Fabulous Guest Looks For A Summer Wedding

If your refrigerator door looks anything like mine right now, it is filled with wedding invites and save the dates for close family and friends.  Wedding season is in full swing, and that often leaves guests wondering what they should wear for the occasion. 

Perhaps the biggest question to answer when planning your attire to be a guest at a wedding is what is appropriate.  Of all the weddings I have been to, I have seen some amazing ensembles, and I have seen some total flops.

When putting an outfit together for a wedding here are a few things to consider:

1. Consider the venue; are you going to be outdoors or indoors, is the venue formal or informal?   If the wedding is outdoors in the summer, perhaps think of dressing in something sleeveless.  However, if you get cold easily like I do, consider taking a sweater along for the evening when the reception is either inside or the air cools off in the evening for a reception that will be held outside. 

2. What time of day is the wedding; afternoon or evening?  If the wedding is in the early to mid afternoon, chances are the dress code is going to be slightly less formal than if you are attending an evening wedding.  

Here are a few amazing looks for this summers wedding season!






 
    
If skirts are more your thing, here are a couple of options






One final tip when planning your outfit is to mind your footwear.  If you are going to an outdoor wedding, perhaps think twice before wearing sky high stilettos.  I once watched a guest teeter down the aisle to her seat at a golf course all the while trying not to lose her stiletto to the grass.  If you like the look of a heel but are going to an outdoor wedding, perhaps consider a wedge, which will provide you will more stability when walking on uneven ground such as at a golf course. 

I hope this post has provided you with a few ideas for what to wear to your next summer wedding!  Don't forget to check out our fashion board on Pinterest for more gorgeous ideas!
