(Closed) mature bridesmaid — what to wear?

A dear friend, who is 60+ (as am I) is getting married in April, and I am her only attendant. I was thinking that whatever she chooses to wear, my attire should be similar to hers — i.e., if she wears a suit, I will wear a suit, if she wears a long dress, I will, too. But when I mentioned this to a woman whose taste I admire, she said that would be a mistake — it would take too much away from the bride.

I’d love to know what others think.

Thank you!

Welcome to the Hive!  I would think that your attire would match the formality of hers but just much more subdued.  If she wears a nice white suit, then a plain black, blue, or whatever color would be fitting.

Absolutly! I would follow suite (haha no pun intended) with whatever the bride wears
