What Colour To Wear To A Wedding
When searching for a wedding guest dress, colour plays a big part in what you should choose.
Have a specific colour in mind or looking for outfit inspiration on which colour to go for?
Colours to avoid:
You definitely do not want to wear white, it is also safe to stay away from colours close to white, such as champagne, cream or any other pale colours as you don’t want to seem like you’re trying to outshine the bride.
You may want to check with the bride or other guests attending about the colours of the bridal party as you don’t want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid.
It’s safe to stay away from colours that are too bright and patterns that are too bold as you don’t want to be the centre of attention at someone else’s wedding, after all it is their big day.
