Weddings are unquestionably special occasions. The bride, groom, and the guests often spend months, if not longer, agonizing about what to put on. In truth, that all depends on what type of wedding you are having or attending. You can find special rules involved. Wedding etiquette is a large deal and following those rules will keep everyone happy and make sure it is just a special day for the bride.
When choosing dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest a number of factors should be carefully considered before you make your selection. These are some things I have learned in my many years attending weddings, don't take this for granted, it is very important!
(1) Never try to outshine the bride, this is a total NO, NO and if you try to achieve this you will feel very guilty afterwards and you will not have just ruined your day, but most importantly you will make the bride very unhappy, this is her day and please allow her the luxury of outshining all of the guests on that day.
(2) Try and research what colour the bridesmaids are wearing and if possible try and not wear the same colours as them, it would be better if you did not choose the same colour as mother of the bride dresses, or the mother of the groom dresses, as next to the bride these are the most important female guests attending the wedding and it is their privilege to surpass all other guests in glamour other than the bride on this most significant day.
(3) Take note of the time and location of the wedding as these factors will influence very undoubtedly the clothes that would be suitable for you to wear.
(4) If you are going to a very formal evening wedding, black tie event research and look for suitable dresses for evening weddings, as you research you will have many to select from , ranging from the long formal gown, cocktail dresses, etc ( note do not choose overly fussy prom dresses ) these are usually too elaborate and far too fussy for dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest, choose these dresses only for very sophisticated balls, military balls and very formal functions.
(5) Some good options that you could choose for dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest, would be a chic cocktail dress with jacket, one that is not too tight or exposing too much skin, or ones overly adorned with sequins, if you want to be daring choose another function other than a wedding to experiment.
(6) If you want to wear a dress for example a halter neck, or an off the shoulder creation, or a strapless dress, it would be wise to have a small jacket or shawl to match your dress, that can be worn for the ceremony as it is not very good etiquette for a guest to expose too much skin. It is inappropriate to wear wedding dresses that are too daring, as the nuptials are taking place, later on in the evening it would be acceptable to take off your jacket and expose some skin.
(7) If you are going to a summer wedding on the beach, you can choose from many simple wedding dresses, to short wedding dresses, cocktail dresses or just a very simple pretty summer dresses.

(8) Generally when selecting dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest, it is not appropriate to wear a black dress or a sequined dress to a wedding during the daytime, this would be ok for a very formal evening wedding.
(9) Most of all when wedding guests are choosing suitable attire to wear to a wedding, they should choose something that is in keeping with their personality and is sophisticated and comfortable, there is no point in looking a million dollars if all day your are uncomfortable, and self conscious about your dress, you have to feel one hundred per cent happy with your choice of outfit.Read More:/wedding-blog/fashion-guide-what-is-the-best-dress-to-wear-to-a-wedding-for-guest/
