Weddings are not the same. Some wedding are strictly formal, others are not. Depending on the level of formality you should be careful when choosing clothes to wear at the event. Here are some tips for you to know what is appropriate and what is not:

• Informal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire is appropriate for morning weddings)

Do’s and Don’ts for Her

• Don’t wear white because this color is for the bride only. There are plenty of other colors guests may select from

• Do opt for something feminine and appropriate. Clubwear, too sexy clothing are not good ideas for a wedding ceremony. If you ask yourself whether it’s appropriate or not, it probably isn’t.

• Don’t wear black or sequins during the daytime.

• Do take off gloves to eat or drink.

• Don’t worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can’t coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.

• Do be particular in selecting the outfit if the invitation doesn’t specify the formality of the event. Chose a pastel suit or a soft floral dress for daytime or a little black dress for evening, you’ll never be mistaken with these.

• Don’t wear opera-length gloves (to top of arm) with anything but sleeveless or strapless gowns.

Wedding Style for Him

• Informal Daytime: Dress shirt and trousers, a sports jacket.

• Informal Evening: Suit

• Semi-Formal Daytime: Suit

• Semi-Formal Evening: Dark suit

• Formal Daytime: Dark suit and tie

• Formal Evening: Tuxedo (if invitation says “black tie”) or dark suits if women wear short dresses.

• Ultra-formal Evening or White Tie: White tie, vest and shirt.

Do’s and Don’ts for Him

• Do wear a dark suit with a tie if the wedding is in the evening (after 6 p.m.), and doesn’t state “Black Tie.”

• Don’t wear a tuxedo for daytime or morning weddings, regardless of the formality of the event.

• Do be particular in selecting the outfit if the invitation doesn’t specify the formality of the event.

Chose a dark suit and conservative tie, you’ll never be mistaken with these.

I hope these tips will help you to choose an appropriate outfit!
