What to Weat...bridal shower

Hey ladies, Wedding season is finally among us and you might be dreading this but I think it is the perfect way to wear that new dress you bought or that you had your eye on. I think there are so cardinal rules on how to dress at a bridal shower.
1. Do NOT wear white or even off white. Let the bride have her day.
2. Do not wear red. This color is associated with adultery and no bride or groom want a subliminal message about someone cheating.
3. Do not wear sky high heels. This is most likely a morning/afternoon affair, so leave the clubbing heels at home.
4. Try to wear a color that matches the brides color scheme(either go lighter or darker from her color) or a color that matches their color scheme.
