Stylish & elegant: We'll tell you what the best dresses are as a wedding guest

THE WEDDING INVITATION

The wedding season. Good friends and close relatives give the yes word to their fiancés and you are invited. But the most important question of the bride and groom - "Do you want to marry me?" - only means for you: "What in the world will I be wearing?"

A wedding is an exciting event, but also an opportunity to be stylish. Wearing a dress is a great option for a wedding as it is feminine and elegant. In this blog post we give you tips and advice on wearing a dress to a wedding, as well as the current trends in colors and styles, which you can find at SOPHIA/MALINA/WILD.

There are many different types of dresses to choose from for this day, from short cocktail dresses to long evening dresses. When choosing a dress for a wedding, you should choose a dress that reflects your style and personality, but also keep a few rules in mind. We have summarized the styling tips, trends and perfect wedding guest dresses for you.

We offer you a variety of limited dresses in standard sizes or you can design your own dress in your own style and measurements. Get inspired here!

What can you wear as a wedding guest?

To be part of the marriage ceremony is an honor & to dress up accordingly is the duty of every wedding guest. But how chic can I dress without stealing the show from the bride? How short can my skirt be and can I actually show cleavage?

Usually, every invitation includes a reference to the dress code of the day. This is not a casual recommendation - it is the explicit wish of the bride and groom. Obeying the dress code is therefore directly subject to the top priority of every wedding: Remember? What the bride wants, the bride gets. While of course you will be trying to look as stunning as possible (and allowed) we will make sure you will also feel comfortable in your shining outfit.

For a summer wedding party, you can choose an airy cut with a light fabric in apricot, lilac or soft yellow, for instance - but if the theme allows it, beautiful brighter options are also allowed.

At festive ceremonies with a ball character, you are allowed to shine in a long evening dress in elegant dark blue, old pink or timeless beige, for example.

For the civil ceremony it should be a more simple look. An elegant slim cut with a longer skirt variant, for instacnce. But also playful skirt variants combined with long sleeves are an eye-catcher if the wedding theme allows it.

WHICH COLORS ARE A NO GO AT A WEDDING?

Generally summarized: White, Black & Red. White is the color of the bride. She is the only one entitled to wear a white dress on her big day. By the way, there is no room for excuses: ivory, eggshell, champagne, or cream-colored all belong to the same taboo group. Of course, exceptions prove the rule, but this will require an explicit permission of the bride.

Black is the color of mourning. It is worn by widows after their spouse has died & as we all know - at funerals. Not exactly the mood you want to create at a wedding, is it? Some may say that in individual cases it depends on the style of the dress, but why risk it when there are so many great colors and fabrics in our collection?

The color red has also established itself as an absolute no-go at weddings. It is prohibited for two reasons: On the one hand, from a psychological point of view, it appears wicked, aggressive & sexy and therefore easily insinuates you're trying to steal the show of the bride. On the other hand, rumor has it that women who wear a red dress to a wedding secretly insinuate that they have slept with the groom. We say: Don't risk it. Don't do it.

A short or long dress

Dress length depends on the season and dress code. For informal weddings, cocktail dresses or knee-length skirts are good choices. In our spring/summer collection you will find several cocktail dresses that are perfect for the wedding. Here it can be airy and in flowing, light fabrics. 

For a winter wedding, more subtle shades are more appropriate and look just as elegant and stylish.

For formal weddings in the registry office, we recommend an elegant dress that is kept a little simpler. Because the civil wedding is an official occasion and instead of a glitter dress you prefer to celebrate in a cocktail dress.

With our dress designer you can choose the skirt with the length that best suits the type of wedding and you feel comfortable. There is a short and long version for every skirt.

What are the latest trends

Let's celebrate with colour! 

One way to style your dress is of course choosing the color & fabric. The current trends in dress colors for weddings are pastel colors such as rose, blue and yellow as well as bold colors. Of course, you should always pay attention to the dress code.

Be comfortable, elegant & with style

Another option when choosing your dress is choosing a skirt style that flatters your body. Our LINDA skirt is a popular choice for a wedding. The A-line skirt is flattering on most body shapes. A pencil skirt is another option that offers an elegant and slim silhouette. Our RINA skirt in dress designer is the perfect choice.  

Another trend in wedding dress skirts is the maxi skirt, which is perfect for a summer outdoor wedding.

Make the look complete!

Accessories such as jewellery, bags and shoes complete your outfit. A clutch bag and elegant high heels are a good choice. However, avoid heels that are too high if you have to walk in them all day. Jewelry should be understated and not surpass the dress. Complete your elegant wedding outfit with matching make-up and a beautiful hairstyle. A simple updo or loose waves are good choices. Make-up should be subtle so as not to overpower the outfit.
