How to dress for a wedding

When a woman is invited to a wedding, along with the excitement and joy of the friend or relative who is formalizing the marriage comes that difficult concern: ?What clothes should I wear??. And who has never been through this, is not it?

As worrying as the situation may seem, you should not despair of thinking about it. What you can and should do is to analyze the main points governing the etiquette of wedding attire.

The key things to keep in mind are: invitation-specific attire, party location, weather, and party time (one of the items that should most influence your choice).

Since not all invitations provide information on what to wear for the ceremony and party, social attire will be your choice.

For men, the whole situation is more peaceful. If the costume has not been specified, go in social pants, shirt and suit. Never go in jeans or a t-shirt. And care should be taken in choosing the shoe, not to choose a sports model.

For the guest woman, is wearing the dress the only option? No. It is possible to assemble sets with skirt and shirt, skirt and blazer or social pants and blazer, if you prefer not to opt for the traditional dress. However, keep in mind that most women will probably opt for the dress.

And should the dress be short, medium or long? Long dresses should be exclusive to the bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom. However, if it is too cold and the bride concedes, the guests can also go long. In other cases, it is considered good to go in a medium or short dress that is not too short, especially if there is a church ceremony.

As for the party venue, is it important to remember that indoor venues call for more elaborate productions while outdoor parties? farms, beaches and parks? ask for lighter, more relaxed and comfortable looks.

If the weather is mild to warm, production will be easier to assemble. A dress and a sandal already solve your doubt. However, if the weather is cool or very cold, you will need to invest in a sleeve dress, socks and closed shoes.

Regarding the neckline: If the strapless fall, use loose hair and do not wear too short skirt; If it is a closed neckline, lock the hair and the skirt may be shorter. The secret is to balance.

Another tip is to talk to the bride and other guests, so you talk about the costumes and can help each other when choosing. It also prevents you from coming to the party dressed differently from everyone else.

But gold tip The one who is invited to a wedding is: don't go in light clothes. These include white, champagne, pearl and other light colors we love, but should be forgotten when inviting a wedding. Light color is exclusive to the bride, do not forget this rule.

Here are more specific costume tips for each situation.
