Wedding Guest Outfit Do’s and Don'ts:
You’ve just received a wedding invitation–an exciting moment! Now, the question on everyone’s mind: what to wear? The designers at Opus Couture share insights on how you can be the best-dressed wedding guest, regardless of the dress code. We'll explore various wedding styles, providing you with essential tips to ensure you arrive looking fantastic and appropriate. We’ll guide you to be the standout guest at every celebration.
1. The Cardinal Rule: Avoid Whites
The golden rule that should never be broken: avoid wearing white unless explicitly requested by the bride and groom. White is reserved for the star of the show—the bride. Steer clear of pale colours that may resemble white in certain lights, and opt for a vibrant colour that complements the joyous occasion.
2. Dress for the Venue
Consider the wedding venue or location when choosing your outfit. Whether it's an outdoor affair, a beach ceremony, or a chic city loft, your surroundings can guide your fashion choices. Be practical – if it's an outdoor event, think about footwear that won't sink into the grass.Â
3. Layer Up for Comfort
The unpredictable nature of wedding temperatures calls for strategic planning. Always bring a layer or jacket to stay comfortable throughout the day and evening festivities. You never know when a cool breeze might sweep through.
4. Know the Colour Palette
While it's essential to know the wedding's colour palette, avoid dressing in the exact shades chosen by the couple to prevent any confusion with the bridal party. You don't want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid unintentionally.
