The Color White

One big wedding tradition that many brides follow is wearing a white dress to their wedding. Not only do they want this gown to stand out, but they usually don’t want anyone else there wearing that same color. So if you’re thinking of wearing any shade of white (cream, off-white, etc.) reconsider the outfit choice for this celebration.

Tiara or Diamond Headpiece

While it’s okay to wear hair clips, colorful pins, or even headbands to a wedding, try not to wear a tiara or a diamond headpiece, which are items that a bride might incorporate into her hairstyle.

Shorts

Even if the wedding attire calls for cocktail attire or casual attire, it’s a good rule of thumb to avoid wearing shorts. Instead, go with a skirt, ankle length dress pants, or a dress instead.

Jeans

Have a pair of jeans that you think are fancy enough for a wedding? It’s best to rethink your outfit choice and leave the denim at home. Wearing jeans to a celebration might come off too casual, even for a wedding that has a less-strict dress code. Instead, look for pants in cotton, linen, lace, or polyester fabric.

Yoga Pants or Sweatpants

Want to go with a comfy look? You can still do that without wearing your favorite yoga pants or sweatpants to a wedding. Instead, pick a more flowy dress, skirt, or jumpsuit in a breathable fabric that doesn’t hug the body.

Certain Shoe Attire

For the ceremony and the start of the reception, wear a pair of shoes that fit in with the style and attire of your outfit. For example, for a formal wedding, pair your look with heels, for cocktail attire, pair your look with wedges or a closed toe shoe. Save the flip-flops or comfortable sneakers for a shoe change mid-way through the reception when the dance floor opens.

Casual T-Shirts

Want to pair a skirt or pants look with a t-shirt or tank top? You can absolutely pull off that look for a wedding, as long as the top has a formal feel to it. Go with a silk or or lace fabric to give it a more appropriate look and avoid graphic t-shirts or anything that just feels too casual.
