Wedding Invitation in Hand – What to Wear

You’ve received a wedding invitation but don’t know what to wear…take cues from the event time and place to solve your wardrobe dilemma.

Country-Club Wedding

Stick to a conservative dress in pastel hues for a country club event.  A dark edgy couture outfit would be strikingly out-of-place for this setting.  Add a sunhat and preppy accessories.  If cocktail hour is outside, stick to wedge sandals or flats so you don’t poke stiletto holes in the greens.

Black Tie Bash

Opt for an elegant full-length gown, black or black-and-white are always classic choices (of course, pure white for a wedding guest is always a no-no!)  Add gloves if your date is also going all out in a tux at this night-time event.  Heels, jewels, clutch – this is an opportunity go all out.

Justice of the Peace Witness

Wear a simple tailored suit or classic sheath dress in a muted color if you have been invited to a minimalist Justice of the Peace occasion.

Las Vegas Party Nuptials

This is the time to wear that bright and fun cocktail dress and sky-high heels.  Just be sure that your outfit is comfortable enough to last you from the ceremony to reception to nightclub to casino…

Beach I Do’s

Be comfortable in a long floral print maxi dress and simple shawl or wrap if the forecast calls for a cool evening.  Skip expensive  shoes and instead choose decorative flip-flops or gladiator sandals.
