Be the Best Dressed Wedding Guest

Wedding Guest Dress Do's

Follow the dress code on the wedding invitation. In doing so, you show respect for what the bride and groom want on their big wedding day.
Dress for the time of day if no dress code is specified on the invitation.
Save the floor length dress for formal black tie weddings.
Ask if the church, synagogue, or mosque has a dress code that may require you to cover your head, shoulders or arms during the ceremony.
Dress down if you're in doubt. Less is always better. You can't go wrong looking more casual than the other wedding guests!
Check with someone in the wedding or a friend who lives where the wedding is taking place if you are in doubt as to what to wear. Each region of the country tends to dress differently for weddings.
Wear black to an evening wedding with accessories that make it clear you're attending a very happy occasion not a funeral. Add instant gaiety to any black outfit with colorful accessories like a pink flower or purse.
Be comfortable head to toe so you can enjoy the ceremony and the celebration.

Don't wear white. You risk competing with the bride or even worse you risk being mistaken for the bride. It's her big day so let her shine being the only one wearing white!
Don't worry too much about what you wear as the wedding guest. At weddings, all eyes are on the Bride, Groom and wedding party.
Don't try to match your dress to the color scheme for the wedding. It's not necessary nor is it expected. Select a color you like that flatters your hair and skin tones.
Don't over dress. Save glitter and sequins for after 6 p.m. or when the invitations calls for formal.
