The most important advice you can follow to be the best dressed for that upcoming wedding is your own. You have been attending events for years and, with more or less luck, you have tried everything: jumpsuits, long dresses, suits… Only you know what suits you best and what you feel most comfortable with . Taking this into account, following the trends of the season and adapting them to the guest looks is always a fantastic idea (link to the other wedding article if you want), especially those that make the garments even more elegant and special, such as arepuffed sleeves or sequins .
Although it is said that a wedding is the day in which the bride is the total protagonist, that does not mean that you, the most stylish guest , cannot have fun and stand out wearing an outfit that is somewhat different than usual. Dare to take advantage of everything you know about yourself, choosing clothes that flatter you , and mix it with a crazy desire to innovate and stand out, be it with the dress, the accessories or the hairstyle.
If creativity suffers and you are not very clear about what steps to follow to achieve your goal of being the most ideal guest of the event, here we give you six tips that can guide you in the search for the perfect look to enjoy this fall wedding like never before and crown yourself as the best dressed .
Abide by the dress code, the key to being the best dressed at the wedding
While it is true that protocol standards are becoming more flexible, it is worth taking some of them into account. In daytime weddings, it is appropriate to wear a short dress (with knee length), while for evening celebrations, the dress code indicates that wearing a long dress is indicated. Midi dresses and jumpsuits are suitable for both types of weddings. We repeat that these indications are indicative and the essential thing is that you feel comfortable with the outfit you choose. However, following the dress code can add a lot of points in your goal of being the most stylish guest at the wedding.
Adapt the guest look to the wedding venue
The type of wedding to which you attend as a guest and the place where it is celebrated will guide you when choosing your outfit. Obviously, an Ibiza wedding on the beach is not the same as one in the middle of the countryside or in an elegant hotel in the city. If you want to be the most stylish guest, it is essential that you dress according to the place : a more hippie look for a wedding in front of the sea, more glamorous for the city… Ponspecial attention to shoes , a stiletto heel, for example, does not go well with the sand on the beach.
Follow the trends of the season to be the most ‘trendy’ guest
The trends of the season tend to also be transferred to the looks of guests of special events, therefore, finding an outfit that follows one of the trends of the moment will mark you as the guest more fashionable. This autumn 2021 some of the most popular are the puffed sleeves , the shoulder pads, the openings and the monochrome looks .
Small and handbag, the best ally of the perfect guest Accessories
play an essential rolein the wedding guest looks, especially the bag. It must be small and, preferably, handheld. In sets for special events, clutches with a fine chain handle work very well to have the option of carrying it in the hand or hanging it from the shoulder. The funny thing is that there are a thousand possibilities to add this accessory to your guest look : you can bet on a clutch from the same range of your outfit, in a different tone and to match the shoes, in silver or gold
Hairstyles, the importance of choosing it with time to hit the nail on the head
The hairstyle for the wedding is as important to finish off your look as the bag or the earrings. It is essential to choose a hairstyle with which you are comfortableand that feels good on your face. The best option is to choose it with time and even try several , so as not to end up wearing the handy wavy hair again (which we also love). Our favorite trend for this fall is the chignon jumpsuit , a low jumpsuit of a lifetime but with a somewhat casual style, disheveling the part that falls on your face. It is the perfect choice to wear this fall dresses with open backs .
Some coat, but not the usual
If in summer weddings the main headache is how to dress elegantly without melting due to the high temperatures, in autumn the problem derives from what garment to choose for when it cools down in the evening. The option of the blazer is always there, but after looking for a super original look, adding a basic jacket doesn’t seem like the best option. One of our favorite options are capes, timeless garments with a thousand possible combinations and perfect for autumn weddings if they are made of cool fabrics. But without a doubt our favorite outerwear for mid-season weddings is a Manila shawl , you will triumph as the best dressed guest.
