How to Choose The Perfect Wedding Guest Dress
If the invitation doesn’t specify the style or dress code, don’t stress. Here are a few clues to help you decide what to wear.
For a garden wedding, think colorful and bright. A black tie wedding is obviously more glam than a garden or beach celebration.

Check the invite.
Wedding invitations can give you lots of clues about the style of the wedding. Look at the design, colors, and fonts. It’s your first look at the theme of the wedding.
If there is a wedding website, you can also get ideas for what to wear by the site’s style. Is it glamorous and luxurious? Or an intimate ceremony?
Tip: Check to see if there is a FAQ section for ideas on what type of shoes to wear.
Block heels are chic and comfortable. Skip the stilettos if there is a cobblestone courtyard.

Research the venue.
Whether it’s a countryside wedding or a coastal beach theme, the location should give you some style inspiration for what to wear.
Check the weather before the big day. Even in the warmer months, the ocean breeze can get a bit chilly on the coast in the evenings. Bring a cute jacket or shawl.
Ask the bride or groom.
If you’re still not sure what type of wedding attire to wear and want to play it safe, call your friend or family member to get the details. If it’s the week of the big event, you may want to check in with the maid of honor or a bridesmaid.
