What Should You Wear To A Wedding As A Guest? Don’t Worry, We Have You Covered!
So the day has arrived. You have just been invited to your next wedding, and as the hashtag weddingszn approaches across the caption of every Instagram picture, you may be on the lookout for what other guests have been wearing to the ceremony.
Shortly after we RSVP, the idea of shopping instantly crosses our minds, and as we peruse the well-known hashtag to find the appropriate party attire, we sometimes end up panicking on where to look next!
Well, look no further as we guide you in picking out the perfect outfit from black tie events to tropical destination ceremonies and everything in between!
While a highly formal event that includes black tie is very seldom nowadays. Most couples are leaning towards a backyard bash that still holds the feeling of effortless, elegant style.
However, if you are destined to attend a ceremony that pushes for a strict dress code, the first thing in your shopping cart should be a black tuxedo, tie, and leather patent shoes.
For us girls, we get to browse all the sites while trying to find the perfect floor-length gown for the event.
It’s time to dress to the nines! Gather up the glam squad. This type of event will require a full face of make and hair styled by a professional. Find some elegant jewelry with a clutch to match.
As far as colors go, you have the option to choose from any color family aside from white, of course. Red is still considered a hot topic as folks seem to think the color takes away from the bride.
No worries, be yourself.

Now there’s a chance your invitation may say formal, instead of black tie. I know, confusing, right?
So now we question what is the difference between the two? Well, as a guest, you have the option to choose a floor-length gown or a cocktail dress. Of course, you are still aiming to look your absolute best. But, you don’t have to go extreme on this one.
As far as the dress code goes for the men, they get to have a bit more fun with this one. Ditch the all-black suit, and let’s go color crazy.
Incorporate fun colors, textures, and prints. Looking for a velvet suit? Now is your time to shine. Have you always pictured getting the chance to wear your salmon coat and khakis? Don’t hold back your excitement, this theme is for you.
Whatever you choose to wear, be sure to still look your Sunday best.
Weddings that involve a cocktail dress code are much more fun. You now, have plenty of flexibility regarding the length of your dress, color, and patterns.
Same for the guys. There is no need to bust out a full suit this time around. Instead, dress pants, shirt, and tie will do the trick.
If you are lucky enough to be invited to a destination wedding, then you are most likely heading somewhere tropical.
While this dress code is much more relaxed, you still need to look your best and semi-formal. This may include a floral maxi dress and nice pair of sandals.
If anything, be sure to swap the stilettos for something more reliable when walking through the sand. Sandals or wedges are great for this occasion.
Shorter skirts and button-up shirts with lightweight textiles are most definitely acceptable for this form of a ceremony. Enjoy the sand and sun with light and airy apparel.
While deciding on what to wear to a wedding is not always an easy task, we hope this fashion guide helps you scout the perfect outfit.
