Formal wedding guest dresses

Best formal wedding guest dresses

One question that many of us have asked- What to wear to a wedding?

Well, wedding guest dresses should fit in with the theme of the celebration whenever possible, but they’re also meant to show the individual style of the wearer. For men, slacks or formal pants and a shirt (tucked in) works great. Avoid sneakers and opt for dressy oxfords or loafers. Informal, Evening: For her, an informal evening wedding suggests a dress, and allows for a lot of flexibility. You could wear a maxi dress and flat shoes, or a little black dress and heels. Don’t hold back when choosing your ensemble -- browse our huge selection and see what speaks to you the most!

Who doesn’t love a wedding? The beautiful celebration gives us a chance to honor our most beloved friends or family members. And of course, it gives all the guests an excuse to wear a fabulous dress and look gorgeous! Check out Sandhya Garg's selection of lovely formal dresses for wedding guests and choose the perfect one to show off at the next nuptials you attend. If your are thinking rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, or reception party we have unique formal wedding guest dresses for all occasions. For daytime weddings, remember not to wear black or sequins, as those are colors and details best reserved for evening occasions. The sparkle and shine will make you look overdressed.

Even if you're attending the wedding of a young friend, remember how many wedding guests are older, including the families of the bride and groom. Out of respect for the occasion and those closest to the couple, overly sexy, low-cut, revealing or high-hemmed outfits should be avoided. That's not to say you can't look feminine and attractive — just be reasonable. If you have any doubts, consult other guests, friends or your mom for advice. 

How to pick the right dress for any type of wedding? Or what to wear to any type of wedding?

Saying “yes” to every wedding invitation is easy when armed with the perfect dress. First look for a dress code, then do a little research on acceptable looks for that level of formality or occasion. If the invitation doesn't give a dress code, look at what time the ceremony takes place. Usually, daytime weddings are less formal than those that take place after 6 p.m., but if you're still at a loss, look up the venue in advance, or get in touch with another guest to get their advice.

Spring and summer weddings are a great time for pastel colors, floral prints and more playful looks. Fall and winter weddings call for your favorite little black dress, jewel tones and even a faux fur stole.Take your pick of wedding guest dresses from short fit-and-flares to flowing mermaid gowns that help you celebrate the lovely couple—in style! Be the best-dressed guest! Shop wedding guest dresses from your favorite brand. Rest assured that whatever style you choose, you’ll be able to find the perfect fitting dress for the wedding. Sandhya Garg stocks a range of styles from petite to plus size, and custom made wedding guest dresses.

What to wear if my invitation says Semi-Formal?

Semi-formal is a tricky term, but we suggest not over-thinking it too much. For daytime, a semi-formal wedding suggests a shorter style of cocktail dress and heels/sandals or dressy separates like an embellished skirt and blouse or a fun jumpsuit.

A semi-formal evening wedding is just slightly dressier than a semi-formal daytime wedding, but you can wear the same thing to both. A cocktail dress and heels or dressy separates (same as daytime) will look great but don't forget that an LBD is also an excellent option for a semi-formal evening ceremony.

The season makes all the difference when it comes to choosing the perfect gown. Wedding guest dresses for summer should be light and breezy, like our art deco beaded blouson gowns or chiffon flutter dresses. Warm weather is also a great time to show off bright colors and bold prints, but a stunning solid-color beaded gown works in any season.
