Whenever I get an invitation to a wedding, the first thing that pops into my mind is, “What should I wear?” When thinking about this, you have to take into consideration so many things: is the wedding during the day or at night? Is it formal or semi-formal? Are there any cultural traditions that might offend someone? The whole process can be pretty stressful for a wedding guest.
So, I was excited when I discovered The Knot’s Wedding Guest Attire Cheat Sheet. This is a great guide for someone who is trying to determine the meaning of terms like white tie, beach formal and dressy casual.
Also, to avoid any major faux paus check out the article that was featured today on Yahoo’s homepage: “9 Things You Should Never Wear to a Wedding.” Below are just a few of the recommendations that caught our attention:
1. White is Not Right - It is still the case that only the bride should be dressed in white. Period.
2. Limit the Sparkle – The article recommends that you avoid anything lame, sequined or glittery. Let the bride shine at her own event.
3. Jeans are Not Dressy Under any Circumstances - Forgo casual fare unless the invitation specifies that the event is casual. This also goes for engagement parties–never wear jeans to event like this. It is just a big no-no.
