Pippa Wants Wedding Guests To Change Clothes

I saw an article today that said Pippa wants all the people at the wedding ceremony to change their clothes before the reception.   The article didn't mention if she was going to provide storage space and/or dressing rooms.   Have any of you ever heard of anything like this?  In my opinion she is going a bit overboard and she isn't even royalty.

These people have money and probably have done it all.

Maybe it is a theme, or maybe she wants people to be super casual at reception.  Never know.

She must be planning on them having a swinging good time once they get away from the church.  She ought to know what she's doing.  She and her mom are professional party planners.  Wish I could go.

I was one of those "always a bridesmaid" girls decades ago.   In Catholic weddings (and I assume Anglican are the same).......there were only morning masses for weddings.     No "questionable" clothing was allowed in church.    If it was a formal evening reception, everybody went home and changed clothes for the formal affair at a hotel or country club.   

 

I realize "times have changed"...........

I don't think that's anything strange. When our son was Bar Mitzvah, we had a black tie optional party following: I changed clothes between the service (Synagogue) and party, as did everybody else....I didn't have to tell people how to dress either.

Yes, I've heard of it. My husband and I have attended several weddings over the years in different areas of the country where this was the tradition. The first time it happened, we were both so surprised, lol!  And those bridal/wedding shows have shown some women buying 2 dresses for years, too. Although at the "clothes-changing" weddings I've attended, it's only been the guests, and not the bridal party.
