It is so exciting to be invited to a wedding. Especially a family member or a close friend. It’s a day to celebrate their love and devotion to one another. You may also be reminded of your big day or how much you love your partner. However, wedding guest fashion has fast become a hot topic amongst people. These days you want to look good, but you also don’t want to upstage the bride on her big day. So if you have been invited to a wedding this year, here is what to consider when creating the perfect look for you.
The type of wedding you are attending
A lot of your outfit options will stem from the type of wedding you are attending. These days there are so many different wedding options for the happy couple. They may be traveling abroad, or having something traditional. They may even be having a religious style ceremony like a Hindu or Catholic. From modern traditional looks to indian wedding outfits make sure you consider the style of wedding first and foremost.
The time of year or the season
Once you know what type of style you are going for the next thing to consider is the time of year or season. Is it a Summer affair or a Winter Wonderland? This should help you decide on the type of outfit you would like to wear. From a summer dress to a more formal look.
If there is a colour scheme
Has the bride got a colour scheme in mind? Does she want her guests to match? These are questions you could ask to avoid making any big mistakes. The last thing you want to do is turn up in the wrong colour.
Whether you are there for the day or just the night
Have you been invited to the whole thing or just the evening? This question can also have an effect on the choice you make. An evening invite may require a more informal choice. If you are there for the day, then you may want to consider an outfit change or something that you can wear for the evening as well.
How comfortable you are going to be
The next thing you want to take into consideration is the comfort factor. This applies to the clothes you wear as well as your shoes. The last thing you want is sore feet at the beginning of the party. If you are taking young children, you may want to factor in bending and crouching. Can you do that elegantly in a short low cut dress? A wedding can be a long day so making sure you look and feel comfortable will be important.
To wear a hat or not
Hat’s are something of a personal choice. They do offer a more formal look so it would depend on the wedding you are attending. If the couple is having a low-key affair than wearing a hat might make you stand out or look like you don’t fit in with the rest of the wedding party. Decide what will look best and take it from there.
I hope this helps you create the perfect wedding guest look.
