When considering what color of clothes to wear to a wedding, just follow the principle: avoid wearing all black, red, and white.
Because red and white are the colors of the bride on the wedding day, wearing them can be a bit eye-catching. Wearing black clothes to attend occasions is generally considered a funeral in traditional Chinese culture, so it should also be avoided. All colors are suitable except for black, red, and white. However, in terms of color selection, the focus is on being calm and low-key, and dark or soft colored clothing is very good.
1. Avoid black, red, and white
In people's minds, white and red are the exclusive colors of the bride, and wearing black at the wedding can cause associations of bad luck, so these three colors should be avoided.
But if you want to wear black, red, and white clothes, to avoid appearing in large areas, you can choose to cleverly apply them in a small range, or choose to wear items that are embellished with other colors, plus ACCESSORIES of other colors.
2. Clothes should not be too revealing or sexy
On such a grand and solemn wedding occasion, DRESSing too revealing and sexy is not advisable. Generally, many elders attend weddings, and overly sexy and revealing styles not only steal the limelight, but also are very inappropriate.

3. Clothes should not be too casual
A wedding is a formal occasion, and dressing casually is impolite. When the newlyweds invite you to the wedding, they definitely hope to receive your attention, so you need to dress decently and have the right balance.
4. Avoid dress styles similar to those of brides and bridesmaids
At a wedding, the bride is the main character, and clothing styles that are too similar to the bride's can be overwhelming. Try to avoid large areas of lace, satin, and clothing similar to wedding dresses.
5. Color selection
It is recommended to choose a more elegant light color scheme, such as smoky gray blue, gray purple, rubber powder, light green, bean paste powder, gray, milky white, etc., which will make people look graceful and elegant. It is not recommended to choose colors that are too bright.
As a guest, it is important to dress low-key and appropriately at the wedding, as the wedding is the main venue for the newlyweds and an important ceremonial occasion in their lives. It is not advisable to be too flashy or eye-catching.
