What to wear to a wedding

Ah the sound of wedding bells, the look of the groom watching his bride walk down the aisle and the tears. Weddings can be so beautiful. The focus is meant truly for one person, the bride.

It’s wedding season and we all want to show up in a great dress, whether we’re seeing friends or bringing a date to the event. I thought it would be appropriate to talk about what to wear to a wedding. A wedding is NOT about you. It’s about the bride and everyone attending must respect that. Whatever you wear and how you do your hair remember to keep it low key. You should never outdo the bride. If it’s a black tie wedding keep it simple and classic.

Stay away from red and white. Black is permitted but use accessories so you don’t look like you’re going to a funeral. Don’t go too short. Try to keep the length of the dress about 2-3 inches past your middle finger; you’re not going to a dance club! Take a scarf or a light sweater that will compliment your dress.

A great dress option would be the French Connect Juliet’s Dream Dress. It’s simple with classy lines and you may wear your hair up or down. A short or long pearl necklace and bracelet would be a great finishing touch. A cocktail ring might be too much. Don’t forget the clutch and carry a scarf as wrap for the evening.
