Wink Spot: What should YOU wear??

Since you now know a little about wedding attire as a bride or bridesmaid, the last segment is about most of you: the wedding guest. What should you wear? Definitely don't go to a wedding with your significant other in matching Hawaiian print, with the woman in a muu-muu (as Lindsay and I witnessed at a wedding last summer). Not cool. But hey, pretty entertaining for the rest of us guests! :P

When deciding what to wear, pay attention to the invitation to see if it specifies for you, such as black-tie or semi-formal. Also pay attention to the time of day and season. For example, if it's a daytime summer wedding, a light colored floral dress is cute (especially if it's outdoor near the beach or in a garden). However, if it's an evening wedding, no matter the season, you can get away with wearing darker colors- even black! Wearing black is no longer considered taboo for an evening wedding. A color to NEVER ever wear? You get one guess.... Yup, that's right, no WHITE. It's not polite to take attention away from the bride by wearing her color. She needs to stand out. So that also means no ivory as well. It is OK though to have ivory or white as a background color if wearing a print in other colors. Just never solid white/ivory. That should be a no brainer.

Generally you shouldn't wear much sequins (unless it's a black tie affair). If black tie is requested, wear a formal long gown or fancier cocktail dress. Lastly, know ahead of time if the ceremony is at a church or synagogue; you don't want to show too much skin (i.e., your shoulders should be covered with a wrap or shawl).

Now here's some dresses I found online that are great for weddings this spring/summer.
