Wedding guest dresses are a dress code that women follow in order to avoid appearing as outcasts at a wedding ceremony. The date is saved it’s time for shopping. I know you can’t wait to pick that lovely dress for your wedding invite, whether it is from a friend, acquaintance, or family wedding. It is time to show them what you are capable of.
I know you started thinking about what to wear immediately after you received a mail or were given a card. It happens often and you have already started thinking about what to wear. You must have gazed through your wardrobe to see what would be the right outfit for the occasion.
Dressing for a wedding can be hectic as you want to look your prettiest, but remember that you should never overshadow the bride or the bridesmaids. We got it from the 48 laws of power “Never outshine the master” the rule applies to fashion at a wedding.
So, keep that number rule in mind. Number 2 is not to wear certain colors which are all white, all off-white, all Ivory, all black, or all red and all gold.
I know by now you will be wondering which one is (certain colors) not all colors. Emerald green wasn’t included in the colors we stated above.
The best-dressed wedding guest doesn’t have to break the bank or any rules. Getting a dress can be overwhelming (If it is a family wedding) all grandparents, cousins, and parents would be there. Which is while wearing skimpy dresses is out of the budget.
A mini or midi dress is good without it being too short remember (never outshine the bride, or bridesmaid or make extended family see you as irresponsible). Which is rule number 3 is not to wear a skimpy or uncomfortable dress. If you are to wear a midi dress make sure to go with a scarf to cover your lap. That’s why we said getting a wedding guest dress is hectic and overwhelming.
