Finding the right wedding dresses, especially the right dress to wear to a wedding, isn't complicated. Do some research on acceptable looks for the level of formality or occasion, after which check out the dress code. (Spoiler alert: you probably already have a dress that will work for most weddings in your closet.)
You should look at the time the ceremony begins if the invitation does not specify a dress code. If you're still lost, look the venue up in advance, or contact other guests for their advice. If it's still a problem for you, consider getting married during the daytime. Weddings in spring and summer are wonderful times for pastel colours, floral prints, and fun looks. You may even want to add a faux fur stole to your little black dress for a fall or winter wedding.
Instead of spending all that time wondering, "What should I wear to this wedding," make sure that you focus on finding a dress, separates or jumpsuit that makes you feel amazing, and know that you can reach into your closet and find everything you need.
With wedding season here (wedding season! ), we put together a cheat sheet slideshow of dress ideas, dress code clues, and more to help you pick the perfect wedding guest dress for any ceremony and reception you may have this spring or summer.
During a daytime or morning wedding, it's perfectly fine to wear sundresses, skirts, and tops, or even dressy pants. You won't be allowed to wear jeans or shorts at a wedding, regardless of how informal the event might be. An informal affair does not require you to wear high heels - a pair of lovely flats or sandals may suffice depending on the temperature.
Like an informal daytime wedding, an informal evening wedding suggests a dress but also allows a lot of flexibility. In either case, you'll appear appropriate and stylish whether you wear a little black dress and flats or a romantic maxi dress with flats.
There's a lot to consider with semi-formal, but you shouldn't overthink it. A semi-formal wedding is a good occasion for a shorter cocktail dress and heels/sandals or dressy separates like a dressy jumpsuit or embellished skirt.
You can wear the same thing to both. Dress less dressy for an evening wedding than you would for a daytime wedding, but put on the same outfit for both. Dress for the occasion in a cocktail dress and heels or dressy separates (same as daytime). An LBS is also a great option for the evening ceremony.
It can be tricky to dress for a wedding with a black tie optional! You should just keep in mind that "optional" offers flexibility and variation. (Men may, but are not required, to wear tuxedos). A cocktail dress with heels or a more formal dress is both appropriate. (Trendier brides may choose a fancy midi dress in lace or velvet or a sleek jumpsuit in crepe or satin for black-tie optional ceremonies.)
If the bride or groom are royalty or title, it is expected that a white tie occasion will be the most dressy of them all. Whether long floor-length gowns with fuller skirts (or a combination of both) are appropriate, the women's attire should be Jewellery that's comfortable-maybe gloves too! Adding slits and low necklines for a more formal occasion is not appropriate since a white tie implies a certain level of tradition and modesty.
