The rules are far looser than for a traditional church wedding. There really isn't a "dress code" -it's what you feel most comfortable in. you should contact the couple and find out if they have any special wishes or if there's anything that they don't want to see. Often handfasting are done outdoors, (I've been to several) so find out if it's an outdoor ceremony. Then you can dress for the weather, something light and cool if it's going to be hot, or something warmer if it's supposed to be cold. Also, save the spike heels for another occasion, outdoors and high sharp heels don't like each other. If the celebrants are followers of a nature or green path, then wear something that reflects respect for the natural world and is made of natural materials: no polyester shiny satin evening or cocktail dresses, but something linen, silk rayon, cotton, floral... Something that could be considered afternoon or daytime dress. For guys something office casual would probably suit the occasion. Handfastings don't have as many rigid rules as a traditional wedding, so keep an open mind and enjoy the experience.
Reply:There is no real dress-code. I've been to one-and I was a "brides maid" and we wore cloaks. Haha. But anyway, ask the person who invited you what they want you to wear. Everyone at the Handfasting I went to was pretty casual...some in jeans and the people in the wedding party were the only ones dressed up. So just ask to make sure :)
Reply:Ask their tradition, then wear something historic.


For example if they are into the Greek gods, wear


a long white Greek dress. You can get one from a


costume shop for around $30.





Try "Garb the World" for historical clothing at


very reasonable prices.





B*B,
