Got that invitation for a formal event and confused as to what to wear? Well the first step is to determine just how formal the event is. The type of invitation you receive can do this. While a flowing engraved invitation with formal language can imply a formal event, an invitation cheekily suggesting that you come see us get hitched suggests a nice casual outfit. Women’s special occasion apparel caters to the needs of all these options.
Most times, the most difficult occasion to shop for is a wedding. Firstly, an outside wedding may call for light yet modest dress, but there is always that fear of the heels sinking into the sand or grass. A daytime wedding can indicate the acceptance of a fun floral dress, which can be really pretty, especially when donned with a beautiful hat that matches. An evening wedding however would suggest a simple cocktail dress – not too sexy, yet spunky and fun to dance in; casual dresses that you wear to special dinners would be appropriate also. Dark colors tend to be more formal. For really formal weddings – the black tie weddings – floor length cocktail dresses are ideal, with a beaded purse and fancy wraps; but nothing too constricting.
