One of my coworkers is getting married tomorrow morning and the ceremony is at 10 am with a brunch reception to follow. What would you wear to a wedding for a couple of hipsters? My guess is whatever it is it should be worn ironically, right?  |

I've been looking to Zooey Deschanel for inspiration.
And I already have a patent leather purse so I am 1/2 way there, apparently!  |

Go naked! You want the attention on you and not some boring ass bride! Is it inside? Causal or formal? Is it cold there this time of the year? Details, woman! We need details!! And whatever you decide don't forget the strappy 5 inch sandals.  |

Do you have time to get a few tattoos? maybe some stars behind your ear or something on your wrist?

It should be sunny and 60 (hey, at least there's no snow!)
The venue is one of those old Victorian houses in the city that has been converted into banquet hall. |

Most of my coworkers are going so we won't be the oldest nor the most out of touch people there. SCORE!

Something from www.lilahhorwitz.com/nycgarments.html Apparently, she is an "artist" and a "designer of site specific clothing" (to quote an old buddy "That's the doucheiest set of words I've seen in print in a long time."). Yeah, I don't really know what that is either. I think she goes to thrift stores, buys used shirts, and then appliques a piece of fabric in the shape of a gun to the front. Then, as a bonus, she cuts the bottom half off so you have a totally cool half shirt (like from the 80s!).  |

Aside from it being a white dress, you'll fit right in.  Don't forget the antique camera!  |

A mustache.. isn't that a hipster thing? Or am I totally un-hip? A hipster without a mustache is like peanut butter without jelly. Up without down. Left without right. |

Do "hipsters" marry these days? If they're NOT preggers?
The only "hipsters" I've known that got married did so in their mid-thirties... and "with a bun in the oven".

Unless the invite says hipster dress code, I don't think matters all that much unless you will be the only non-hipster attendee. During college, my friends and I attended a wedding similar to what you describe, morning wedding with a reception to follow at I think 1PM. It turns out the reception was literally just cake and something to drink. -faint-If it hadn't been over an hour drive and the wedding and reception was through anyone's lunch hours I suppose I would have been more forgiving. I don't remember what I wore, but it was pretty informal. I went with something appropriate in my closet which was either a knee length dress or nice pants and a nice top. If you do want to stick to the hipster theme, ideally your shoes should be comfortable. 2 1/2" heels would be pushing it. (Remember, hipsters though probably don't wear Crocs. ) |

I googled hipster wedding pics and there are more hits than I expected. Compared to those two celebs that are wearing red & blue plaid down the aisle, the few hipster wedding pics I viewed bgdidn't look all that bad.  Business casual, Nice but not too dressy and interesting lower footwear seems to work. At least its not redneck or a HoneyBoo wedding.  |

I think about anything from this store should do it. I don't think most of you are thinking outside of the ordinary hipster wedding attire.... www.clockworkcouture.com/ |

Wth is a hipster? at first I thought you meant you and DH are hippies, but that didn't seem to make sense in my head. I hangout out with teenagers all day. You'd think I know this.  |

Thank you all for your suggestions! Even if I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, I did look at them while I was out. Some of those dresses are CUUUUUTE!!  Yesterday was the first time in I can't remember how long that I was at the mall by myself. It was AWESOME!!! And it is also why I waited until last night to shop. Anyway....this is what I ended up with: ![]() I've got my patent leather purse, mary jane pumps and tights to go with it. Along with simple jewelry and a cardigan. It's not all that memorable, but I will be able to wear it again. Thanks again for the suggestions everyone!  << draws mustache on her finger with a Sharpie >> |
