How To Be A Stylish Wedding Guest
If the summer season is known for being that of sarongs and swimsuits, it is also the peak season for weddings. The summer sun and mild temperatures are always conducive to festive ceremonies during which lovers say “I do” to each other for life. Then arises the eternal question of wedding attire. Need inspiration or fashion advice? Check out this complete guide on how to be a stylish wedding guest without ever making a mistake.
Mistakes to avoid when you’re invited to a wedding
If you’re invited to a wedding this summer, then you know all too well the puzzle of the perfect outfit. Between the fear of doing too much, that of not being in keeping with the theme or of not having an outfit stylish and sophisticated enough for the occasion, there are many sources of fear – even more so when the wedding dress code is not specified. Fortunately, there are joker outfits that adapt to all situations and can save you from a few embarrassing glances.
Like any ceremonial event, weddings are subject to certain rules of decorum. These are simple rules, but it is important to know so as not to offend the couple who are the center of attention. Here is a summary of the main rules to follow in order not to make any mistakes on the big day.
- If possible, ban white and avoid the color dedicated to bridesmaids. Even if it seems obvious, it is preferable to avoid white (and its very similar tones), unless the bride has decided to get married in a colored dress. Likewise, avoid choosing a dress or jumpsuit in colors similar to those of the bridesmaids so as not to be thought that you are part of the bride’s party.
- Don’t wear things that are too casual. Unless otherwise indicated in the dress code, jeans and other everyday clothing clearly have no place at a wedding.
- Don’t wear outfits and accessories that might focus attention on you. The whole idea of a wedding is to celebrate the couple getting together. No question, therefore, of stealing the show by arriving with a hat worthy of a princely wedding or in an outfit that would be more at home on the catwalk of a fashion show. However, if the bride agrees, then go all out and freely express yourself through your style!
Once these few precepts have been integrated, all you have to do is search for your stylish guest outfit: the one that will perfectly suit your desires, your style and the spirit of the wedding to which you are invited.
How To Be A Stylish Wedding Guest
Dresses, jumpsuits, and suits: what pieces can you wear when you are one of the guests? Whether you are a fan of the bohemian or rock trend through and through, it is entirely possible to play with your style codes to find the ideal outfit.
–How to be stylish for a bohemian-inspired wedding?
It is entirely possible to go for a bohemian look for a wedding, especially if the spirit of the ceremony is rather rural. In this case, the bohemian style dress will match perfectly with the setting. The same goes for print and color which will bring life and cheerfulness to your outfit.
Should you wear a long or short dress? It’s according to your wishes. If you feel comfortable in rather long bohemian models, let yourself be tempted by a long dress. Otherwise, opt for a slightly slit dress that will show off your pretty legs.
What accessories should you favor? Set your sights on simple, understated pieces, especially if the dress already includes bright colors. Opt for a clutch in the tones of your outfit to harmonize the composition and make sure to match your jewelry well.
What do about your feet? Put on a pair of comfortable shoes that will allow you to dance the night away. If your choice is pumps or high-heeled sandals, bring a spare pair of shoes.
–How to be stylish in a suit or two-piece suit to a wedding?
The pantsuit or the two-piece jacket/trousers suit stand out as the magical outfits that erase all doubts. They adapt to all situations and allow you to create an elegant silhouette without overdoing it. The golden rule is to focus on a quality outfit, combining perfect cuts and noble materials, in order to avoid the “I just came out of the office” effect.
Are all colors allowed? With the exception of white and black, yes. You can indulge in all the crazy things, from red to green to yellow.
What do to wear underneath? Something simple and light, like a white camisole tank. The most daring can dare to wear an elegant bralette for a more sophisticated style.
Can you wear sneakers to a wedding? Yes, but only if they are spotless and immaculate.
–How to be stylish in a long dress to a wedding?
A wedding is the perfect occasion to wear a long dress. But be careful, the idea is not to find the perfect dress to receive an Oscar. To properly celebrate the union of your friends, opt for a model that offers a certain freedom of movement. Satin fabrics are also wonderful allies, because they are very elegant. Finally, the most important thing is to choose a dress that you like and that is perfectly suited to your body shape.
What length of dress can we afford? Absolutely, all of them. However, avoid dresses with a train, as they are generally less practical. If you are afraid of not looking your best in a very long dress, opt for a knee-length dress or one with a wide slit on the leg so as not to weigh down the silhouette.
What shoes to wear with a long dress? Everything will depend on the style of your outfit, but you should avoid shoes that are too casual as they would disrupt the overall harmony of your look. Heels are generally appropriate with a long dress because they lengthen the silhouette. If you are afraid of thin heels, you can opt for a pair of wedge shoes for more comfort.
What accessories go well with the long dress? Finish your composition with some fine and delicate jewelry, an elegant clutch, as well as a shawl to avoid any possible evening cold.
–Can you dress stylishly for a rock style wedding?
If you are not a fan of the rock trend, know that it is entirely possible to find an outfit stylish enough for a wedding while maintaining your style and your identity. All you have to do is make a few adjustments.
You should probably avoid black as this color is generally the color of funerals and not weddings. You can keep a few small touches of black but you can go for more colorful rock pieces than usual.
What can you wear for bottoms? The field of possibilities is vast. For example, you can dare to wear leather pants as long as they are colorful (a pair of gold leather pants for example). The color will match the festive atmosphere of the wedding and the leather will underline the rock spirit of the room.
What top can you pair it with? A nice shirt. Choose noble fabrics like silk to bring an elegant touch to your composition. When it comes to accessories, you don’t need too much: focus on bracelets that you like but that remain sufficiently neutral.
The bonus? In summer, the hat is at the top of our wishlists. If you are not really a fan of hats, you can obviously wear your most beautiful fedora hat. The detail that hits the mark? Hang pearls around the ribbon to create an original combination in the spirit of the wedding.
