10 Ideal Outfits to Wear to a Wedding
Find the perfect outfit to wear as a guest
Picking the perfect outfit to wear as a wedding guest can be tricky. You want to look fabulous, but you don't want to outshine the bride. The old adage of not wearing white, unless you're the bride, holds true. Avoiding other wedding colors such as ivory is also a good rule of thumb, and black is best avoided unless it's an evening event.
