Wedding Guest Dresses and Formal Evening Dresses
Traditional wedding etiquette indicates that wedding guest dresses should definitely not be off-white, cream, ivory, or any shade or hue of white, as these colors are reserved for the bride. When choosing your dress for a wedding, it’s a good idea to pay close attention to the invitation you received. The wedding invitation will indicate the level of formality, type of wedding you’ll be attending, and should provide clues to the dress code for the event. If the invitation states formal or black tie, this suggests an elegant formal soiree. You should explore the floor-length evening dresses and formal dresses for wedding guests to find a long figure-flattering wedding guest dress. If the invitation states casual, or daytime, this indicates the ceremony and celebration will be less formal. Shop this collection of special occasion dresses that includes, short sun dresses, high-low print dresses, and short semi-formal dresses to find the ideal wedding guest dress for a casual or daytime wedding.

We understand that choosing an appropriate wedding guest dress can be perplexing. It’s best to abide by common wedding etiquette and follow the traditional rules. Don’t wear white or ivory, avoid wearing the same shade or color as the bridal party, and in general just don’t attempt to outshine the bride. After all, this couple graciously extended you an invitation to share in a momentous occasion in their lives, so it is best to be respectful, and remember you are there to love, support, and witness these nuptials, not garner attention. Another important thing to consider when choosing your dress for wedding is the weather. Choose a light breathable material such as chiffon or charmeuse for a outdoor or beach wedding. For ultra-formal celebrations, try the polished and trendy look of a full-length satin off-the-shoulder evening dress. If you’re still unsure of what type of wedding guest dress to wear, check with the bride, maid of honor, or another member of the bridal party for dress code advice.
