ARRRRR i need your help!!!! ive been invited to a traditional turkish wedding i have no idea what to wear are there any dos and donts or thing i should aviod other than the obvious any advise would be wonderful.

Ok, so no boob tubes or mini skirts then! seriously though thank you for this.

There are different styles of weddings in Turkey. It would help if we knew if it's a "salon" wedding or outdoor wedding and where it will be. Traditional Turkish weddings go on for days and have different parts for the bride or the groom. What part have you been invited to?

Definitly do NOT bring wine as most of the participants and guests are probably Muslim and could not in clear conscience partake of it. You could bring sweets.

At the end of the wedding the bride and groom sit at a table and everyone goes up to the table to give the gold to the bride. It's customary to bring gold for the bride. Any jewlery shop in Turkey has special items for this event. You can spend a little or a lot, but it is the most appropriate gift.

Perhaps when we know more about the event, we will better be able to advise you.

Last time I went to a wedding I went all the way and wore traditional clothes with the silver belt and everything, but that was because it's very close family. People who are not closely related to the couple in question may wear 'normal' clothes.
I would advice you to simply use your common sense. Respect the customs about not revealing certain body parts (as mentioned before) and otherwise be creative (just for the sake of being festive). But I'm sure that when it all comes down to people won't mind if you show up in everyday clothes.
Have fun!

I wore a brown satin evening type dress, short (knee length) and sleeveless. I asked the groom before hand and he said wear something as if you were going out for a nice meal and that is what I did. There was a range of outfits from scarved women to those showing their tattoo's off! So I think as long as you look smart adn relatively modest - not to the extreme - you will be fine.

By the way, many of the guests (Ladies) changed clothes netween the wedding itself to the reception. Some turned up in full length (sleeveless) evening dresses - all very beautiful.

i wore a black v neck dress.knee length with diamante shoes and my big pregnancy bump..no1 battered an eyelid and some of the turkish guests were dressed worse than in England..there were no other english people there so im not being offensive to turkish people
