I'd like to introduce Emily and Meghan! The beautiful wedding we attended over the weekend inspired me to do this post! Weddings can be one of the hardest events to dress for, but don't worry, I've got you covered! :)
Don't wear:
- White. Duh, I know! This rule has relaxed a bit so you can get away with wearing a printed dress with a white background and some cream colored clothing. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry so go with a different color!
- Jeans or shorts, no matter how casual the wedding. This is my ultimate pet peeve!
- Anything too sexy, too short or revealing, especially if the ceremony is held in a place of worship. Bring a wrap or jacket to cover your shoulders if your dress is strapless/sleeveless.
- Anything torn, with holes, stained, too big or too small for you.
Do Wear:
- A floral sun dress. These are great for daytime weddings.
- Cocktail dress. One that you would wear out to the theater or dinner. A cocktail dress is great for an evening wedding.
- A dressy/cocktail suit. It is never mandatory for a woman to wear a dress. A well fitted suit can be just as beautiful, and you'll stand out from the crowd ;)
As for the ladies and myself, we stuck to the classic cocktail dress. Brights, peplum, and floral are all big trends this year.
