Wedding Guest Style: What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding
Continuing on our wedding wardrobe series, black tie is today’s destination.
Elegant and ceremonious, a black tie affair requires a gown as formal as the occasion. From receiving line to champagne toast, it is an affair to remember.
Ball gowns and dresses are in order for such an event. Carefully balancing your choice between your personality, the venue, the happy couple, and the tone of the wedding.
Choose accordingly. Age-appropriateness need be addressed. If in your 30’s, choose a garment that has a pop of color or subtle shimmer. If in your 40’s, choose a belted waist, lace or bold (never garish) print. If in your 50’s, choose delicate and subtle prints or muted pastels. All that’s left now is a glass slipper.
