What's Appropriate Wedding Guest Wear? | yohana
We hate to steal your thunder, but in a word: yes. However, that doesn't mean you can't have a little fashion fun with your outfit. After all, weddings are a prime place to meet eligible babes, so you want to be looking your best. We chatted up Martine Wester, whosenamesake bridal collection launched last week, to get do's and don'ts of wedding guest dressing.
"Most brides will want all their guests to share and enjoy their happiness so she will want her guests to feel great and look great too," says the designer. In a way, you can think of it as your duty to look polished. Who doesn't want to have good-looking friends in their wedding photos?
That said, you don't want to steal the spotlight from the newlywed. Indeed, "A guest should always stick to conservative shapes and colors unless otherwise stated by the bride," coaches Wester. So what does that mean?
For starters, you can go ahead and skip the neon bandage dress. Blindingly bright colors, leopard prints and anything resembling white is a no go. However, fun colors like thisbrilliant blue number or buttercup yellow dress can add to the festive feel of a summer wedding. You can always go by this rule of thumb: if you are wondering whether it's too loud, it probably is.
As for the silhouette, classic shapes like an A-line number, a sheath or an empire dress are always a safe bet. On the no list? Anything super tight or revealing. Don't worry, you can wear your dress with a down-to-there plunge another time.
As Wester puts it, "The only one who should shine on that day is the bride." We couldn't agree more.
