Check your invitation<\/span><\/p>\n

Has the bride specified a strict dress code for what to wear to the wedding<\/a>? Will it be a black tie affair? Are there hats involved? Firstly, check your invitation. This will give you a good indication of where to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wear white<\/span><\/p>\n

Female wedding guests should avoid wearing anything white or ivory \u2013 these shades are strictly reserved for the bride. Men should avoid wearing a morning suit, you don\u2019t want to turn up looking like a member of the wedding party when you\u2019re actually not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mum\u2019s the word!<\/span><\/p>\n

Try to find out what colour the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom are wearing and, as a guest, try to avoid these colours. It\u2019s a big day for the mums as well and they want to stand out in the photos as much as the bride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t over or under \u2013 dress<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, wearing jeans, T-shirt and trainers is a massive no for anyone attending wedding. We know it\u2019s going to be a long day and you can start to feel uncomfortable but it\u2019s not all about you! This is the bride\u2019s special day and this is a formal occasion, so you need to dress appropriately. Let the bride and groom know that you\u2019ve made a special effort for their day. Don\u2019t over dress with huge, eye-catching details that will take the emphasis of the bride. Equally, don\u2019t under dress and give the vicar an eye full! For the guys, a well-fitting suit, shirt and shiny shoes is all you need. During the day, make sure you wear a tie \u2013 this can be discarded in the evening once the party becomes more casual.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
