How to Dress as A Wedding Guest

When you receive an invite for your friends' wedding, don't let it get lost on the coffee table, you should check the date and decide if you'll go. Whether you can or can't, respond as soon as possible because it is very important for the couple to find out who's coming. If you'll go, when all of a sudden it hits you-- what are you supposed to wear?

It's not that easy if you do not pay attention to some important details that are typically overlooked. These details include wedding theme, etiquette for wedding attire for guests, and most importantly, the time and season of the year in which the wedding is held. Once you find out about these details of the wedding that you are attending, you can easily choose the best wedding guest dress to wear.

Dress as you would for any other social event held at the hour and during the season of the wedding. For example, if it's a spring brunch or luncheon, a pretty suit or floral dress would be appropriate for women. For evening, depending on how formal the wedding is, cocktail dresses would be a good choice.

Don't wear anything too flashy like sequins which are probably a no-no. Do try the outfit on before you leave home if you're going to be getting ready in a hotel. Check that the outfit works and that you have the right underwear etc.

How to Dress for A Wedding as A Guest

You've gotten the invitation for your friends' wedding, happily circled the date on your calendar and started shopping for their gift, when all of a sudden it hits you – what are you supposed to wear??? There are several things you need to pay attention to when you are choosing wedding guest dresses.
Do dress up. The least you can do is look glamorous and decorative in their wedding album. Wear something upbeat. Wedding is a celebration of love, so do not send the wrong message.

Don't wear anything too obviously foxy. You're there to applaud and cheerlead, not to try and steal the limelight. Too much cleavage, too short, too tight etc looks unsisterly and attention-seeking.
Do go ahead and ask the bride, or one of her close friends, if you're unsure if they'd mind you wearing white. Some brides do, some don't --- if you're not sure, check. Do not, however, leave this call until the morning of the wedding when the inner-circle will be, shall we say, a bit busy.

Don't forget to think about what you wear over the dress. You need a wedding-appropriate coat or jacket. Most weddings involve a fair bit of standing around outside and there's no point wearing a gorgeous dress if it ends up hidden under a dreary coat.
