Wedding Guest Attire
This is a hot topic for me, as a planner I see it all. And many times I want to scream. As a wedding guest, this isnt your personal fashion show, this is your friends wedding. You are not the star of the show nor should you try to be. A few common sense tips
Adhere to the dress code (formal, black tie, or casual; check if unsure).
Avoid wearing colors that match the wedding party's scheme
Do not wear a white suit or an all white dress - unless the invitation ask for an "all white" dress attire.
Refrain from making overly bold choices, no red dresses, no flashy animal prints and avoid skintight attire or peekabook outfits
Modesty is your friend - you should not be a distraction from the bride on her big day, its not the time for plunging necklines or ultra tight mini dress.
I think many people want to be noticed on a daily, but this day isn't about you being noticed; it's about spending it with a friend who is getting married and noticing the union of two best friends. Its about celebrating love, not looking like the love shack occupant.
Just asking that before you step out make sure you are not stepping on someones elses day. Someone elses moment. Common curtesy goes a long way!
