I don't know what to wear to my cousins wedding!
I am a 25 year old female and I haven't been to a wedding since I was 13 years old and my cousin who is a preacher is getting married September 13th of this year and I don't have any idea what to wear .

A conservative dress, not too short & not too much skin on top. Low heels can go with pretty much anything. Look at the invite for clues for how formal it will be and whether a flowery cotton print, striped suit, or satiny dress is more appropriate. Use the colors and prints the bride chose as inspiration, but don't match the colors in it exactly or you may be mistaken for a bridesmaids. Obviously not white, either!

I had this problem a few months ago! The best thing you can do is ask your cousin what the dress code is for the wedding. The choices are usually between formal and semi-formal, but there are a few others. This link below goes through exactly what each of them are so when he tells you, it'll make sense. Good luck and have a great time!

This is wear being a man is easier dressing for dress occasions. He either wears a suit and tie, sports coat and slacks or tuxedo. Women have more choices to make and some inane dress code to meet.
Having grown up just outside of New York City and having spent many hours waiting for my dates to finish dressing. The appropriate dress was.
Afternoon Weddings at a catering hall: A Cocktail Dress, A good dress, Slacks, Blouse and Jacket with heels and a clutch purse.
Evening Wedding at a Catering Hall: Evening Gown, Cocktail Dress with clutch purse and heels.
Wedding at someone's home afternoon or evening: Dress Suit or Pants suit, clutch purse and shoes capable of walking on grass, dirt, gravel and cement in comfort. Cocktail dresses still appropriate but consider a bit much.
Since this is a member of the clergy's wedding something a bit understated would be appropriate.
I would suggest you ask your date what he plans to wear. If he plans to wear a suit then you wear a dress suit. If he plans to wear a sports coat and slacks then you dress accordingly.

I went to my first wedding this year, beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Now my suggestion would be a nice dress (not TOO fancy) a nice pair of shoes (heels or flats, your decision) and maybe a cute clutch purse. Just keep it simple and classy :)
Have fun with it!
