Consider your budget
There are plenty of affordable ideas for wedding guest outfits with dresses being the most popular option. From floral to plain and elegant dresses that can be dressed up for the occasion. We think it’s important to beat the idea that occasional dresses are single wear pieces. To make the most of your purchase, consider a dress you’ll get plenty of wear out of and is versatile for all occasions.
Dress for the season
Dressing for the season of the wedding is very important. You don’t want to be wearing a something that is too heavy or form fitting in the middle of summer only to be left boiling and uncomfortable while waiting 3 hours for the bride to arrive! Light dresses in fabrics such as bamboo and cotton are perfect for those warmer days because they are lightweight, breathable and able to keep you fresh and cool throughout the day. Whereas thicker fabrics and long sleeves are perfect for looking chic while providing extra warmth during autumn and winter. Consider the shape and flow of the dress you are searching for. After all, luxury isn’t luxurious if you don’t feel great wearing it! Choose a dress you feel confident and comfortable in.
Time and location
Part of dressing for a wedding means taking the time and the location into account. For a daytime wedding, you may opt for lighter colour fabrics whereas an evening wedding may require darker and more formal colours. If you are going to a city wedding, you would normally wear something different than you would for one in the countryside.
Elegant trousers are also appropriate as a wedding outfit. You can pair these with a blouse of your choice and still look chic!
