You have received an invitation to the wedding! What a happy news! After receiving such news, one of the first thoughts that ladies will have is to start sewing a dress. The question of what to wear to guests is as old as the truth that there is no such thing as inappropriate weather, only inappropriate clothing.

In order for the wedding you are going to not only have suitable conditions, but also clothing, it is worth reading some etiquette recommendations for guests - what to wear and what should be avoided.

WITH WHITE COLOR - BEWARE!

There are different opinions about white dresses at weddings (unless, of course, it is the bride herself). Etiquette does not forbid wearing white or black when attending a wedding, but fashion experts recommend avoiding it.

To put on a long white dress would be disrespectful to the bride, because it is no secret that no other woman would want to overshadow her on this day.

White color is permissible in cases where it is known that the bride's own dress will be of a different color or if the young couple has expressed a wish for the guests to dress in white. Fashion artists all over the world say that white clothes should be worn often, but not at weddings. The long, airy white and cream dresses will not only confuse the bride, but also the guests. the same advice applies to men too - you wouldn't want to dress up in an all-white suit to be mistaken for the groom, would you?

DIFFERENT PRINTS - GREAT CHOICE!

Dresses with various prints will suit ladies perfectly when going to a wedding. Weddings are the perfect time for long dresses with floral patterns. It's true, before that, you should find out the wedding colors in order to fit into the overall theme and not stand out too much against the background of other guests.

BLACK COLOR - DETAILS!

Black color unequivocally symbolizes elegance and according to etiquette it is not forbidden in the clothes of wedding guests. However, you should avoid wearing black from the ends of your hair to your heels. Black color will look very beautiful in details. It can be a long black skirt combined with a light colored blouse, for example.

DON'T BE A WEDGE OF YOUR SHOES!

If high heels are not your best friend, then you can safely refuse them at the wedding without becoming a hostage of your own shoes. If the wedding is formal and takes place indoors, you can choose shoes with a lower and more stable heel, while for outdoor weddings there are no restrictions at all - both more luxurious sandals and boat shoes will be perfect here.

WE SAY “YES!” HEAD JEWELRY!

Aristocratic ladies, when attending weddings, especially stand out with gorgeous head ornaments and hats. this idea is not so silly, because where else do we manage to wear such gorgeous jewelry on a daily basis? It may not be hats, but, for example, a flower ornament. Flower crowns, just like white dresses, are recommended to be left to the brides themselves.

MINISKIRT - NO!

Electric dresses of bright colors and too short dresses that reveal much more than necessary, and it is better not to wear them when going to a wedding. If the wedding colors are pastel and you will be wearing a bright blue dress, then only you will be noticed in all the photos - this should be avoided. Also, weddings are not the place to dress as if you're going to a club or bar for a weekend of fun - just in case! If the wedding takes place in a church, respect religious traditions and don't be too naked (in churches of some denominations, women will also need a headscarf to cover their heads). A valuable tip to remember - it's better to wear more than less.

CHECK YOUR CLOSET!

Going to a wedding doesn't always mean spending a fortune looking for the right dress. A half-length skirt with a white blouse and gorgeous jewelry can also look great, respectively, making a seemingly everyday outfit much more luxurious for the given occasion.
