Italian wedding dress for guests

r/

Hello!

I am attending a wedding in Italy in early May. The wedding invite says guests can wear “evening dress/gown, anything you feel comfortable with, no colour limits, no style limits.”

Can anyone help me with some examples of what would be appropriate to wear? I of course won’t be wearing white or black. But for any other colour, I don’t wanna go over the top (which is usually my preference for dresses because I am Indian and like shiny, colourful things). Also, how long should the dress be? I am so out of my depth here. I just want to blend in, and not stand out, considering I’m going as a +1 and don’t know anyone there, including the bride and groom.

If you have any questions as to what I might or might not know while deciding a dress, please let me know. Because, tbh, I don’t know shit when it comes to western wedding etiquette.

UK recommendations would be most preferable.

Thanks!
