Choosing an attire for a wedding may seem an easy task until the due date ripens that is when you realize that despite your heavy wardrobe, you have hardly have a thing to wear. Luckily, the trends have revolutionized, you can almost wear anything to a wedding as long as you are not trashy because the critics are watching. Turn up to your friend’s wedding by a rocking an outfit that will give respect and honor to the ceremony. Follow these steps to guide you through.
It should fit well
No matter how gorgeous it is, if a dress doesn’t fit well, consider it a waste. If you must, spend a little less on a gown, and put the money you saved toward making sure the bodice and hem are tailored to perfection. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Accessorize it
Like the saying goes, it is better to be over dressed than under dressed. Try giving your outfit a different touch. Am aware of how much ladies hate it when they collide with someone wearing their dresses. It is beef at first sight but accessorizing your outfit could save you and make you different.
Not only can a belt help accentuate your figure, but it’s an underrated and unexpected accessory that will get you major style points. Just be sure to choose something that matches and is formal. Depending on your dress, that can be anything from satin to metal to grosgrain.
Coordinate your clutch
It is common for some unstylish ladies to carry their large bags to weddings; this is so wrong. Of all the bags in the world, clutches are the ones we’re probably least likely to buy or own multiple of. My secret for always having my clutch match my dress perfectly is borrowing one. Between your mom, friends, and sisters, someone is bound to have the clutch for you. Plus, most of the time, something metallic or black will work, but bonus points for nailing the perfect complementary shade. It makes a difference.
Don’t let casual take control
This rule should be obvious, but some guests still think it’s acceptable at certain venues. I’m going to make it very clear for everyone: Jeans are never allowed—no excuses. Not everyone knows how to rock casual in a corporate way. Unless specifically told by the bride and groom that they’re having jean and t-shirt nuptials, trade in your Levi’s for a pair of khakis or slacks.
Shoe code
Put on wedges if it’s an outdoor wedding or your amazing stilettos will get ruined from sinking into the grass. Wear shoes that you can wear all day and night, or take some flats with you.
