Charleston, South Carolina
 

I am going to Charleston SC St. Patrick's Day weekend for a wedding and touring. This site has been wonderful for touristy info. I am attending a wedding down there and was wondering what women would be likely to wear for a 4 pm wedding at this time of year. It's cold where I am and we are all wearing winter clothes, but I see Charleston is about 70degrees lately. Would spring clothes be more appropriate? Help!

I live in Charleston and have been wearing either light long sleeves or short sleeves. You may need a light jacket (depending on how warm blooded you are or where you're from)....but it's been really nice!

Jenalr, Have you been wearing darkish colors or spring colors?

A little bit of both, but mostly darker colors.

Where is your wedding located? Downtown?

Where is the wedding would dictate what I would wear.

The wedding isn't in Charlston itself but in Mt. Pleasant in what is described by the bride's mother as a very simple chapel. It is called the Tidewater Chapel and the reception is right there next to it.

Because it is an evening reception, I'd wear black silk pants and a jacket with strappy sandals.

Charleston is very preppy/conservative chic.

Think Prada and Lacoste but not Mui Mui or Ralph Lauren Polo. Lily Pulitzer but not the obvious ones.
