You are excited to receive your best friend’s wedding invitation. But after checking your wardrobe, you have no direction in dressing. How to wear is proper that you can shine in your own style without stealing the bride’s show? Here is the dress code for attending a wedding.
Consider the theme
Not sticking to the wedding theme will make you outstanding among other guests who mostly dress in similar styles. Also, the bride may feel irritated because you break her expected harmonious view. Besides, your different dressing style will attract some extra attentions. Sometimes, the wedding theme is weird that it’s reluctant for you to follow the style. But, it’s not your wedding. Dressing as the couple asks is a manner. You can try to do is to incorporate the specific trend into your own style. Grasp the obvious features of the theme and add those elements to your dressing. Showing in details is moderate without many lofty tones.
Know the wedding venue and be matching
This rule is not only made for the bride, also for all the people in the wedding. This is about the environment and how you should prepare for your own comfort when you are in there. This is very important. You don’t want to feel weird during the wedding and have no happy emotions to enjoy it. If the wedding is in a garden, the weather and temperature must be comfortably warm. So you can choose a knee length dress with wedge shoes bringing spring fresh feelings. If the wedding is in a summer hot beach, then consider shortening your dress and selecting flats. Or leisure maxi dress is also a good choice. Remember not to do over. After all, the couple and other guests are willing to focus on the ceremony, not somebody’s tanned body. If it is a church wedding, you’d better pay more attention and dress formally. Know what kind of the church is. Personally thinking, more formal the church is, less exposure you should do.
Ensure the time and make the final decision
The time of the wedding is more crucial to your final decision than the former two. You must don’t want to wear a min length cocktail dress for a chilly autumn evening wedding ceremony or a floor length evening dress to a summer garden wedding party in the day. For the day outdoor weddings, you can choose cool dress and fabrics allowing skin breathing. If it’s autumn, you can bring a slight silk wrap. If the weather is cooler, bring a wool one. For night evening, besides the summer, other three seasons are differently cold in that time. So choose long dresses with sleeves. Or you can match a jacket. Make sure the fabric can keep you warm.
