Finding the perfect wedding look is much easier than it may seems at first sight. A set of rules and traditions which, if we know, greatly facilitate this task. So today we decided to collect them all and so, when you are invited to a wedding, choosing your costume is child's play:
Unless the invitation specifically stated otherwise, it is strictly forbidden to go to a weddingdressed in white. This color is reserved exclusively for the bride, and, unless it is an Ibizan wedding in which we ask you to all go in white, it is considered disrespectful if a guest comes to a wedding dressed in this color .
If the wedding is celebrated in the morning women should wear a short dress, knee length, other than black or sequins or rhinestones take. The pastel colors, like pink or mint that is now so fashionable, and floral prints are perfect for the occasion. As a supplements you need to be discreet. Men will be perfect with a suit in a dark color: black, navy or gray, the tie should be discreet. If this is a very elegant wedding it is better that the guests wear a tuxedo.
If the wedding is celebrated in the afternoon than women should wear a cocktail dress.At this time of the day it is permitted to wear several sequins and sparkles, as well as more vibrant colors like red or blue klein. Suplements still need to be discreet and a hat is normally ruled out for this time of the day.
If the wedding is at night than the women must wear a long dress, high heels and a handbag. Depending on whether it is a formal wedding or not men can choose between a dark business suit, a tuxedo or tails.
If it's a casual wedding on the beach than men can perfectly wear linen suits and women can be dressed in light fabrics.
If in spite of these tips you are still having any doubt about the ideal wedding look, than call the couple and ask them how you should dress for their wedding. They know better than anyone the kind of wedding they want, and how they would like their guests to be dressed.
As we always say, the advice that makes the protocol are just that, and if you do not feel comfortable following it you can always ask the couple if there are any problems with your look.
