Wedding Guest Outfits

How to choose
- Read the invitation: black tie means floor-length or very formal; cocktail means knee to midi length.
- Garden and beach weddings favor breathable linen, chiffon and soft prints.
- Avoid white, ivory and anything that could photograph as bridal.
- Bring a wrap or light jacket for evening receptions.
- Block heels or elegant flats save you on grass and dance floors.
Skip these
