With the arrival of spring, in addition to allergies to pollen, the rise in temperatures and the abandonment of warm clothes, invitations to weddings follow one another. It is in spring and summer when more weddings are celebrated, and it is also the moment, if you are invited to one of them, to consider: what should I wear to a wedding?
Ideas for choosing a wedding dress
- The most suitable dresses for a wedding depend on many factors: if you are a bridesmaid, you go as godmother, it is a daytime celebration or a night wedding, or if the wedding is celebrated in a church or if it is civil and has place in a town hall. And it is that, each of these circumstances requires a different suit. A godmother will not be dressed the same as a guest, nor is the same dress usually worn during the day as at night.
- The clothing to attend a civil wedding is increasingly similar to that of church weddings. Formerly they were more informal ceremonies in which no etiquette was required. However, today, you can follow the same patterns when it comes to dressing in both cases.
- If the wedding is in the morning, it is advisable to wear a short or cocktail dress, the ideal length will be at the knee or a few centimeters above. It is preferable to leave the minidresses for another occasion. If the wedding is held in the afternoon or evening, you can choose both a long and short dress, although until a few years ago, only long dresses were worn at night weddings.
- A recommendation regarding the colors of your dress is to avoid white, so as not to take away from the bride. It is a rule of courtesy that lately we have seen many celebrities break. In any case, there is a huge palette of colors to opt for before white.
- The dress you wear will also depend on what you are attending: bridesmaid, godmother or guest. Bridesmaids in some parts of the world, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, wear dresses with the same aesthetics and color. The godmother is another of the protagonists of the wedding and can wear a long dress even in daytime weddings.
Be that as it may, the important thing is that you feel comfortable, feel attractive and confident in your wedding dress, so that you can enjoy the ceremony, dinner and the after party.
