THE WEDDING GUEST

Wedding season is just around the corner and with my sister's nuptials fast approaching in the early Fall, I've been on the hunt! Wedding guest dresses are probably my biggest request when it comes to special event styling. People often love themselves in white or black dresses so when they need to purchase something different, it can be overwhelming. My favorite is the blush trend for wedding parties and guests. If a bride is ok with everyone in colors similar to hers, it makes for a beautiful photo! My bridesmaids all wore black which paired well with the backdrop of New York City, but a neutral monochromatic story would be my top choice today. Here are some other wedding guest dress tips:

  • I always say you don't have to rule black out but make sure your dress has some style to it. For example, find one that has is a one-shoulder, has a asymmetrical hem, or is textured. I love black satin for a city wedding
  • This style would make the perfect bridesmaid dress for a garden wedding
  • Black tie doesn't mean gown anymore. A midi dress or very dressy cocktail length is completely appropriate. If youre still unsure but are not close enough to the bride and groom to ask (AKA your husband's boss is getting married) you can always reach out to the venue. White tie = full length gown!
