Festive ensembles as an alternative to a dress
While dresses or skirts are usually the first choice, they are of course not a must. If you’re more of a pants type, you’ll be excellently dressed as a wedding guest in upscale women’s fashions like a festive pantsuit, pastel fabric pants or flowing culottes and a matching satin or silk blouse. Ballerinas or loafers are also perfectly acceptable alternatives to pumps.
Wedding guest dresses for registry office & church
A purely civil wedding allows a somewhat more casual dress code. Here, of course, you can appear in an elegant cocktail dress, but certainly also in upscale everyday wardrobe: a sheath dress, cloth pants with a blouse or an elegant jumpsuit are conceivable outfits for you as a wedding guest. By adding splashes of color – for example, apricot pants – you complete the separation from the business look.
Dresses for the church wedding ceremony
For the church wedding, the outfit is more festive and conservative. Be sure to cover bare shoulders with a stole. If you are unsure whether the bride will appear in a floor-length dress, choose a knee- or calf-length version yourself, for example a lace dress: in it you are definitely on the “safe side”.
