Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear as a wedding guest?

The right outfit depends on the dress code, venue, and season. For black-tie weddings, choose a floor-length gown or tuxedo. For smart-casual weddings, tailored trousers with a blazer or a midi dress works beautifully. Always avoid white or ivory.

What colours should you avoid as a wedding guest?

Avoid white, ivory, and cream — traditionally reserved for the bride. Very dark tones like all-black can also feel inappropriate at daytime or outdoor weddings. Opt for pastels, jewel tones, or warm neutrals.

Can you wear a jumpsuit to a wedding as a guest?

Yes — a tailored jumpsuit in a luxe fabric like satin, crepe, or lace is a modern, elegant choice for cocktail or semi-formal weddings.
