Being invited to a wedding brings excitement and sometimes, worries, especially if you don’t know what to wear. If it’s a beach wedding, you need to make sure that you’re not overdressed or underdressed. If you’re still wondering what you should wear to the wedding, keep in mind that your attire will depend on a number of factors:
Style, Location and Attitude
If the bride and groom decide on making their wedding celebration out of the ordinary, you can expect the event to be unique. This means that you should choose the right outfit that will blend well with the occasion.
When choosing your attire, always consider three things: style, location and the attitude of the bride and groom. Don’t rush when choosing your outfit. Take the dress code into consideration. While it’s a beach wedding, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should wear something sexy or skimpy. Check the dress code and you can never go wrong.
For Women
If you’re attending a beach wedding, you can choose between semiformal and dressy attire. You don’t have to stick to one color. In fact, you can choose a colorful dress. If the wedding will be held in summer, you can consider wearing nice sandals. Avoid wearing flip-flops as it’s inappropriate. You can only wear flip-flops if the bride and groom decide to have a casual beach wedding. Take note of the weather as well. It can get cold or windy so don’t forget to bring a sweater, jacket, shawl, or wrap.
For Men
It’s not only women that should make an effort to wear something nice for a beach wedding. Even men should take an extra step to wear something that matches the occasion. Pair your suit with a pastel-colored tie. Your suit works well with a less coordinated shirt as well. If the wedding doesn’t require you to be dressy, a sports coat will do. Check the invitation to find out more about the attire you should wear. As much as possible, you should put your best foot forward and wear appropriate shoes.
Don’t wear white
The bride considers her wedding day as the most special day of her life. It’s her time to stand out and be noticed. While it’s an old-school rule, only the bride should wear white. All eyes should be on the bride, but if you wear white, you’re taking the attention away from her. You may need to pick another color regardless of how flattering the dress is. Besides, when you wear white, you might bump into someone asking you if you’re the one who will get married. It’s going to be an awkward situation.
Accessorize
Being a wedding guest gives you the chance to dress well. Don’t limit yourself. Accessorize to complete the look. Be sure not to wear anything that sparkles so much. You might turn into a human disco ball. Choose accessories that will complement your attire. Avoid wearing a large handbag as it will only ruin your outfit. Go for a smaller bag so you don’t look like you have brought the entire closet with you.
If the wedding is during the day, you might need to take some time to check some additional details on the invitation. It’s your guide to dressing appropriately.
