Although the attention is all about the bride, on her wedding day, this does not necessarily mean that you as a guest shouldn’t look fabulous, too. There isn’t very many events to get dolled up for nowadays, so in case you’re going to a wedding ceremony, capture this moment to wear something elegant and gorgeous.

Here are a few things to consider while attempting to find the right dress.

Don’t assume you can simply throw on a nice working dress and be finished with it. You’ll need to wear something dressier and extra glamorous.

Follow the dress code on the wedding invitation, and don’t be afraid to ask if there isn’t one written. At a wedding, it is better to be overdressed than underdressed!


2. Consider the Venue and Time of Day


What to wear to a wedding reception relies upon many things, which includes where the reception  is being held and what time. A ocean view wedding taking place at 1 pm can be way more informal than a church wedding at 4 pm, followed by a ball room reception at 6 pm. No matter the time or area, all wedding ceremony require a certain degree of decorum.

Ladies have greater flexibility in terms of dressing for a wedding reception than men. At some weddings, even a skirt and blouse or dressy evening pants worn with a dressy top are suitable alternatives.

3. Avoid Wearing White


Even as there aren't any formal guidelines, it’s common sense to forgo wearing a white outfit. White must be reserved for the bride ONLY. Even if the bride isn't wearing white, white makes one think about a bride, so stay clear out of respect. In case you decide on a lighter color, choose a pretty blue like this one beneath.

4. Don’t Reveal Too Much Skin


The length of your dress matters.  A ladylike length should  be no shorter than approximately an inch above the knee.  Additionally, keep away from low-cut dresses or attire which can be too loud, vibrant, or busy. You want to stand out, however not in a terrible manner. You’re not going to a nightclub. A extremely good way to expose a bit of skin but not look trashy is to choose an off-the-shoulder dress or a dress with a few sheer material. It’s subtly attractive, however still seems elegant.

5. Slip-On some Dressy Shoes


Chunky, extreme business footwear aren’t dressy enough for a wedding. Your shoes have to be delicate, dressier, and a bit attractive too. For instance, metallic heels add a hint of glam. You’ll need to hit the dance floor, so make certain you can move easily in whatever footwear you pick.

6. Wear Elegant Jewelry


A wedding is the best time to carry out your high-quality earrings. A gold bangle and a pair of gold hang earrings are the ideal complement to your outfit and shoes. Keep jewelry to a reasonable length- no more than 2″ beneath your earlobe would be appropriate.

7. Carry an Evening Bag


Leave your bulky, everyday work bag at home and opt for something more dressed like. For example a clutch or small chain handbag is a perfect choice for the occasion.

8. Don’t Forget a Wrap


You may probably want some thing to cover your arms due to the fact that many cocktail dresses are sleeveless. A wrap will definitely come in handy at the church, in an air-conditioned reception hall, or on a patio if the reception is outdoors. Make certain your wrap is delicate and ladylike.
