Can you wear burgundy to a wedding?

Burgundy works well for autumn and winter weddings, and it sits comfortably between formal and relaxed. The key is to avoid clashing with the couple's chosen palette. If the bride is wearing burgundy or the groom has a burgundy waistcoat, choose something else. A dress in this colour can look rich and elegant, especially in heavier fabrics like velvet or crepe. For daytime events, a lighter shade or a dress with a pattern can soften the look. If the invitation specifies a dress code, follow it; burgundy can fit smart casual, semi-formal and even black-tie when paired with the right accessories. Always consider the venue and the time of year, as a bright shade may feel too heavy in summer.
