Weddings are joyous occasions filled with love, laughter, and, of course, beautiful floral arrangements. However, dressing appropriately for the big day is just as important as selecting the perfect bouquet. While there’s a lot of advice on what to wear, let’s focus on what not to wear to a wedding to ensure you make the right impression.
And speaking of making the right impression, Chappell’s Florist is here to provide exquisite floral arrangements that set the perfect tone for any wedding celebration!
1. Avoid Wearing White (or Anything Close to It!)
White is traditionally reserved for the bride, and wearing anything too close to this color can be seen as disrespectful. Instead, opt for soft pastels, jewel tones, or floral prints to celebrate the day without stealing the spotlight.
2. Steer Clear of Overly Casual Attire
Unless specifically stated in the invitation, jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers should be avoided. A wedding is a special occasion, and dressing too casually can make you appear disrespectful of the couple’s big day. If you’re unsure, a cocktail dress or a well-tailored suit is always a safe choice.
3. No Loud or Distracting Prints
While florals are a beautiful and classic option, avoid patterns that are too loud, neon colors, or designs that could draw attention away from the couple. Instead, let the flowers be the statement piece—like a stunning bouquet from Chappell’s Florist.

4. Say No to Anything Too Revealing
Weddings bring together family and friends of all ages, so be mindful of your outfit choice. Dresses that are too short, low-cut, or excessively tight may not be appropriate for the setting. Aim for elegant and sophisticated instead.
5. Avoid Wearing Black (Unless It’s a Formal Event)
While black is chic and timeless, some consider it too somber for a joyous occasion. If you do opt for black, balance it with vibrant accessories or a floral corsage from Chappell’s Florist to add a touch of color.
6. Skip Anything Too Flashy
A wedding isn’t the time to debut your most extravagant sequin dress or flashy suit. Save the ultra-glam looks for other occasions and instead choose attire that complements the romantic atmosphere of the event.
7. Don’t Forget the Right Footwear
Uncomfortable shoes can ruin your night! Avoid sky-high heels if you’re not used to them, and consider stylish yet comfortable options. If it’s an outdoor wedding, wedges or flats might be a smarter choice.
