It’s that time of year again, our social calendars are filling up, and we are slowly running out of outfit ideas for the upcoming wedding season.
We have created the ultimate blog to help you along the way, with stunning dresses and outfits to fill your occasion wear collection. So, if you’re needing some outfit inspiration, read on to find the ideal wedding guest outfits for tall ladies and more!
What Not To Wear To A Wedding
Weddings over the years have had fewer and fewer outfit rules, which is great, but can make things more complicated when you’re on the hunt for the perfect outfit. What we all want is to be the best dressed wedding guest. Here are a few tips on what not to wear at a wedding to help you narrow down your search:
- Don’t Wear White: Unless the couple requests it, avoid white, ivory, or champagne. These shades are traditionally reserved for the bride.
- Avoid Jeans or Overly Casual Clothes: Even at casual weddings, jeans, shorts, and flip-flops are typically a bit too relaxed unless stated otherwise.
- Anything Too Revealing: Plunging necklines, super short skirts, or sheer panels might be better saved for your next night out. Weddings call for elegance and respect.
