How should newlyweds, witnesses and guests dress for a wedding?

The first thing people pay attention to at a wedding is the bride’s outfit. She is the “queen” of this celebration. However, clothing for the groom is no less important. After all, he “accompanies” the bride throughout the holiday, and the eyes of those around her are, of course, focused on him. Guests, before going to the ceremony, also think about how to dress beautifully for a wedding in 2022 fashion. Everyone wants to look beautiful, elegant, modern. By the way, the seasons also largely influence the choice of outfits. Therefore, the options for what to wear to a wedding in the fall of 2022, or in the spring, summer, or winter, will differ significantly.

Before going to such an important event, so as not to lose face, look through glossy magazines about wedding wardrobes, study this year's fashion trends

Fashionable clothes for a wedding in 2022 according to the seasons

The most popular time of year to get married is definitely summer . However, the other three “representatives” also do not go unnoticed. Depending on what time of year the wedding is planned, outfits are chosen. This is influenced primarily by the weather. It is logical to assume that in summer you will not wear fur, and in winter you will not wear a light, flowy dress above the knee.

How to dress for a wedding in the summer in 2022?

If we are talking about newlyweds, and in particular, about the bride, then this season there are practically no restrictions . Anything unusual, non-standard is possible; the white dress has long since sunk into oblivion. Therefore, if you are an exotic lover, hurry up: 2022 is ideal for getting married in an unusual dress.

If we are talking about guests of the celebration, then the question of what to wear to a wedding in the summer needs to be considered from different angles.

The easiest choice is what to wear to a wedding when the wedding is themed . Have you already received invitations, where the style of the celebration is indicated and details about the preferred outfits are written? Then you just go to the appropriate stores, choose the perfect outfit and go to the celebration. But if the event does not have clear restrictions, what then should be done?

Here are 3 golden rules of what not to wear to a wedding:

  1. Say no to black and white . In any case, these 2 colors remain standard, familiar to newlyweds. The bride is white, the groom is black. Even if young people have not chosen these colors, it is still better to try to avoid them. It’s even better to check with them before the holiday what shades their outfits will be, so as not to draw attention to yourself at the ceremony. A bright bride in red and a bridesmaid in a dress of the same color will look ridiculous.
  2. “No” to frankness and vulgarity . A wedding is, first and foremost, a family holiday. Even if your goal for the day is to find a new romantic partner, this does not mean that a backless minidress and an open neckline will be appropriate. Keep your style discreet and elegant.
  3. Follow a specific dress code . Even if no specific theme is defined, this does not mean that the wedding will be free-style (unless it is indicated in the invitation). Always be of the opinion that you should dress beautifully and formally for a wedding.

But recently, weddings have begun to be organized in completely free styles . Especially when the ceremony takes place somewhere in warm countries. It could be:

  1. A wedding in sneakers, when the newlyweds are dressed in standard wedding clothes and have comfortable sneakers . This is also comfortable: standing in heels all day is not so easy. Wedding sneakers, by the way, can be purchased at any sports or shoe store, there are no restrictions. The basic rule is that sneakers for a wedding should be comfortable, not rub your feet, and be the right size. Before the celebration, even such shoes need to be worn in for several days.
  2. Wedding in T-shirts and shorts. Everyone can be dressed in this way: both young people and guests. And what? On a hot day under the scorching sun , this is an ideal option.
  3. Wedding in T-shirts or wedding in shorts. An interesting option: wear only T-shirts , and leave the bottom classic. Or do the opposite: leave the top classic (blouses for girls, shirts for men), and use comfortable shorts . Weddings in shorts are not uncommon now, and the photographs turn out to be non-standard; after all, we are used to seeing the newlyweds and guests in formal, strict suits. But again, it would be appropriate to wear shorts to a wedding only if this point has been agreed upon in advance.

Bride and groom in T-shirts: hot summer is not a hindrance
You already understand what to wear to a wedding in the heat, but how to dress up if it’s summer outside, but not hot ? For example:

  1. Wedding kimonos. In this case, you can celebrate the holiday in Japanese style , decorate the room with sakura (even artificial ones look great), discuss with the guests so that they do their hair a la geisha (for women) and dress up in clothes that suit the theme. The menu for such a celebration may be based on seafood. However, due to the heat, they can quickly spoil, so you should take care in advance of the safety of the food on the table. This kind of food is definitely not suitable for a street event.
  2. Slavic wedding dress. You can pay tribute to traditions and prepare a wedding in Russian-folk style . It is better to celebrate such a holiday somewhere in the village, order a horse-drawn carriage, and set a table right on the street. It will be a noisy, fun party. Instead of a toastmaster, you can ask one of the village residents to play the accordion and sing songs. All guests will have to wear Russian wedding attire, otherwise such an event will be extremely inappropriate.
  3. Light cape for shoulders . There is no theme here, but there is a functional component - the shoulders and arms will be covered, which is important, for example, at a temperature of 17-19 degrees.
  4. A wedding in tracksuits is quite possible, especially if the newlyweds are athletes . Usually their lifestyle is such that their clothes rarely change to formal and classic outfits, so it’s more common for young people to wear “sweatpants” to a wedding, and even more so, the guests will rejoice at such a fad. Here, by the way, wedding sneakers would be appropriate, which can be purchased both in a special salon for newlyweds and in a regular sports store. A wedding in sneakers and comfortable tracksuits: what could be bolder and more unusual?

How to dress for a wedding in autumn and spring in 2022?

Early autumn is the second most popular time of year for a wedding celebration. Bright colors of foliage, pleasant temperature for outdoor activities: isn’t this the best option?

For an autumn wedding, bridesmaid dresses are slightly modified. They are made from thicker material, some styles have long sleeves, and for cold weather there are even options with fur (though this is still a winterier option). If you have chosen a short-sleeve outfit, but are afraid of getting cold, women's wedding outerwear for autumn will come to the rescue. These can be all kinds of capes, raincoats, short coats, boleros, jackets.

You can even purchase multiple options in anticipation of unexpected weather forecast changes.

A standard suit is selected for the wedding witness and the groom: trousers, shirt, jacket and tie. This is provided that the holiday will not have a specific theme for which you will have to choose an outfit.

What wedding looks does fashion offer for guests in the fall? Here are a few nuances of choosing clothes :

  • office dress code is not suitable for a wedding;
  • the best choice is, of course, a dress;
  • if it is cool enough outside, then an alternative to a dress can be a suit (skirt + jacket, blouse or similar trouser option), but it is important that it does not resemble an office look;
  • For a simple wedding, choose a less pretentious outfit.

If you still don't know what to wear to a wedding in September, October or November, a little black dress will save you

It's a win-win. But don't forget about the weather, take a cape, raincoat, coat and, of course, an umbrella.

Spring weather is most often similar to autumn, so when choosing outfits, use the tips above.

How to dress for a wedding in winter 2022?

In winter the situation is more complicated. It is worth paying attention to shoes and even headwear. Winters can be harsh, and at minus 30 you can’t do without a fur hat or at least a warm scarf. Otherwise, there is a risk of developing a fever after the event.

If, for example, at your holiday you are not planning standard rituals: a trip along the bridges of your city, significant places and to the Eternal Flame, then feel free to choose absolutely any style you like, even a tutu . Now nothing can surprise anyone! But if part of the event will still take place on the street, then you can’t do without a long hem of the dress, which will protect your legs from the cold, wedding ugg boots or even felt boots (suitable for a wedding in the Russian folk style). You can stylishly decorate your head with a warm shawl. And, of course, you can’t do without a beautiful fur coat or elegant coat.

Absolutely the same insulation rules apply for holiday guests.

Cool wedding outfits

Not only the newlyweds, but also the guests of the ceremony want to dress stylishly for a wedding. Still, such holidays happen rarely, but everyone wants to look beautiful in photographs. Usually photo sessions are carried out by professionals, so it’s better that the “suit fits” like a glove, so that you don’t end up getting upset about the photos in which you are the very person who ruins the pictures.


Stylish outfits for the wedding of the bride and groom

Here are the most popular wedding looks of 2022 that can be used as an idea for the entire event:

  1. Vintage . There is quite a lot of space here. You just have to choose your favorite era. It could be the low-key 30s or the fun 60s.
  2. Red and black . Typically, newlyweds rarely choose these colors as a base. But if you want to stand out, or maybe you just love the gothic style, then this is the perfect option.
  3. Country style. He is very popular now. Are you wondering how to dress up for such a wedding? Everything is very simple: cowboy boots on your feet, a flower wreath on your head and a simple dress on your body, and you are the standard of beauty at the celebration! For a man, this is a wide-brimmed hat, stylish boots with low heels, a plaid shirt and a jacket.
  4. Bright touches. Here the flight of imagination is not limited. If you don’t want something too unusual and creative at your wedding, but still want to add some zest, then you can add some small but bright touch, for example, to the bride’s outfit. This could be a bright pattern on a dress made of sequins. Or maybe your wedding is planned in one laconic color, but you want to add bright colors? Dilute delicate pastel colors with rich red or sunny yellow in small details.
  5. Ombre. It turns out that now this coloring method is popular not only in hairstyles, but also in clothes. By the way, you can combine these 2 things and make the same palette both on your head and in your dress. Believe me, the guests will be shocked at first, but later they will like this idea.
  6. Pantsuit. Don't want a standard dress? Then stylish suits with trousers will come to your aid. It's much more comfortable.
  7. Tutu skirt . But the question immediately arises, what to wear with a tutu skirt to a wedding? It is unlikely that such an outfit can be called standard, so there is no need to be shy and choose a laconic top that slightly smoothes out the seething and shocking bottom. For an especially bright look, wear stockings on your legs in a color slightly darker than the skirt itself.
  8. Floral print . This outfit is suitable for a romantic outdoor wedding. Looks elegant, stylish, fashionable. But men's wedding fashion did not provide for such motifs, so the groom will have to limit himself to something more discreet. Two bright spots at the wedding - perhaps too much!
  9. Casual . This is a fairly simple style, where sneakers, sneakers, stylish jeans, and dresses of a simple cut are absolutely appropriate. All clothes are comfortable, but also look good.

What styles of dresses are there?

On a special day, the outfit should fit the bride perfectly, highlight all the advantages and hide the flaws. Therefore, it is very important to choose the style of a wedding dress according to your body type: hourglass, pear, rectangle, apple or triangle. Those with an hourglass figure are characterized by a clearly defined, narrow waist and equal volume in the shoulders and hips. Girls with a pear-shaped physique have a pronounced hip area and fragile shoulders. The female figure type “rectangle” is characterized by equal volume of shoulders, waist and hips. Girls with an apple-shaped body have large breasts, wide waists and slender legs. The triangle body type has wide shoulders and narrow hips.

Have you determined what body type you have? It's time to choose an outfit for your wedding. Main types of wedding dresses:

  • Ballroom or "Fairy Tale". In this dress you will look like a princess: a tight-fitting bodice and a full skirt. At the same time, the neckline and sleeve style can be of different types. “Fairy Tale” is ideal for any body type, especially pear-shaped. The fitted bodice highlights the bust and waist, while the full skirt hides the belly and hips. This style of dress is not suitable for short girls, since a pompous hem will make it heavier and shorten the silhouette.
  • A-silhouette or "Princess". Wedding dresses of this style create an image of classic sophistication and lightness. The princess style resembles the capital letter A: a slightly high waistline and a skirt that smoothly widens towards the bottom. The A-line dress is ideal for all girls, regardless of body type and height. It favorably emphasizes the slimness of the figure and hides imperfections.
  • Straight or "Column". A dress that fits tightly to the figure is suitable for slender girls with hourglass, rectangle and triangle shapes. Those with a pear and apple body type, as well as curvy brides, should avoid a straight dress, as it emphasizes the abdomen and hips.
  • "Mermaid". Such wedding dresses tightly fit the figure to the knee line or slightly below, from which the skirt flows. Like the “column”, it is perfect for those with a slender hourglass figure, a rectangle or a triangle.

  • Case. The figure-hugging dress is ideal for slender girls with rectangle, triangle and hourglass body types.

  • Tea length dress. The length of the skirt should be below the knee, but above the ankle. In wedding fashion, classic dresses with a tight top and a full skirt are appropriate. Outfits of this style are suitable for girls of all body types.
  • Mini. Short wedding dresses look bold, provocative and attractive. They are perfect for girls with rectangle and triangle body types. Plus size brides should choose other types of dresses.

What is better to wear to a wedding without a celebration?

Here, the desires of the young are usually divided 50/50: some prefer, even at the painting without a celebration, to be dressed in standard wedding attire (the girl’s dress and the groom’s suit ), while the other half chooses a free style. It could even be jeans, a T-shirt and sneakers. There are no restrictions.

When a wedding takes place without a formal part, the newlyweds sign documents exclusively together without the presence of guests

In this case, dressing up is completely optional . Only if you wish it yourself. This is a big plus in financial terms, because you don’t have to buy wedding things, you just choose something from your own wardrobe. By the way, in this case, you can amuse yourself and come to the wedding in funny outfits - no one will forbid you from doing this, and you will have funny memories. The money saved on the celebration can be spent on an interesting photo shoot in these cool clothes.

Combination of wedding image of the bride and groom

The combination of colors in the wedding dresses of the bride and groom is a must. But how can the groom choose an image to match his wedding dress if, according to tradition, he should not see the bride in it before the ceremony? There is a way out: the girl must go to the store with him , the signs do not prohibit this. She will help him in choosing so that the combination of a wedding suit and wedding dress is optimal.

The main rule for a classic wedding is that the groom’s shirt should be slightly lighter than the girl’s dress.

The standard option is for the bride to wear white and the groom to wear black. But now this is a completely optional rule. You can often see young people at a wedding wearing dresses of the same color , for example:

  • bride and groom in beige,
  • the groom in white and the bride in white,
  • both in yellow, blue or red are creative options for bride and groom outfits.

Important nuances


Before you think about what style to have a summer wedding, consider possible surprises in the form of rainy and cloudy days, sweltering heat, and windy weather.

It is worth thinking about organizing a secluded place for guests if the celebration is taking place outdoors. This could be a tent, gazebo, or decorated tent. For a summer destination wedding, consider an outdoor venue and restaurant with a covered terrace located nearby.

It is good if there are fountains on the territory, flower beds and lawns, emphasizing the natural beauty of green foliage. If desired, the deck of the ship acts as a room. Having gone on a holiday trip, guests can relax on the lower and upper platforms, independently choosing the format of the celebration.

Attention! When organizing a wedding celebration in the summer months, carefully calculate your budget. The services of wedding agencies, decorators and florists are much more expensive at this time of year.

What to do if the groom is shorter than the bride?

Do you think it's a problem when the bride is taller than the groom? In fact, this is completely wrong. If you choose the right outfits for both newlyweds and their accessories, then visually their height will be approximately the same. What to do for this:

  1. The bride's hairstyle should not be high. The ideal option is loose curls.
  2. Flat shoes for the bride are a must. In this case, the option with sneakers for an informal wedding or with ballet flats is suitable. Shoes with low heels will allow the groom to add a couple of centimeters in height. But he will have to practice in advance and walk in these boots for several weeks before the wedding.
  3. The groom's outfit should be monochrome, so as not to make him stand out from the crowd. Otherwise, all eyes will be focused on him, and his height will immediately catch your eye. Therefore, focus on the bride's outfit.
  4. Talk to the photographer so that he chooses the right shooting angles. For this purpose, the groom should always be placed in the foreground or filmed not at full height.
  5. Suit style: sleeves of such length that approximately 1 cm of the shirt cuff protrudes from under them; trousers of the maximum permissible length to the middle of the heel of the shoe; a jacket that covers half of the buttocks; maximum fitted cut.

The question of how to dress for a wedding is, perhaps, in the first place when it comes to this celebration. If your imagination and knowledge in color compositions are not up to par, then you can turn to a stylist for help , who will offer you several image options, and you will choose the ideal one for you.

Photoshoot

It is unlikely that you will have to think long about what style you can have for your summer wedding. There are many options for summer photography. An urban “jungle”, a hayloft in a village, an amusement park, a chamomile field, a river bank or a forest clearing – make the most of the vibrant colors of summer and don’t be afraid of bold fantasies. If themed costumes are required, they should be prepared in advance. Think through the storyline and actively include guests in the photography.
