    Dear ones!

    What should I wear to an afters of a wedding? I'm really stuck!

    Would a black jumpsuit and heels with some bling be ok?

    How blingy? What kind of venue is it?

    I'd wear a dress, all the day guests will be dressed up. Jumpsuit more for night out imo

    Had a friend turn up at our city wedding the main part of the wedding) in a dark green jumpsuit with bling.... looked good.

    The last wedding I was at had some beautiful jumpsuits - and it was an all day event. I'd say go for it.

    I'd say go for it. So long as you don't look messy it's all good. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone coming to ours on an afters invite to dress up as much as the day guests- I'd say treat it as a fancy Saturday night out in town (a la dinner & cocktails) and you'll be golden.

    Do take heed of the location though, as others said. Jumpsuit and bling might look quite out of place at a country manor reception but would look perfect for a city wedding.

    That's would be perfect. I've seen lovely jumpsuits at a wedding.

    I've also seen some lovely examples of people wearing jumpsuits to weddings, and not just the afters. As Baby and Crumble said, treat it like a fancy night out - you can probably afford to be slightly less conservative than the all day guests.

    I'm off to an afters this weekend and I'm wearing a pink satin dress which is probably an inch or two shorter than what I'd wear to a full day event - thinking about it I've mostly worn midi dresses to weddings of late, this would be an inch or two about the knee.

    I wore jumpsuit to a wedding. It's​ one of the most flattering outfits I own and it's non restrictive. I really don't see why not, surely women shouldn't be limited to wearing dresses or skirts to more formal events.
