What to Wear: Wedding Edition

When I first started going to weddings as an adult, trying to decide what to wear would totally frazzle me.  I went to a bunch of weddings in the '90s when all of my parents' siblings and cousins got married, and then didn't go to another until my friends (ahem, my boyfriends' friends) and cousins started getting married.  I actually remember going through friends' Facebook albums from weddings they had attended to try to figure out what would be appropriate.  Little did I realize that there was a big hint right in front of me as to what was appropriate to wear - the invitation.

For really formal weddings, they'll usually spell it out for you in the bottom right corner.  Make sure to check if there is a specific dress code on the invitation and then dress appropriately.  A friend of mine managed to miss on his invitation that the dress code was black tie, and was the only person to show up in a regular suit - how embarrassing.

William and Kate, of course

But if your friends or family members weren't super specific about the dress code, you can still learn a lot from the location, time of day, and style of the invitation.  

I'm going to be doing a series over the next couple of weeks on what to wear to a wedding based on the invitation.  Stay tuned!
