What kind of a dress do you wear to a wedding?

Answer 1

Depends on the time of day and the season. If the wedding is an afternoon wedding you would wear a less formal dress than you would wear in the evening. An evening wedding is a dressy event so you want a dressy dress. A little black dress with a nice heel and accessories usually works well. For an afternoon wedding a pretty dress is usually nice. Never wear white, that is for the bride. If you are related to the bride you could find out the colors of her wedding and wear a shade of her principle colors. If it is a spring afternoon wedding a nice sundress works well. Just be sure you don't expose too much and try to look stylish and classic in what you wear.

Answer 2

I assume you are attending the wedding as a guest, not as a member of the wedding party. Your choice of dress depends on where the reception will be held and also the time of day. At an afternoon wedding you will feel most comfortable in a street length dress of the kind you might wear to an office function or to church. Dresses embellished with sequins or other "sparkles" are more appropriate to cocktail and evening settings, but simple and elegant is better than flashy at any time of day or night. If the wedding receptions is being held at a fancy hotel or country club, you can consider a simple cocktail dress. Black is now considered an acceptable color as well and is always in good taste. Unless your escort is wearing a tuxedo, you do not want to wear a formal gown. If the reception is being held outside, you can wear a tea length garden dress - perhaps something is a sheer printed fabric to match the setting. In general, dress has become more casual in recent years and it means the dress you select can be something you will be able to wear almost anywhere. In making your selection, do try to avoid wearing the same color that the bridesmaids will have on.

Answer 3

Depends on the destination. For a Hawaiian wedding, a muumuu might be appropriate.

If in doubt, discuss this with the bride.

Answer 4

A female guest of the wedding can wear a dress or pantsuit. The length of the dress depends on how formal of a wedding. It is customary to not wear the color white.

Answer 5

A "dressy" dress.
