Perfect look for a wedding
As we've already mentioned, choosing the right wedding attire is vitally important when you're a guest. That's why we continue with our recommendations for what to wear to these events, but this time focusing on women's attire.
Just like with their male counterparts, a dress code must be followed, sometimes indicated directly on the invitation or expressed personally by the bride and groom. If nothing is defined, here are our tips for achieving the ideal look for the celebration.
Clues in the invitation
An excellent way to start planning what you'll wear is to analyze the invitation, as it's designed with a color palette that matches what will be worn at the wedding. Another factor that largely determines the style you choose is the venue, which influences the decorations and can inspire you.
Based on the invitation design and the venue where the event will be held, you can determine how formal or casual your dress code should be. This will not only fit the occasion, but also ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
Take into account time and season of the year
Now that you have a first style plan, the second part is matching it to the time of year and the season. A celebration on a spring morning, where a light dress will keep the heat from bothering you, isn't the same as a summer afternoon, where it may rain. Or, of course, fall and winter, where you should consider a warmer outfit, but it shouldn't be too warm, as these weddings are often held indoors.
The commandments of dress
With these elements selected, it's time to consider those unwritten rules that traditionally guide the ideal wedding attire. The first and most important is to avoid white and similar colors, as it is disrespectful to the bride, unless the dress code requires the use of this color. Similarly, black should be avoided, as it is associated with funerals.
The next point to keep in mind is that vanity should be put aside. It's the bride and groom's special day, and any outfit that steals the spotlight or competes with that of the main couple can look bad and cause an awkward situation.
Weddings are serious celebrations; they're not the time to show off your physical attributes, so provocative, revealing, and tight-fitting outfits should be avoided. Likewise, if the invitation says cocktail dress code, that's not an open letter to extremely short dresses, so avoid cuts that reveal more than three or four fingers above the knee.
Remember that wedding celebrations have very established rules, dictated by tradition and the couple's tastes. These aren't events where one person should stand out, but rather demonstrate elegance, good taste, and, above all, respect for the newlyweds and give them their opportunity to shine on their day.
