Recently, I have received a few invitations to weddings. Two things that have to be considered before the wedding: what to wear and what to buy as a wedding present. Today, I want to show you three totally different options of dresses you can wear as a wedding guest.
All dresses are by US-label Adrianna Papell and part of the Spring 2012 evening collection and – what’s also important – they are affordable. In Germany, the dresses are available at Karstadt.
The dresses, I chose, are all knee-length or maxi-dresses, so you can wear them in a church combined with a blazer or cardigan.
The first dress is my favorite! Sadly, it was a little too big at the shooting, but I just fell in love with this dress. It’s perfect for a summer or spring wedding. Long dresses are just always very elegant and suitable for a big wedding. Don’t go crazy on the jewelry though! I simply wore my Tiffany & Co. necklace and a sparkling necklace worn as a bracelet by Coast.

This dress is cute, stylish but not too flashy, so you can also wear it – or similar dresses – to a wedding in a smaller town.

The last dress is very elegant, but has an eye-catching back with sewed on flowers. This might be a little too much for a wedding in a small town, but if your friends work in fashion, or the wedding is very glamorous, you can go with this dress.

If you think about, what to wear to a wedding, make sure that the bride should be the center of attention. I would not wear a white or light beige dress. Furthermore, even though it might be okay nowadays, I would never wear black to a wedding – black suits for our boyfriends are alright of course.
