Wedding Guest Outfit Tips

As a wedding guest, you want to look great while letting the bride and groom shine the best. 

  • Dress as per the occasion. Your outfit should match the event you are attending.
  • Respect and follow the required dress code.
  • Wedding goes for long hours with a lot of sitting, standing, walking and dancing. Choose breathable fabrics to feel comfortable throughout the event.
  • The right accessories can elevate your outfit and make you feel great.

Do's and Don'ts 

Do's

  • Dress as per the weather. For a summer wedding, opt for light fabrics and breezy silhouettes. For a winter wedding wear a shawl or jacket. 
  • Indian weddings are all about vibrant hues and shades, so experiment with colours. 
  • Pay attention to each and every small detail, the little things add up.

Don'ts

  • Wear white or black carefully. In many communities, both colours signify mourning. Only in Christian weddings, white is only for the bride.
  • Don't overdo it, you don't want to over sparkle your bling.
  • Painful and uncomfortable heels or footwear can be a nightmare.

Useful Tips 

  • Start shopping early, at least before 3 or 4 months if you’re a bride or family or a close relative. And a month before if you’re attending the event as a guest.
  • Always check the weather, season, venue and time of the event.
  • Even if you’re completely sure what to buy, still try to explore different styles once.
  • Remember to bring your own accessories while shopping to experiment and match them with the outfit to get an idea of how your final look will be.
  • Get a Second Opinion. Try to ask or get advice from a person you believe who has a nice fashion sense or matches your aesthetic taste.
