| How to Dress for a Summer Wedding Summer boasts more weddings than any other time of
year. If you're sharing in a joyful event this season, heed a few simple rules before
packing your bags.
Tips and Ideas:
- Research the location, as summer in many
places means hot and incredibly humid conditions. In this instance choose lightweight
fabrics such as cotton and linen to stay cool. Leave the silk at home - although it's
light in texture, it's an insulator and may render you miserable.
- Check with the bridal party or someone close
to them. How would they prefer the guests dress?
- Opt for dressy, not formal, if you're
unsure. Women will dazzle in a sundress or satin skirt, twinset, sling-back pumps and nice
jewelry. A suit is most appropriate for men, with dress slacks, a dress shirt and tie a
close second.
- Wear comfortable dress shoes. Although
you'll sit through the ceremony and dinner, dancing late into the evening is a definite
possibility.
- Take layers. Summer nights can get cool, not
to mention the threat of an overzealous indoor cooling system.
- Remember sunglasses and sunscreen for
outdoor ceremonies and festivities. Stash an umbrella in the car in case a summer shower
dampens the occasion.
- Leave the glitz, glamour and sparkle at
home. All eyes are on the bride today, so don't challenge her place in the spotlight with
a long beaded gown or sexy cocktail dress.
