My older son just got engaged...My future DIL and son are thinking of a Las Vegas wedding (the second marriage for each of them)......in a chapel.......as mother of the groom are sequin pants appropriate?

hmmm - I would save the sequins for the celebration. Even though it's Vegas, it's still a chapel.

Ummm........ it's still a wedding. As a matter of fact my husband and I got married in a Las Vegas chapel. It was very high end, as beautiful as a church, we had the most wonderful photographer, and the cake would rival any bakery in my area. I wore the traditional wedding gown, and my husband were a magnificent black tuxedo. It was well done, and I wouldn't have done it any other way!! We didn't want the big hoopla that we had for our first weddings. There's nothing to poo poo on the Vegas wedding chapel. Wear the sequins! 👍🏻

My brother-in-law got married in a Las Vegas chapel, and the woman who married them wore a blue sequined dress with a big butterfly on the front. My mother-in-law (his mother) is conservative and wore a skirted suit. As for the guests, it was all over the map. So there you go. The "chapel" designation didn't seem to mean much.

Uhh - that's not at all the intent of my post. No need to take offense where none was meant.

I just see sequins as flashy and more in line for the celebration. Leave the sequins/sparkle for the bride.

@CatLady72- The pants will be fine.

I always got the impression that anything is appropriate in Vegas.

But then, I've never been there.

If fake Elvis can marry you in a Vegas chapel, you can wear sequined pants in a Vegas chapel.

It's Vegas .... you will see people wearing all sorts of clothing, all times of day and night. If you like your sequin pants and you want to wear them, I say go for the gusto. But if you're still concerned, you might ask your future DIL if she's okay w/ your outfit.

I would probably check to see what they are planning on wearing in order to gauge the formality of the event, especially since it's a second marriage for both of them.

Mother-in-law dresses/gowns can have some sequin detailing without detracting from the bride.

I lived near Las Vegas for 13 years and you're right, anything is appropriate! If I were the mother of the bride or groom I would definitely wear sequins!!!

@lil sophie Although a very pretty dress and color, much too conservative for Vegas, IMO!

Anything goes in Vegas. Just take the weather into consideration. It's been hotter in Vegas than it's been in Phoenix. I wouldn't want to wear sequined pants in 110 degrees. Hopefully the wedding is in the winter or at least a cooler month.

I agree, that dress doesn't work for Vegas.

I think that dress would be fine for a wedding in Vegas, if that’s what you feel comfortable wearing. I also think sequined pants would be fine too. I think jonbon had the best answer - wait and see what they are doing and maybe ask the bride what would be appropriate.

Maybe they want something more conservative; just because it’s Vegas doesn’t mean it has to be wild. But, maybe the opposite is true and they are looking at the event as a big party.
