What Should A Guest NOT Wear To A Wedding

Weddings are rather special occasions for the bride, groom and their families. It’s the result of months of planning. The big day for the bride and Groom and you’ve been invited to be a part of it so you definitely have to maintain your wedding etiquette.

Here’s a complete guide of what you should wear and what to avoid.

For An Informal Wedding

If it’s in the day, ladies can settle in for a short dress or a suit. A skirt and a nice printed blouse would also do just fine. For an evening function a nice cocktail dress would be perfect make sure the prints are not too big and the colors not too loud. For the males probably a dress shirt and slacks with a sports jacket would be just fine or a smart pair of trousers with a nice crisp color shirt would be perfect. If it’s in the evening make sure you turn up in a suit.

If your wedding invite say the attire for the wedding is simple and casual, ladies can wear a simple dress or a skirt/Trouser with a blouse but make sure you spice these up with nice jewelry and some accessories like a scarf. A matching handbag and a nice pair of shoes would be nice to complete the look. Men don’t turn up too casual as in a jeans and a tee. You don’t want to look too casual and under-dressed. Remember it is not too bad if you are a little overdressed, but you don’t want to be under-dressed, it will only make you look like a slop.

For A Formal Wedding

If your wedding is in the day time, ladies could just turn up in a short dress, or a suit or another option would be a skirt and blouse. You can team this up with a nice hat and for that dress a nice pair of gloves. Some nice jewelry would also do the trick. For the males a dark suit and a tie would be perfect.

If your wedding is in the evening and it’s a black tie, the ladies you can wear a nice long gown with beads and sequences to get the extra glitter. Diamonds would be a perfect jewelry choice. If it really doesn’t say black tie in the invite, then you can settle in for a nice black dress and some pearls or diamonds to go with it. For the males you definitely have to wear a tuxedo unless it says black ties optional (which means that you’re expected to wear a black tie).

A Few Things To Remember:
1. If you are wearing a hat, make sure it is not to huge.
2. If your using gloves, make sure you take them off before you eat.
3. At a beach wedding never try to look sexier than the bride.
4. Avoid wearing See through clothes, they are not meant for a wedding.
5. At a Church wedding make sure your backs n fronts are not too deep, carry along a wrap to use
6. For a garden or a beach Wedding make sure you keep your heels at home, flats would do just fine for this event.

The Golden Rule of any wedding is to NEVER TRY AND OUTSHINE THE BRIDE. Remember it is her day. Just remember all these points. Read your invite, check out the venue and the time of the wedding , choose your attire smartly and you are all ready to go and be a part of someone’s big day.
