Attending a wedding this year and not sure what to wear?  I’ve pulled my top tips & tricks for figuring it out, along with my favorite picks of the moment (all up to 25% off with code ‘BIGEVENT16‘!

The most important thing to remember when choosing an outfit for any wedding is that you want to look stylish while still feeling confidant and comfortable (a major key!) With that being said, you never want to upstage the bride, so here are a few things to remember:

1. Never, ever, ever wear white to a wedding. This includes any pre-wedding festivities like a rehearsal dinner, engagement party or bridal shower! Let the bride have her moment. I’m equally as wary of dresses that have other color in them, but are the majority white. If you have to question it – move on! It’s not worth it. The only exception to this rule is if the invite specifically requests guests to wear white!
2. Try to remember to be conscientious of location – is the ceremony on the beach? In a church? Make sure to pick an outfit that fits the exact scenario (feel free to refer to the invite for a little direction in what the bride and groom expect!) For example, the sheer paneling on #5, and the peek of tummy on #8 make them slightly inappropriate for a ceremony that’s in a church, but either could be a perfect option for a rehearsal dinner!
3. Wearing black to a wedding used to be taboo, but these days its completely appropriate for a fancier evening! My favorites from above are #1, #6, and #10.
4. Last but not least, it’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed. If an invite says ‘black tie optional’ err on the side of caution and wear a long dress. Like your mama always said, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
