People seem to Address you the way you dress outside. Having been invited to a wedding is an honor, a couple is inviting you to celebrate their love with them and you should be going with the full intention of respecting that.
Choosing what to wear can be stressful, especially if you have a lot of weddings to go to this year. It can be difficult to remember what the absolute must-nots are for a wedding guest after hours of searching, so here are a few things you should avoid wearing to a wedding as a guest.
1. White
It sounds like an obvious one but it’s always worth mentioning, never wear white to a wedding! Even if neither of the couples is planning on wearing white themselves, with white being so closely linked to weddings it’s inappropriate to turn up in a white
Unless the couple specifically asks guests to wear white avoid it completely, including anything that is close to white or has large white features in it.
2. Casual outlook
For a wedding, it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. Again, unless the couple has specifically said they want all their guests to dress casually, you definitely shouldn’t be turning up in jeans and a shirt. The standard dress code for a wedding is a nice gown, so go with the assumption that you should be dressed in smart clothing.
For a wedding on the beach, a more floaty dress would be perfect without it looking too casual. If you aim to be comfortable there are plenty of options out there that are still smart looking but allow you to move around easily, such as a jumpsuit or wide-leg trousers.
3. Do not put on anything too loud
Similarly to wearing white, wearing something too bold and loud could be seen as an attempt to take attention away from the couple. Prints and colors are okay, as long as they are done properly. If you show up in a bright purple dress covered in fringe and diamontes, that could distract from the main event. If you want to wear the color purple, stick to something more muted and understated, and then you’ll be dressed appropriately for the wedding.
4. Avoid Going Too Tight
There's a thin line between a s*xy wedding look and a trashy wedding look. Dresses that are simply too tight should be avoided.
They are not only disrespectful to the occasion, but they can also be uncomfortable to wear all day, especially if you plan on dancing a lot.
When choosing what to wear just remember that unless told otherwise by the couple, you should stick to avoiding all of the above. There are plenty of other options out there to choose from and this way you can be sure nobody will be offended on the big day.
