One day the day comes when a family is born. Two people decide to turn everything around in life and let in a companion, with whom they will go through life hand in hand. This holiday is called a wedding. Nothing should spoil it, not even a small glimpse of shadow. Everything about it is perfect. Wedding planning begins long before the appointed date. The guests are also preparing for it. Having received an invitation and agreed, they must be prepared in advance for the conditions to be dictated by the newlyweds.
Wedding dress code
All guests adhere to the chosen wedding scenario. Scenario options are limited to the following topics.
Color spectrum . The chosen color (lilac, emerald, lavender, sand, rainbow colors) implies dresses, suits, shirts of this color.
Topic . The clothing style is selected: retro, masquerade, Indian theme, fantasy.
Free choice . Guests choose an outfit of their own choosing.
Creative . This option is not often in fashion. This look is chosen by rockers, sexual minorities, fans of clubs or trends.
Specifics . Bridesmaids should wear the same styles.
General recommendations
Each modern wedding is individual in its own way: some adhere to traditions, others organize themed events, there is a third option - color, which implies that the guests and the entire surroundings of the event have a single color solution. For the first of these situations, an unspoken dress code has been formed:
- do not wear white (the prerogative of the bride) and black (an inappropriate hint of grief);
- refuse overly sexualized images (deep neckline, ultra-mini, tight-fitting style, over the knee boots, “naked” dresses);
- avoid the everyday look (jeans, sweaters, sports sweaters will definitely not fit into the holiday atmosphere);
- Focus on the wedding venue and the chosen style; you need to choose an evening outfit for the restaurant; and for an outdoor ceremony by the lake, a cute sundress in the boho style is also suitable.
Themed weddings require imagination and resourcefulness in choosing a costume. Situations where the bride and groom have settled on a certain color scheme for their big day cause distaste for most people. They feel like they are being limited or coerced. In fact, the heroes of the occasion are only trying to streamline the overall appearance of the holiday, and if this makes them a little happier, then why not?
Fashionable colors for the autumn-winter season include:
- ocher shades (cinnamon, mustard, chocolate);
- dark red (Bordeaux, brick, wine);
- delicate “candy” (pink, yellow, blue, light green);
- variations of beige (cream, flesh, light sand, creamy);
- “cool” shades (light gray, lilac, gray).
Rule for choosing colors for guests
Adviсe:
- You cannot choose white. This advantage is given to the bride
- Black color is quite gloomy for a wedding ceremony. A men's suit should be a couple of shades lighter. For a woman, a “little black dress”, complemented by some kind of accessory, is acceptable.
- “No” to leopard print.
- “Yes” - checkered, striped, color print.
- Bright, rich fabrics are always in the spotlight.
- Accessories: tinted, matching, with elements of “predatory” colors always add a “zest” to an outfit.
Adviсe
Useful tips:
- A discreet outfit can be complemented with accessories: an elegant clutch, a beautiful necklace or beads, a bracelet or a strap.
- If you are going to a celebration with your chosen one, then the guy also needs to look presentable. He can wear a suit or a looser set - elegant trousers with a shirt. In addition, his outfit should match the girl’s dress so that the couple looks harmonious.
- To avoid awkward situations, bring extra tights with you in case yours get torn, as well as a needle and thread to match your dress, so you can tidy up your outfit if necessary.
- You should not wear casual items such as jeans, jumper, shorts, etc.
- Remember that your outfit should not be too revealing or vulgar.
Now feel free to go to the store and choose an outfit for a winter wedding.
Rule for choosing a style for guests
Since the solemnity of the moment presupposes an official part, the outfit cannot be in a sports style (unless this is provided for in the invitation).
A discreet, comfortable classic will be appropriate during competitions, photo shoots, and also on the dance floor.
For men, a classic two-three piece with a colorful shirt and a stylish tie will suit you.
If guests come in the status of a couple, this may be reflected in accessories, for example, a handbag-tie or a “butterfly” neckerchief.
For guests with children, we can recommend the “family look” :
- color,
- style,
- material,
- accent,
- style,
- print.
Suitable styles for your body type
Wedding guest dresses should be chosen taking into account the type of female figure. For example, if a woman has an apple , classic and Greek style outfits would be an excellent solution. Short evening dresses for weddings are not advisable. It is better if the outfit is slightly below the knee. Maxi options are also suitable. To visually narrow your waist, you should choose a model with an A-line silhouette.
Thanks to flowing materials, the waistline is visually reduced in volume. True, there should be no decorative elements in the abdominal area. Otherwise, emphasis will be created on the problem area.
For those with an inverted triangle body shape, it is extremely important to balance your hips and shoulders. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a wedding dress for such ladies with an A-line silhouette , where the main emphasis is on the waist. The skirt can be fluffy or slightly flared. Options with a peplum are also perfect.
Clothes for ladies with a pear are selected in such a way as to reduce the volume of the hips. In this case, an excellent solution would be bateau cutouts and accents created in the upper part. Additional volume should be created in the shoulders. For example, frills, flounces and sleeves in the form of lanterns will look original.
For a rectangular body type, fitted outfits are suitable. A belt will help highlight the waist area. They can be either wide or narrow. Scented options are also suitable. They help create the most elegant, feminine image.
hourglass figure , choosing beautiful wardrobe items is the easiest way. In fact, in this case there are no restrictions. The cut can be absolutely anything. Decorative elements can be located in any part of the product.
Dress style for a wedding
Dress "Sheath" - comfortable, feminine, stylish.
“Mullet” is an elegant model with an asymmetrical hem, somewhat shortened at the knees.
Floor-length maxi is ideal for a wedding evening.
If your neckline is open, you should have a scarf over your shoulders or a bolero to attend the wedding sacrament.
Winter and autumn ensembles
For a wedding, the best choice would be light and elastic products that do not restrict movement and provide comfort to wear. Even in winter, you should not wear heavy woolen or knitted sets. It's hot, uncomfortable and inconvenient to move and dance in such things.
The best choice for entertaining in a cafe or restaurant would be a festive trouser set made of crepe, brocade, satin or silk. Things based on combined fabrics with the addition of synthetics will be useful. These can be single-breasted or double-breasted models, classic suits.
European rules of etiquette
Recently, it has been fashionable to have weddings in romantic cities: Paris, Venice, Rome. In this case, it is worth complying with European standards:
Older ladies should not wear sleeveless clothes. Cover the elbow joint with a “Three Quarter” sleeve. Skirt length “Just below the knee” is considered good form.
What to consider when choosing a dress for a wedding
Age characteristics . What would look ideal on ladies of Balzac's age (trouser suits, dresses in noble colors) would look ridiculous on young girls. They are more suitable for light colors, bright outfits, more open, shorter models.
Venue of the holiday. Luxurious images will look extravagant at a budget wedding.
Season . Weather conditions influence the choice of holiday clothing. In winter, you should not dress in thin fabrics. Warmer material is not only more appropriate in this situation, but will also create an atmosphere of comfort.
Short, lightweight items can be worn in the autumn-spring season, combined with insulated elements: over the knee boots, tights from 50 denier.
Strapless models are suitable for hot weather. Lightweight fabrics and flowing styles will make your figure more attractive.
Dress length . Depending on the size of the woman’s figure, she chooses the acceptable length of her skirt. It is important that it does not look vulgar.
Fabrics and textures . Lace is a fashion trend. The lace silhouette fits well on any age and weight category.
Stylish look . The combination of shoes, hairstyle, accessories, manicure, makeup creates a stylish look. Less decorative cosmetics and hairspray. The more natural the image, the more glances are drawn to it.
Pleating is a tenderness that has experienced more than its first wave of youth. Looks flirty in any color scheme.
Witness! Best friend, by your side all evening. Of course, her role is important, her appearance is “on point.” The goal is not to overshadow the bride, but to emphasize her unearthly beauty with your charm.
Review of the best models
The styles of dresses for a wedding should be studied in advance in the photo. This will make choosing the right option much easier. For example, the “gatsby” option deserves attention. The cut in this case is straight and the waist is slightly narrowed. The neckline is quite deep and the back is open. Often the outfit is decorated with embroidery, fringe, stones or feathers. Such models allow you to visually narrow your waist and make your silhouette more graceful.
The classic option is the case. This dress is suitable for the bride and guests. To make your outfit look festive, preference should be given to silk or satin fabrics. You can find long dresses and short ones on sale. Young ladies can choose from models of any length. For older women, it is best to wear a midi.
baby-doll dresses deserve special attention . Such models are perfect for young ladies. The length in this case can also be midi or mini. A wedding is a great reason to choose the first option. With its help, the image turns out to be sophisticated and quite gentle. Such models can be chosen by girls going to their sister’s celebration.
fish model is ideal for this event. The silhouette in this case is tight-fitting, flared at the bottom. With the help of such clothes, a sophisticated, graceful image is created. The main thing is that movement in this robe is not constrained.
Current colors

Black
The severity and mystery of a black outfit will be especially appreciated if the outfit is paired with stiletto heels, thin tights and an extravagant bag.

Refinement and chastity. If you want to wear something light, we recommend a milky or champagne shade.
How to create a complete image
The invitation card is given in advance. This happens because the newlyweds are given a long period of time to prepare and test their feelings. You can use this gift of fate to create your own unique image.
There is no need to run out and buy the first thing you come across, and then get upset when you see your reflection in the mirror, or feel awkward at the celebration.
Having planned your shopping, you need to look at fashion magazines, evaluate the best design solutions, estimate your physical capabilities and budget. Get advice from a stylist or makeup artist.

Important Details

- Wearing more than three pieces of jewelry is too much.
- Rings, earrings, bracelet - in the same style!
- The bracelet matches the short sleeves
- A long-sleeve item is accentuated by beads and voluminous earrings.
- High heels will suit any style.
- Strap shoes go with a flared skirt
- Tandem pleisse and open-toe sandals.
- A miniature handbag is contraindicated for overweight ladies.
What to wear for a man
Adviсe
- It's better to save jeans and sportswear for another occasion.
- Light-colored trousers do not go well with a dark belt and shoes.
- A tie will not match a short-sleeved shirt.
Outfit
In winter, it is best for men to wear a suit made of warm fabric to a wedding:
- tweed;
- corduroy;
- velvet;
- cashmere;
- woolen;
- or velor.
But any color scheme is possible, except white, otherwise you will merge with nature. Chocolate, blue and brown versions of the suits look great.
If the dress code does not specify an official uniform, then you can wear trousers and a vest without a jacket.
Don't forget about bright accents; the shirt, tie or bow should be catchy, for example, purple, green, red or burgundy. Such shades will remove unnecessary formality from the male guest’s image.
Warm up for a walk
A drape coat or a thin sheepskin coat will look great as outerwear, but it’s better to avoid bright down jackets. If your winter is not cold, then it’s great to wear a cardigan, sometimes a warm jacket is enough.
If your choice falls on a jacket, then make sure that the jacket does not stick out from under it.
Shoes
Like girls, men need to take a spare pair of shoes with them. Warm boots are suitable for a walk in the open air in winter, and classic shoes for a banquet.
Now you know what guests should wear to such a wonderful event as the wedding of loved ones. We wish you to have a lot of fun at the holiday and, of course, stay warm during this wonderful winter season.
