Wedding Fashion Tips

If you’re going to be a guest at a wedding, you want to stand out. While you don’t want to take away from the bride, you certainly want to look your best. Here are a few wedding fashion tips to help you make a great impression without upstaging the bride. Coast also has a great selection of dresses. 

1. Choose the right color

If you’re agonizing over the color of your dress for the wedding, stop. There are two main colors you need to avoid – black and white. Black is too dark and some people consider it funeral attire. White is too close to the color of the bride’s dress. Avoid choosing a dress that’s any shade of white. Even off-white is too similar.

If you absolutely must wear white, there are a few ways you might be able to make it work. Pick a white dress with a pattern. And be sure it has no lace on it. Your accessories should be bright and colorful. Whatever you do, don’t wear a long white dress.

2. Choose the right accessories

Wedding accessories should be simple. Some brides have gorgeous rose gold engagement rings and tiaras. You don’t need all that flair. As a guest, go simple. But that doesn’t mean you have to put the pearls away. You still want your accessories to look real. Even if they’re not, be sure to choose accessories that look real and natural.

To keep things simple, avoid wearing loud jewelry combinations. You shouldn’t wear a necklace with big earrings; just stick with the earrings. Likewise, you shouldn’t wear a necklace if you have a dress with a fancy neckline. The key to tasteful wedding accessories is simplicity.

3. Follow the dress code

We all know how annoying dress codes can be. But they are there for a reason. And it is a special day for the bride and groom. Why make their day more stressful by ignoring the dress code? As much as it might pain you to do so, stick to the code. You might find that it makes it a little easier to pick out your outfit. With fewer options, the decision is simpler.

4. Leave the clunky purse at home

A wedding is a chic occasion. Your favorite bag might be a beautiful satchel that holds all of your necessities. But give your satchel a break at the wedding. For a chic look, go with a clutch. There’s no need to bring too many things with you, so you don’t need much space. And clutches come in so many shapes and sizes. Picking out a new clutch might be as fun as picking out your dress.

5. Indulge yourself

In addition to wearing the right clothes, you need to take care of yourself. A wedding is a great excuse to get pampered. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure. Get your hair styled at your favorite salon. You may even want to hit the spa for a facial. Don’t be afraid to pamper yourself. After it’s all done, you’ll be able to look and feel your best.
