What to Wear to a Wedding
October 3rd, 2009 by Calleigh received 1 Comment »What to Wear to a Wedding
Wedding Guest Style for Her
• Wear a short dress or suit (like business attire OK for morning weddings) for Informal Daytime
• Wear a Cocktail dress for Informal Evening
• Wear a Short dress or suit for Semi-Formal Daytime
• Wear a Cocktail dress for Semi-formal Evening
• Wear a short dress or suit (Hats and gloves optional) for Formal Daytime
• Wear a Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories, wrap) for Formal Evening or Black-Tie
• Wear a Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.) for Ultra-formal or White Tie
Do’s and Don’ts for Her
• Don’t compete with the bride by wearing white color clothing
• Don’t wear sequins or black during the daytime.
• Don’t be concerned about wearing similar colors as the mothers or the bridesmaids as you cant possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party
• Do wear something appropriate and feminine and appropriate, out of respect for your hosts. Overly sexy clothing (strapless, see-through, etc) or Club wear doesn’t belong at a wedding
• Don’t wear gloves (to top of the arm like opera-length) with anything but strapless gowns or sleeveless.
• Do take off gloves while eating or drinking
• Do use a pastel suit or soft floral dress for daytime or little black dress for evening if the formality of the event is not specified. A sound judgment in choosing your outfit will take you just about anywhere.
Wedding Style for Him
• Wear Dress shirt and pants, preferably a sports jacket for Informal Daytime
• Wear suit for Informal Evening• Wear suit for Semi-Formal Daytime
• Wear Dark Suit for Semi-Formal Evening
• Wear Dark Suit and tie for Formal Daytime
• If invitation states “Black tie” wear Tuxedo or dark suits if women wear short dresses for Formal Evening
• Wear White tie, vest and shirt for Ultra-formal Evening or White Tie:
Do’s and Don’ts for Him
• A black tux with black bow tie and white shirt is the best way to go but if “Creative Black Tie” or “Texas Formal” or some sort of other vague formal description is used, then going with a tux and black shirt, no tie, might be acceptable. Also, trendier cities like New York and Los Angeles might be more accepting of breaking with tradition.
• Do wear a dark suit, with a tie if the wedding is after 6 PM, and doesn’t say “Black Tie.”
• Don’t wear a tuxedo during the day time, regardless of the formality of the event.
• Do use a dark suit and conservative tie if the invitation doesn’t specify the formality of the event. A sound judgment in choosing your outfit will take you just about anywhere

the saying you get what you pay for def applies to hair straighteners. i have wavy hair and i use to buy the revlon hair straightener and with in a year it would lose heat or simply stop working. after 4 of those i decided to spend $88 on a solia hair straightener. i’ve had that one for years now and it still works wonderfully! my friend has a sedu and it works really well on her course curly hair. i would look into buying a pricier one with ionic ceramic plates. it will be worth it in the long run. and watch out for imitators, they will claim to have ceramic plates, but they don’t really have that and you definitely want ceramic plates because they do the least damage to your hair.
