1. Choose a Flattering Dress but Stay Away from White
When you’re choosing what to wear to a wedding, there’s one important rule. You want to stay away from white and ivory. Those are the colors that belong to the bride. Other than that, choose a dress that’s flattering to your figure. Of course a pants suit is acceptable too, if that’s more your style.
2. Treat Yourself to a Mani & Pedi
Attending a wedding is a perfect reason to treat yourself to a mani & pedi. You can also do them yourself at home. Having your nails done will make you feel pulled together. It’s one of those extra things that add a special touch. If this isn’t something you normally do for yourself then it’ll feel even more special.

3. Wear Your Favorite Lipstick
It’s amazing how lovely your favorite lipstick can make you feel. A wedding is a perfect opportunity to wear something you love. If you don’t have a favorite lipstick then go for the one that you’ve received the most compliments on. If you’re still not sure or can’t recall any compliments then ask a friend to help you choose a shade. Nude lipsticks are very in right now, if you need another helpful hint.
4. Choose the Perfect Bag
You’ll look your best when you’re carrying the perfect bag. What’s the perfect bag? That all depends on the type of wedding you’re attending and what you’re wearing. If you’re attending a formal wedding then a little clutch would be perfect. If it’s a more casual affair then you have a lot more leeway in the bag you choose. Solids are always a good choice because they don’t compete with your dress.
5. Don’t Forget Accessories
For many years, I underestimated the power of accessories. Then I discovered that they can absolutely make an outfit come together. They’re the icing on the cake! To look your best, wear accessories. If you’re confused about what to wear, take your dress to a shop that specializes in accessories such as Charming Charlie or Claire’s and ask an associate to help you.
