5 Tips You Need to Know on How to Dress for a Wedding

5-tips-you-need-to-know-on-how-to-dress-for-a--wedding-02Are You Ready for Wedding Season?

According to Brides.com, wedding season begins in the spring and ends in the fall, generally. So, do you know how to dress for a wedding? There are some unwritten rules and social norms that you should at least be aware of. Therefore, I’ve put together some great tips to ensure you are dressed appropriately and have a great time.

5 tips you need to know on how to dress for a wedding1. Match Your Dress to the Location and Time of the Wedding

Is it an outdoor/daytime wedding? Choose a lightweight, airy material in a light color or floral print. You could choose a long maxi dress as long as it’s made of a lighter material that feels appropriate for the setting.

What about an evening/indoor wedding? Wear a cocktail dress in a bold color or weightier fabric. If you prefer full-length dresses, an indoor wedding at an upscale location could warrant a fancier evening gown. I personally would opt for a cocktail dress as they are more versatile than a full-length gown.

No one should look at you and think, “What is she wearing?” The last thing you want to do at your friend or family member’s wedding is to become the center of attention. If you feel the need to show skin, make sure to only focus on one body part. Love your legs? Then choose a mid-thigh cocktail dress, but make sure you aren’t showing too much arm or chest. Want to accentuate your chest? Then make sure your dress falls to your knees or below to balance all that skin.

3. Choose Low to Mid-Height Heels

It’s the worst when you wear uncomfortable shoes to a wedding because then you won’t want to dance or mingle nearly as much as if you were wearing comfortable shoes. Plus, you don’t want to be the girl who’s walking around barefoot, that’s just tacky. Choose a low to mid-height heel so you still look stylish but you’re comfortable enough to dance and mingle with your friends.5 tips you need to know on how to dress for a wedding

4. Don’t Wear White, Ivory or Nude Colors

You can pretty much wear any color to a wedding, but steer clear of shades of, or anything resembling, white. I would even stay away from blush and nude colors; you never want to show up the bride. Also, most people suggest choosing a color other than black because black usually signifies funerals. I personally think it’s OK to wear black, especially if you have a favorite LBD. If you do decide to wear black, just make sure to jazz it up with a pop of color in your shoes, handbag or accessories.

5 tips you need to know on how to dress for a wedding5. Bring a Shawl or Sweater

If you are attending an indoor wedding with air conditioning or an outdoor wedding in a climate that has fluctuating weather, make sure to bring a sweater or a shawl to keep you warm. Especially if you’re wearing a strapless or sleeveless dress, having an extra layer on hand is smart to get you through the wedding ceremony and reception.

It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT high school throwback trend, even if I didn’t quite fit the profile. In HS, I played all the sports, did musicals, band and choir, I was pretty much in as many extracurriculars as I could be. But can we talk about this hair and outfits? I was definitely a late bloomer. My kids said I look scary 🤣. I say better with age 😉.

What were you like in HS?

Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. 💕

People often mistake me for much younger than I am, and I often receive compliments about my skin. If you know me, you know I actually get really shy and embarrassed when I receive compliments. But, I am really proud of my skin because I’ve worked hard to keep it looking youthful. 

I thank my dad and my Italian genes for a lot of it, but I’ve also been religiously caring for my skin since I finally broke up with tanning in my mid-20s. I wear giant (and ugly) sun hats every time I go to the beach and I layer on serums and spf every day.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing my current skincare routine and all of the products I used and treatments I’ve received to keep my skin looking as youthful as I can. And if you wanna see one of my treatments, head over to my stories to see the laser treatment @aestheticrn_christie with @dermfx gave me today. Link in stories or profile!

And by the way, I never wear foundation. In this photo, that is my skin minus some blush and a tiny bit of under eye concealer. Shop all my favorite products here: https://liketk.it/3N8lt

We had the most magical Sunday — the morning at @knottsberryfarm and the afternoon at Hermosa Beach with friends. Today was a day I said to myself, and to my friends, just how blessed we are to live here. There is no better feeling knowing that I finally found home. We missed you, LA.
