Wedding Dress Codes: What To Wear For Every Type Of Event

 
You’ve saved the date. Now it's time find your wedding guest look. Getting dressed for a wedding is one of my favorite things to do. It's exciting because you are likely to see old friends and family. Dressing up is always a sign of respect to your hosts, the bride and groom, and the occasion. This pretty post will put you on the best dressed guest list for any type of wedding.

 

~ Black Tie & Black Tie Optional ~
Personally, I wear just about the same type of dress/pants to each one of these kind of weddings. Mr. Shop This always opts for a tuxedo, and we like to dress with the same vibe. These dress codes call for a very dressy look, and always means a tie for a man.

Zimmermann Rhythmic Skirt
The most expensive of the edit, and of course, my favorite. Everything about the look is such a modern way to be formal. I would so wear this.
Theia Couture Gail Dress
Captivating florals create a spring and summer look perfect for cocktails and weddings.
Neiman Marcus (on sale)  or Saks

Solace London Ziya Maxi
The highlight of this dress is the diaphanous organza sleeves. Price is relative, but I do think that this style looks more expensive than it is.

Two-Tone Sequin Column Gown
Pastel pretty! You'll shine all night long in this gorgeous gown.

Fleur of Dreams 
Sheer and gauzy, this fab floral is a budget buy coming in just under $100. 

~ Cocktail Chic ~
Cocktail attire is a bit wide in interpretation. Most likely your event is after 5PM. If it is just cocktails without dinner or dancing, one can be a bit more casual. If all of the above is included, then feel free to dress up.

Raegan Jumpsuit
The perfect jumpsuit! It's understated yet ready to party. I would add a little sparkle to my wrist and ears just to elevate the look
Halston


The Rani
A classic tea length party dress. You could imagine Audry Hepburn or Grace Kelly wearing it, as easily as you could yourself. The shell pink is stunning.

Halpern Ombré Sequined Midi 
One of my favorites of the edit. It's just so cocktail chic.

Self Portrait Polka Dot Dress
Effortless with delicious details. Those tulle sleeves are something!

Andrea Iyamah Midi Sheath
This stunning sheath is perfectly nipped and tailored. The color green is wonderful!

~ Beach Chic ~
You will want to wear something cool and comfortable. Maxi's and midis are a chic choice because sandals work perfectly with most of them. Leave the sequins and daisy dukes at home.

Tory Burch Coffee Stripe Poplin Dress
Beach party perfection! It's sold out at Saks and Tory Burch, but Neiman's has it in all sizes.

Oahu Maxi
Crafted in organic cotton, you will be as cool as the sea breeze in this beach chic maxi.

Floral Print Jumpsuit
A tropical and terrific look for a beachside ceremony. It's a budget buy at under $100.
Proenza Schouler Draped Maxi 
Sunset service? You are all set. You will be the most comfortable guest in this caftan-like maxi. Beach chic for sure.
Moda Operandi

Hellessy Skirt & Top
This outfit can really fit into most types of weddings. It's a bit pricey but oh so lovely. If you are packing for a destination wedding, the top is also great with jeans or other pants.

Farm Rio Monstera Jumpsuit
Heading to the tropics? This linen jumpsuit is party perfect. 
Saks  or  Anthropologie

~ Upscale Casual ~
I heard this term on television today. Anytime I hear the word casual, it worries me. So let's concentrate on the word "upscale."  A good interpretation would be something better than you would wear everyday. It's likely a daytime event, so no rhinestones. Jackets without a tie for gentlemen. And certainly no jeans, unless it is a barn wedding.
Cloud Burst Midi
What a radiant and elevated day look! Created from a linen blend, and it is just lovely. 
Moda Operandi

V. Chapman Lily Dress
The perfect balance of playful and sophistication. And who doesn't feel pretty in pink?

Lysette Dress
Chic and sophisticated. This fresh squeezed style is lovely for so many events.


Larkyn Dress
Love the pop of color in this  crisp cotton  dress. You will wear this style over and over.

Sachin & Babi Jacqueline Maxi
For some, this dress would be an evening look. It's beautiful in cotton, but not a formal at all. I think it is perfect for an afternoon wedding. Loving the black tassels paired with the navy dress.
