Top 5 Ideas for Wedding Guest Dresses

Top 5 Ideas for Wedding Guest Dresses

“Mischa, can you stop reading that magazine and help me select a dress for Tabby’s wedding?”, yelled Monica. “Okay, okay fine. What do you need help with?” “I need to wear something to Tabby’s wedding. I am going as a guest, not as family”, said Monica, looking at all her clothes sprawled around.
We’re assuming every woman has this dilemma sometime or the other, doesn’t she? What kind of a dress should you wear if you’re attending a wedding as a guest? Maybe we can take some tips from what Mischa and Monica finally did.

1. Look for simple cuts

“You don’t want to look overdressed. Especially when you’re a guest and not a family member. Put that frilly peach dress out of my sight, please”, Mischa shouted. She’s right, guys. Don’t go for frilly, satin, over the top dresses and hats. You don’t want people to come up to you and talk to you as if you’re the bridesmaid or a close kin.

2. Look for pastel shades

“I hope you’re not touching that white dress”, Mischa said. “No dear. I don’t even closely want to steal the bride’s thunder!”, Monica retorted. White, being the bride’s color, should be strictly checked out from your list, friends. We suggest you go for cocktail dresses, if the wedding is in the evening or a printed dress, if it’s a morning wedding. If you have a slim figure, go for an off-shouldered dress or stick to a classic halter neck. Pastel shades are always a hit and a safe bet at weddings.

3. Look for empire line dresses

“Hey, why don’t you borrow my empire line blue and green dress that I wore to the cocktail party last week?”, said Mischa, finally looking happy with her own idea. “Not only will it make you look slimmer, you’ll also be able to wear a beautiful belt with it”, she added. “That’s a good idea. Do you know what I love about empire line dresses? They are sensual without looking inappropriate”, said Monica. Perfect for a guest at a wedding, don’t you think?

4. Look for a dress with plain neck

Don’t jump at this suggestion. We don’t want you to look like a plain Jane to any wedding. Here’s the thing behind choosing a dress that has no heavy embellishments or embroidery work. When you have a plain neck, you can choose a beautiful stole (if it is winter) or a light scarf (for summer and spring) to wrap around. “It’ll give you a very elegant, sophisticated look”, said Mischa, after suggesting the same to Monica.

5. Look for dresses with geometric and abstract designs

“Mischa, maybe it’s a good idea to wear that checkered tube dress with the circular leafy design. I can always put on a nice cashmere stole on top. It might be chilly since the wedding is alfresco”, Monica said. “That’s a pretty neat idea, Mon. Why don’t you try it out for me?”, said Mischa, looking excited. The best thing about being a guest at a wedding is that you can be different from the customary wedding dresses and flaunt some contemporary fashions. There’s no protocol you need to follow!
Thank God Mischa didn’t end up wearing those traditional long gloves, awkward big hats and a typical wedding frilly dress that guests with bad taste often wear at weddings. We’re pretty sure Mischa is going to be that stunning guest at Tabby’s wedding. Do you want to take a cue from her?
