What to Wear to a Wedding?

Excited about attending a friend's wedding this summer? Fretting over what to wear as the guest of a wedding this summer? Check below to find our editor's picks for every venue of wedding. To find the right dress, the first step is to determine the venue and make your selection based on the setting. If you are attending a dressy evening wedding, opt for cocktail dresses in silk charmeuse, chiffon or other deluxe fabrics. Both long and short dresses can be worn. Black tie weddings generally call for long, elegant, formal gowns. These can be in a variety of fabrics that create a polished and refined finishing look. Garden weddings are typically a bit more casual and lively which are why daytime dresses (i.e. sundresses) make suitable choices. And last, but not least, maxi dresses are wonderful options for island and resort weddings.

What happens in Las Vegas


The sin city is often known for spur-of-the-moment weddingss but also unconventional guest of wedding looks! If the ceremony is in a church followed by clubbing, don't be afraid to dress in something a bit more festive and fun. If the bride and groom have opted for the famous themed nuptials; embrace the challenge. It is not very often you can wear Elvis glasses to a wedding. Do keep in mind the heat factor in Vegas. Cotton and linen are great fabrics that help combat the heat and often found in very wedding-friendly looks!
