6 Dress Code Principles for Every Bride to Follow

Brides are expected to follow some certain dress code rules. Sometimes ladies make mistakes. The list below presents the most common dress code mistakes and teaches brides the right things.

You should always do the following:

1. Remember the time of day.

Never ignore the time. If the ceremony is arranged in the early afternoon, you might expect to see your guests in relatively casual dresses and sun gowns. In the later afternoon people should wear more formal clothes.

2. Follow directions.

You should not skip directions. Let your guests be informed about the dress code by giving them some information and clues. Some of the people might not know it all about the rules and requirements.

3. Pay attention to the weather.

Weather conditions should be taken into consideration. Check out the weather forecast in order to be aware of the temperature. Do not make your guests attend the party wearing tuxedos if it’s over 90 degrees outside.

4. Too much creativity.

Do not get too creative with your dress code. When sending invitation and clues about the dress code, remember to tell your guests specific things that would not let them get lost in too many interpretations. A ‘relaxed’ dress code may mean jeans and sweaters as well as cocktail dresses and plenty of sequins.

5. Proofreading is helpful.

We recommend you should pass on the proofread. Every dress code should be given an explanation. This will help avoid possible misunderstandings. Your guests cannot read your mind and each person’s opinion regarding styles and colors is different. Give examples of what ladies and gentleman should wear during the ceremony.

6. Your dress code should fit the venue.

Remember about the venue. The place where you are planning to hold the ceremony is very important. Consider it before you set your dress code. Everything should feel and look balanced and stylish. Dress code for an industrial space is different from that we see at a garden party.
