If you're having a summer wedding, then it's okay to wear shorts or dresses. However, if you want to be taken seriously, then you should avoid wearing shorts because they make you look like more than just a guest. Winter weddings usually take place in cold weather so you need to think about what to wear depending on the temperature outside. If it's below zero degrees celsius, then you should wear a coat and boots. Otherwise, you'll look stupid wearing only a jacket. You should also bring an umbrella or raincoat because it may start raining during the ceremony. It's up to you whether you want to stand under the sun or get wet. If the wedding is in the south of France, where it's warm all year round, then you should wear shorts instead of dresses or long sleeves. But if you live in a country where it gets cold, don't forget to bring a scarf and gloves too. A winter wedding means there might be snow or ice on the ground so make sure you bring shoes that can handle these conditions.
