Can I Wear Cream to a Wedding?

Published in Wedding Etiquette 1 min read

The answer depends on the wedding's dress code and your role in the wedding party.

General Wedding Etiquette

  • Formal weddings: Cream is generally considered too casual for formal weddings.
  • Semi-formal weddings: Cream can be appropriate, but it's best to avoid white or ivory.
  • Casual weddings: Cream is usually a safe and stylish choice.

Guest Considerations:

  • Avoid white or ivory: These colors are traditionally reserved for the bride.
  • Choose a flattering shade: Consider your complexion and the overall wedding theme.
  • Accessorize accordingly: Add pops of color or bold jewelry to elevate your look.

Wedding Party Considerations:

  • Bridesmaids: Cream is often a popular choice for bridesmaid dresses, but it's best to follow the bride's lead.
  • Groom's party: Cream is not typically worn by groomsmen.

Ultimately, it's best to communicate with the bride and groom about their preferences.
