Wedding season is nearly upon us, so many of us will be looking forward to a late spring or summer wedding. After putting the date into the calendar, our thoughts often turn to outfits. Part of the excitement is choosing and buying a new dress, but it is sometimes hard to know where to start. Let’s look at some top tips for choosing your outfit as a wedding guest so that you can look forward to the big day and feel like a million dollars.
Location, location
Check out the wedding venue and plan your outfit accordingly; for example, if the wedding is in an ultra-posh stately home, you may choose to go for a more formal A-line dress, while a relaxed, outdoor wedding in a teepee may call for a floaty, summery empire line dress.
You should also think practically. If the wedding is at the beach, you may be more comfortable in flats or dressy sandals.
Colour schemes
It is worth taking two minutes to find out whether the bride and groom have any preferences for what their guests will wear; for example, it is not unusual for the invite to specify a colour scheme to make the photos pop. Finding out what colour the bridesmaids will be wearing avoids any awkward clashes on the day.
Weather
If part of the wedding will be outdoors, accessorise appropriately to make sure you are not too hot or too cold. A simple shawl can provide a valuable layer of warmth on a cool evening, while a long-sleeved lightweight dress will protect you from the sun.
You should also think ahead to your tights. A comfortable pair of high-quality plus size tights can make your outfit look sleek and give you that little extra confidence to rock your dress.
Are you looking for plus size tights?. If so, you will find a fantastic range of colours and styles to complement any outfit.
Unwritten rules
Lastly, remember that all-important rule: don’t wear white unless you are the bride.
