How to Dress for a Wedding. The bride and her dress should be the center of attention
on her wedding day. Follow this advice to make sure you are not the one standing out
in the crowd. You will need Location of the wedding Weather forecast and invitation to
a wedding. Step 1. Consider the location. The reception venue will provide you wit a
clue as to how formal the wedding will be. A country club or hotel calls for formal attire,
whereas a beach or outdoor wedding calls for more casual dress. Step 2. Watch the weather
forecast, especially if the wedding or reception is being held outside. Steer clear of high-heel
shoes for outdoor weddings. The heels will sink into the sand and lawn. Step 3. Read
the invitation carefully. It may mention casual, proper, or black tie attire requested. Redefine
your understanding of casual attire. Jeans are never recommended. A cotton suit or sundress
for women and khaki pants and a shirt with a collar for men are as casual as you should
go. Step 4. Consider the time of the reception. Morning or early afternoon weddings are more
casual than dinnertime or evening ones. Step 5. Do not wear white to a wedding. You never
want to be mistaken as the bride or take the attention away from her. Did you know Veils
were originally worn by ancient Greeks and Romans to protect the bride from evil spirits.
