What to wear?


This question came up many many times.  My principal rule was "don't be nude".  After that, you had a lot of leeway.

If you wanted to dress up, even anachronistically, I said be my guest!  More contemporary getup was fine too.  I told people to wear what they likeed, what they were comfortable in, and to make sure they could use it again.

Ladies, as can be expected, had more leeway since there's just more fashion choices available to us, and more cool accessories.   But gentleman's wear is often delightfully vintage, and hasn't changed too much over the course of history.  One option was a nice suit.  James is here below, modeling some of his thrifty finds:




Hewore  something different for the wedding itself, but this is (1) a cute photo and (2) gives you an idea of vintage that's more contemporary-friendly.  Some of the participants will be wore more Victorian-looking gear, and some are going all the way to WWII-era, and some were goth.  So it's a smorgasboard!  My only other rule was "Don't worry about color palettes and tattoos and stuff - be yourself, show up, and have fun with us"
