It\u2019s a big no-no for a wedding guest to turn up in something that\u2019s going to get more attention than her, so follow these excellent top tips about what to wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think understated ball gown. Strapless dresses give an aura of confidence without showing too much flesh as they highlight the subtle lines of the shoulders. Keep the look girly by opting for silk or chiffon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knee length dresses or longer are best and suitably more formal. If you prefer a longer length Grecian inspired maxi dresses can also look stunning. Team with a twisted or plaited rope belt to complete your wedding guest style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No girl\u2019s wedding guest style outfit is complete without a fabulous corsage or fascinator and sparkling jewellery \u2013 just choose carefully!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satin dresses are a nice day-to-night option. By opting for one with pleated detailing and a cinched waist you can disguise bumps that other dresses would cling to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lace panels and net detailing also add a classic, feminine edge to any dress. Look for built in net petticoats to create a chic 50s prom dress silhouette or update a shift dress with a lace clutch bag and fascinator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classic v-neck dresses are a safe staple for any wedding and make the most of the d\u00e9colletage area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are opting for shimmer, tone down the rest of your look. Embellishment is about creating a focus area \u2013 so look for a dress where the embellishment is in an area you don\u2019t mind attention being drawn to!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For boho-chic, maxi dresses are the perfect wedding occasion dress. Go for a maxi with a bright floral or digital print, or statement tribal design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long necklaces or bangles can often complete this look so why not try it on with some jewellery \u2013 just stick to one accent colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checklist:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid bright white if possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember: less is more when it comes to make-up, hair styling and accessories.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for nude nail varnish. It matches any outfit and is less noticeable when chipped.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a shrug, structured blazer or pashmina so you can party on into the evening when the temperature drops.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t show too much skin: legs or chest, not both.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most important of all, don\u2019t upstage the blushing bride!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s an unwritten rule that the bride\u2019s wedding dress is the focus of attention on her wedding day.
