What To Wear: Wedding Guest Edition
So, you’ve RSVP’d yes to a wedding, and now comes the fun part: figuring out what to wear! Being a wedding guest means it’s time to bring your fashion A-game, but it’s also important to follow a few unspoken style rules to make sure you’re looking fabulous and appropriate. Don’t worry, though - Ellie Wilde has you covered with all the tips and tricks you need to slay that wedding guest look!
The Dress Code Decoded
Before you start shopping, check the invite for the dress code. Is it black-tie, semi-formal, or a laid-back beach vibe? This will help guide your outfit choice. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Black Tie: Go all out with a full-length gown! Think Ellie Wilde’s elegant evening dresses with a dash of sparkle or a sleek silhouette.
|
|
|
Semi-Formal: A cocktail dress is your go-to here! Look for something fun yet sophisticated, like Ellie Wilde’s flirty short dresses or midi-length stunners.
|
|
|
Casual/Beach Wedding: Keep it breezy with light fabrics like chiffon or lace. A cute floral or flowy style will make you feel effortlessly chic.
Color Confusion? Let’s Clear That Up!
One major question: what color should you wear? Here are a few quick do’s and don’ts:
Do go for bold, fun colors! Jewel tones, pastels, or even a hot pink Ellie Wilde number will totally turn heads - in the best way.

Don’t wear white. Unless the bride says it’s a white party, steer clear. Let the bride shine on her day!
Do try prints! Floral dresses are perfect for spring or summer weddings, and Ellie Wilde’s vibrant prints will make sure you stand out (without upstaging anyone).

Comfort is Key
Weddings can be a long day of ceremony, dinner, and dancing. While looking good is a priority, feeling good is just as important! Opt for dresses that allow you to move, sit, and boogie down with ease. Ellie Wilde’s designs are not only stunning but made with fabrics that will keep you comfortable while looking flawless. And don’t forget to break in those shoes before the big day - no one wants blisters by the first dance!
Do’s and Don’ts: Wedding Guest Edition
Let’s get into some tried-and-true wedding guest fashion do’s and don’ts:
Do dress according to the season. For a summer wedding, go for lighter fabrics and airy designs, while a winter wedding calls for richer tones and maybe even sleeves.
Don’t go too casual. Even if the invite says “casual,” weddings are still a celebration, so leave the jeans and flip-flops at home.
Do accessorize wisely. A cute clutch, fun earrings, or a statement necklace can elevate your look.
Don’t overdo it. You’re there to celebrate love, not walk a runway! Let your outfit be fabulous, but don’t steal the show.
Final Tip: Have Fun!
The most important rule? Have fun with your outfit! Weddings are all about love, joy, and celebration, and your outfit should reflect that energy. Whether you choose a playful mini dress or a glamorous gown, Ellie Wilde has the perfect dress to make you feel like your best self.
