Attending a wedding is always a special moment where we celebrate the love and union of two people. But before dancing under the stars, one crucial question remains: what to wear? The art of dressing as a wedding guest is a delicate balance between elegance, respect for the bride and groom and, of course, your own style. As wedding season kicks off, we give you our tips for being the best-dressed guest at the party.
How to dress for a wedding as a guest?
Respect the dress code
Before you choose your outfit, make sure you understand what the style of the wedding is going to be. Ultra formal in a castle? Black Tie? Casual country? Whether it's a formal, semi-formal or casual wedding, this will set the tone for your outfit choice. Respecting this code will be a first way of showing your consideration for the bride and groom and for this occasion that is so special for them.
Choose a comfortable outfit
Being comfortable dancing until the end of the night is essential. We invite you to opt for natural, breathable materials, especially if the wedding takes place in summer. Say goodbye to clothes that are too tight or bustiers that don't stay in place, it could spoil your fun that day. As far as shoes are concerned, no injunction on the height of heels. Our tip? Take a second, more comfortable pair with you that you can put on during dinner or the evening.
Accessories first and foremost!
Accessories are precisely what will transform an ordinary outfit into an extraordinary outfit. Jewelry, a clutch, a headband, a brooch: everything is accepted. This is the perfect opportunity to play with materials or bright colors.
One rule, however: avoid having matching bags and shoes (we promise it's more modern when they're mismatched!) and don't overdo your outfit. The idea is not to play on accumulation either.
Adapt to the place and time
The location and time of the wedding will influence your choice of outfit. For an outdoor or beach wedding, a light dress and sandals will be appropriate, while an evening wedding in a luxurious venue will require more formal attire. Be aware of the context to avoid any sartorial faux pas.
Whether you're a bridesmaid, mother of the bride or simply a guest, dressing for a wedding can be a real headache. Yet, it's also the perfect opportunity to dress fancier than usual while still showcasing your personal style. By following these simple tips, you'll be sure to shine on the dancefloor without outshining the bride. So, get out your best outfit and get ready to turn heads at the next wedding you attend!
What color to wear when you are invited to a wedding?
Choose the right colors
We don't teach you anything: white is to be banned! Champagne or any other color that could compete with the bride's dress is prohibited. Pastel shades, cheerful tones or floral patterns are often a safe choice. If the wedding has a specific theme, try incorporating that color into your outfit.
Soft Pastels
For a touch of softness and elegance, opt for pastel shades like powder pink, sky blue or lavender. These colors bring a note of freshness and are perfect for spring or summer weddings. Pair them with metallic accessories for an irresistible glamorous effect.
The Black Classic
Black is always an elegant and sophisticated option for a wedding, especially if it takes place in the evening. Opt for a chic black dress and add a pop of color with bright accessories or bold shoes. You will be both ultra elegant and timeless.
Happy Tones
Dare to use bright, happy colors to bring a touch of cheerfulness to the occasion. Mustard yellow, coral or fuchsia are perfect for summer weddings and add a dose of good humor to your outfit. Just make sure you choose shades that complement your skin tone.
The Glamor of Metallic
To shine brightly, focus on metallic tones like gold, silver or bronze. Whether through a shimmering dress or sparkling accessories, these colors add a touch of glamor to any outfit. Perfect for evening weddings where you want to make a splash on the dance floor!
Ultimately, the color you choose for a wedding must above all reflect your personality while respecting the style of the event. Whether you opt for romantic pastel tones, bright and cheerful colors or timeless shades, the main thing is to feel comfortable and stunning in your outfit. So, pull out your favorite color palette and get ready to shine brightly on the dancefloor!
