Hi.... I'm new here, I'm not getting married anytime soon but I will be attending a wedding early next month. I have a bit of an interesting situation as I've been invited to an "odd" wedding and I really have to attend.
The couple is sort of redneckish and if youve ever heard of the "trash the dress" idea, well they are applying that to the wedding itself. After dinner is served there will be dancing in the mud and then a mud race.... No im not kidding, thats what they want.
As a person attending this im wondering what to wear? Because the bride set the dress code for guests as basically as formal or casual as you want, but she will be wearing a very nice dress and the bridesmaids will be wearing nice dresses as well....so i dont think it would be appropriate not to wear a dress myself.. although obviously it will be ruined by the end of it. What do you guys think? Do you think a dress from a more casual clothing store l ike forever21 would be appropriate? And any idea about shoes, usually I would think heels or nice flats would be appropriate, any recommendations on where to find nice, dressy ones that are not too expensive?
She is family and ill admit it sounds like fun and i respect the idea, its a rebellion against the more uptight, ridiculously expensive weddings that everyone seems to have (not to offend anyone here! I personally want a big fancy wedding myself, but I can see why others would not.)
Thanks for any advice/thoughts! I know this is a bit of an odd question haha.
