One of the most fun, and also the most agonizing parts of being a wedding guest is figuring out what to wear. Even if the invitation clearly states the dress code, it can be tricky to find an appropriate dress. Here are my suggestions for what to wear to every type of spring wedding.
Women should wear bright, colorful sundresses to afternoon or outdoor weddings. However, the skirt of the dress shouldn't be too full to avoid mishaps if a breeze picks up. Flat shoes work best for outdoor weddings as heels tend to sink into the sand or grass. Slacks and a nice blouse or lightweight sweater work for spring weddings occurring at any time of the day. Or, pair a nice short-sleeved sweater with a long skirt featuring a floral pattern. Formal evening weddings require something fancier such as a cocktail dress. Black is best for black-tie events, but deep purples, blues and burgundy are nice choices for formal evening weddings. You can wear light pastel makeup, even neutral tones or bright colored lipstick or eyeshadow. If you dress up the eyes, leave the lips neutral or vice versa for a balanced look. And let's be honest....your sweetie never knows the wedding dress code.
Here are a few tips for your man's attire. Casual spring weddings call for a nice pair of khakis or slacks with a buttoned-up shirt or polo shirt. Colors can range from white to various shades or blue or other bright or pastel colors. Light-colored suits in lighter fabrics are nice for semiformal or formal spring weddings, as are slacks and a nice lightweight sweater. Ties are optional for semiformal occasions, but they should be adorned for formal weddings. Black-tie events always include tuxedos, no matter what the season.
