Formal Wedding Attire
I was invited to attend the wedding of a very accomplished young man who was once a student intern. It was a pleasure to attend and be witness to the promise of young love and all of its possibilities. The wedding was formal per the invitation and since I like to dress appropriately, I wore formal attire.
Shoes: Sam Edelman
Jewelry: Bauble Bar & Jared
Glasses:Prada
Purse: Vintage
I love it when I go to an all white party and all the guest have complied. Invitations with dress
suggestions are often hard for people. What do you do when you don't have all white, or formal gear and don't want to or can't buy an outfit befitting the occasion?
Per the Huffington post article on Wedding Etiquette: The Do's and Dont's of Being a Guest you should dress as the style of the invitation suggests. Emily Post says the proper wedding attire for a formal wedding is a cocktail or dressy afternoon dress for daytime. For evening a long evening dress or dressy cocktail dress; gloves optional. So again, if you don't have a dressy cocktail dress what do you do? I say you can't go wrong with a black dress, add some interesting jewelry and black strappy shoes/sandals.
One day at a time!
