Destination Wedding Guest Attire





Destination Wedding Guest Attire

Going to a destination wedding soon? Tropical weddings are very different than traditional ones at churches, hotels, or country clubs, and it is important to dress accordingly. Here is your guide to destination wedding guest attire.
First of all, a destination wedding demands an entirely different attitude than a more conventional one. The vibe is more relaxed, more festive, and just plain more fun! Your clothing should be the same. The black cocktail dress that has carried you through three weddings in New Jersey this season is all wrong for a wedding in Bermuda. Too serious, too somber, too dark. This is tip number one: choose something colorful to wear to a destination wedding. Think about how in tropical settings from Miami to the Caribbean, buildings are painted in cheerful pastel colors, and let that palette be your guide.
Next, think about style. Heavily embellished dresses will weigh you down at a beach wedding. Remember to choose fabrics which are comfortable in the sun. Linen and crisp cotton are ideal. You think that cotton cannot be dressy enough for a wedding guest? Imagine a classic seersucker shift dress or a flirty strapless dress in a pink cotton lace. With the right accessories, these styles would be both pretty enough for a tropical wedding and completely comfortable.
