Can I Wear a Metallic Dress to My Son’s Wedding?

A metallic dress sounds très edgy for your son’s wedding. That being said if it works with the bride and the color scheme of the wedding a subtle metallic like a pewter, gold or silver dress would be beautiful.

Avoid the very shiny metallic fabrics but something in a soft metallic shade is considered a neutral color and goes with everything. It is important to keep in mind that the spotlight should always be on the bride at her wedding.

Always check with the bride before choosing the color of your dress. If you wear a metallic dress little jewelry, such as pearl or diamond stud earrings, is enough. Keep your makeup light and neutral nail polish will be very chic. If possible you want to begin having a good relationship with your daughter-in-law to be. A classic style dress that fits perfectly would look fabulous in the wedding pictures ad infinitum.
