What to Wear to a Summer Wedding
Question 1- What to Wear to a Daytime Wedding in Summer
The mood of a daytime wedding is light, fresh, and cheery, and so wear a pretty dress in a bright color of the season. A Floral print dress is ideal and should be very easy to find. Accessorize your dress with some cute heels, a great clutch, and if you are daring enough, a hat. How often do you get to go to a wedding? Have fun and dress up.
Question 2. Can You Wear White to a Wedding?
Sorry, that old rule of no white at weddings still stands because you never want to upstage the bride. The only time it is acceptable is to wear a tiny bit of white as a detail on a dress or within a pattern of a dress- but we’re talking small. Cream or beige is o.k. Unless you know, the bride is wearing cream.
Question 3. Can You Wear Black to a Wedding?
A black cocktail dress is too heavy for a daytime wedding but is very appropriate for an evening wedding. If you want to wear black by day, then you could try a black floral dress, which is mainly bright colored flowers on a dark background ( i.e., black or navy). This gives black a much more daytime feel. Just make sure it’s more floral than black.
4. What To Wear to a Garden Wedding?
There’s a lot of garden weddings this summer, which is a lovely thing. Some are more formal, some are very casual, but what they all have in common are a light and cheery natural vibe. Florals, feminine prints are perfect, along with soft shapes and flowy fabrics. Choose cheerful light colors like the colors of the garden, and you will blend right in.
5. What To Wear to a Beach Wedding?
Beach weddings are fun and exciting and the perfect time to wear anything from a pretty sundress to a chic summery cocktail dress. A chiffon maxi is light and breezy and fits right in with the sun and sand setting. The high low hemline is playful and summery too!
6. What to Wear to a Winery Wedding?
Winery weddings can range from boho to glam, but they always have an air of sophistication. Why not toast the bride and groom with a glass of champagne in this gorgeous blue sheath with the twist tie neckline that is both modern and chic. Add sexy heels and a glamorous clutch and party on.
7. Can You Wear a Jumpsuit to a Wedding?
Yes, absolutely! If your legs are not your best asset or dresses are just not your thing, and then pants are an excellent choice. However, I’m not talking about any old pair of slacks and a top. To look more elegant, wear a solid color pantsuit or a beautiful blouse and Palazzo pants, which are flowy and feminine, almost like a dress.
A dressy jumpsuit can also work for daytime weddings. Be sure to choose fabrics that are relaxed and a little more luxurious than what you’d wear every day.
8. Maxi Dresses are Summery. – Can I wear a Maxi Dress to a Summer Wedding?
Yes, a breezy maxi dress is perfect for a spring or summer wedding, but make sure it is not too casual or too revealing. Check out my post on Perfect Maxi dresses for weddings.
9. What to Wear To an Evening Wedding?
Easy Answer – Unless the evening wedding is very formal and calls for a long gown, a cocktail dress is perfect! Just make sure it is not too flashy, short, or revealing. You don’t want to look like you should be out clubbing. For example, a tight-fitting red satin dress with sequins and a plunging neckline is too showy.
Another option for an evening wedding is to wear a dressy suit or a cocktail suit. Remember, it’s night. You shouldn’t look the slightest bit corporate. No pinstripes, shirts, tweeds, serious suit styles, and heavy materials. You need to wear a fitted suit, not a boxy suit, one that is softer, a little sexy, feminine and luxurious – the type of thing you’d wear if you were going out to a special dinner. Think sophisticated. (A very dressy pantsuit with this same feel would work too.)
10. What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding?
A black-tie wedding is most formal and calls for something very glamorous like you are going to a formal ball. Here’s where a full-length black dress would be your very best choice. However, a black cocktail dress would be acceptable too. If you don’t like black, then a single color dress in a rich color is elegant too. Also, a dress that is simple with clean lines is what’s right for this elegant affair—no fussy details.
Always respect the fact that it will be one of the most special days in the bride’s life. Honor her by putting some effort into what you wear and dressing up for the occasion, but never try to outshine her. It’s her moment to in the spotlight. Make sure she feels like the star.

Ideas for What to Wear To a Gorgeous Garden Wedding
Ideas for What to Wear To a Gorgeous Garden Wedding
1. Floral Print Dresses are a Natural Choice
Garden weddings range from low-key affairs at home in the backyard, to elaborate spreads in large parks surrounded by lush gardens and fountains. They are pretty, romantic, and usually very traditional. Naturally, the easiest way to fit in with the botanical theme is to wear feminine, floral wedding guest attire. This pretty pink floral dress is a great example.
2. Pastels always Work
In terms of color, for an afternoon wedding, you could go a couple of different ways: Pastel floral dresses are always appropriate. Or, you could wear brighter florals, so long as they didn’t look too tropical. (Leave loud Hawaiian tropical prints for a beach or destination wedding).
Florals prints on navy, black or purple backgrounds can also be lovely and are sometimes considered more formal garden wedding attire since the flowers are on very dark backgrounds. If you are wearing a dress like this, be careful that the look isn’t dark or moody. An outdoor wedding is a light, sunny, happy event, so nothing edgy or goth-like.
3. Lace is Lovely
Lace is always a perfect choice for a wedding, and it’s particularly romantic for a garden wedding. This pretty pale pink lace dress with the bell sleeves is classic with a modern twist. Wedge heels are easier to walk in than skinny heels if the wedding is outdoors.
4. Ruffles are Romantic
Attending any wedding, particularly one in a garden setting, is a little like being part of a romance story, which is why a dress with feminine, romantic ruffles would fit right in.
Concerned about looking too girly? Look for a dress that has one simple statement ruffle and banish all other nods to girly-ness with a sophisticated clutch and heels to ground your outfit. If the nuptials take place on the grass and not a patio, then black heels may be better, or even a wedge heel.
5. Maxi Dresses Go With the Easy Breezy Feel
A flowy, feminine maxi dress with a romantic feel is another good option for a garden wedding. A floral print is always lovely, especially in chiffon, but you could also go with a solid color. (See my post on guidelines for maxi dresses for an afternoon wedding.)
6. A Pretty Sundresses is Fine for a Very Informal Wedding
Some couples get married in their backyard because they want the wedding to be very small, low-key, and super casual. In this case, you would not need to wear a cocktail dress. Casual backyard wedding attire could include a pretty sundress, a skirt, and a blouse, or a casual maxi dress. Dress your outfit up with a bit of jewelry and some pretty accessories to make it more festive.
Do you have other ideas for backyard or garden guest wedding attire? Let me know. Or maybe you need ideas on what to wear other types of weddings. Here are some suggestions.
