I am wondering if it would be okay to wear the dress I worn as maid of honor to the wedding or would it be wrong? I have included below a photo of the dress.


Is this a no 1

    In my opinion I think it’s totally fine, it’s a classy, navy dress!

    I would absolutely wear that! It's beautiful and very appropriate for the attire you are describing, and who cares if you already wore it as the MOH in someone else's wedding? I'd say go for it!

    I think it's fine as long as that isn't the dress/color of the dresses the bridesmaids are wearing for this wedding.

    Not sure what their colors are. The tux, tie and vest are black and his dress shirt is white so that isn't helpful in determine what their colors are.

    Do you at least know the style of dress? I only say this because that style of DB dress seems to be pretty popular (they have several necklines) and you don't want to look like you're trying to match the bridal party lol.

    This is beautiful! You can never go wrong with Navy either. Unless of course, her bridesmaids are wearing it.

    I would wear it! personally i told my bridesmaids to find a dress for themselves that they would either want to wear again or is cheap enough where they don't want to wear again aha. so many times as a bridesmaid i know people don't wear those dresses they have to buy anymore so when i allowed them to pick their own, it was with the hopes that it would be a dress they'd want to wear again.

    I totally think that would work! Since it’s not a bright color it’s not “too much”!

    I have no clue what the bridesmaids are wearing. My husband's tux is black and so are the vest and tie. His dress shirt is white so his outfit doesn't really give any clues.

    I personally would find out first. I had several guests ask me what my bridesmaids were wearing, and I didn't mind the question. If your husband is in the wedding, I'm assuming you guys are pretty close. Maybe one of you can just shoot the bride or groom a quick text asking what the bridesmaids are wearing.

    I think it’s perfect for the occasion, and I don’t think you need to ask what the bridesmaids are wearing. That’s a bit over the top.

    The groom was the best man in our wedding. I could text him and ask if he knows. I definitely don't want to look like a bridesmaid which is why I was wondering what they were wearing.

    I think that is great! If they say it’s ok to wear a gown and you know your husband will be extra dressed up as a groomsman, I’d definitely wear a gown to match his level of formality

    Their website says Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses so gowns are definitely acceptable. My biggest concern was that this dress is concerned a bridesmaids dress at David's Bridal so I don't want to look like a bridesmaid, but I feel like any gown could really be a bridesmaids dress. Since his tux, vest, and tie are black any color could really go with it so that doesn't help me know what colors the bridesmaids will be wearing. My husband thought it might be a black and white wedding. Their website is rather plain, but does have a small amount of gold on it so I thought gold might be one of their colors, but who knows. I'd feel kind of awkward texting the groom to ask.

    Knowing him he will have an excuse or say it doesn't matter, but I can definitely ask him. Their save the dates and invitation were black and white so they didn't really give any hints. I also looked at their venue and it is basically all white so I am thinking they might just be going with a black and white wedding.
