What to Wear to a Wedding

If you are reading this wedding blog, chances are you are a bride to be or have been asked to be in a wedding or help plan a wedding. However, recently I've gotten some emails from readers who are simply curious about weddings in general--many of whom have to attend a wedding in the near future. Now, as of right now, these emails have all come from women so the suggestions I make pertain to women.

The Maxi dress is one dress that is so versatile you can wear it to a wedding during any season.In cooler months, simply wear a beautiful shall to compliment the dress.

Women who have a smaller frame should avoid maxi dresses that have fuller skirts as they make you appear to be not only shorter but also wider. Instead, choose a maxi dress with an a-line or bias cut. Opt for an empire waist or a halter to help add height to your smaller frame.

For women who are larger framed, avoid maxi dresses that feature spaghetti straps or no straps and instead look for maxi dresses with halter tops or v-necks. These will be much more flattering for your body type.

Not only will you look amazing, you will be wearing one of the hottest trends in today’s fashion world. This flowing dress topically ends at your ankles or feet. This fashion must have is showing it can work for just about every woman. It doesn’t matter what your age, size or body shape is.

How To Find the Best Bridesmaids Dresses

So you have bridesmaids that are so very opposite that you aren't sure which dress type is best. It's difficult to find the perfect dress when those who need to wear it are so different in size and personality.

Your best option is "mix & match" separates in the same color/fabric. There are bolero jackets and separates so your bridal party will be coordinated in the same matching color with different style outfits to match every figure.
