Heading to a wedding?

Rest assured that wearing lace dresses to weddings is both appropriate and stylish! Nothing says, “love and tradition” quite like lace. The latest lace wedding guest dresses are an ideal mashup of softness, class, and contemporary flair. Just make sure that you’re choosing the right lace dresses for weddings. While staying true to yourself, your lace dress should also embrace a level of modesty appropriate for the occasion. Follow these few quick tips to nail your look for the nuptials.

1. Keep it classy with the cut.

Dresses for weddings should be stylish, not sexy, so it’s important to bear in mind which cuts are suitable for weddings.

• Semi-formal lace dresses with higher necklines deserve high praise for their unique blend of modesty and trendiness. Ever flaunted lace dresses with faux-collars? Faux collars and other types of unique high necklines make lace wedding-guest dresses a little more exciting while keeping things classy.
• Coverage is key. Go for sleeves of any length and avoid daring cutouts. You can get the appeal of real cutouts with Illusion mesh insets or panels.

2. Look for length.

No, you don’t need to wear a floor-length gown for all weddings! Save those fancy long lace gowns for black-tie formal weddings. When it comes to short lace wedding-guest dresses, err on the side of longer is better and avoid mini dresses. Short, knee-length, midi, or tea-length are all respectable choices for weddings. Listen to your instinct, and let the level of formality of the ceremony dictate your decision.

3. Focus on the fit.

Lace dresses come in all shapes and sizes (just like the gals wearing them), so it’s important to find the fit that flatters, not flaunts. It’s fine to wear lace dresses for weddings that accentuate the figure in a well-tailored fashion, but avoid those that are overly clingy.

4. Don’t steal the spotlight with sparkle.

Dresses for weddings can have a little shimmer, but your lace dress shouldn’t be the center of attention. Save the serious sparkle for a different occasion. Opt for lace wedding-guest dresses with beaded waistbands or a few subtle embellishments over head-to-toe sequined details or layers of glitter lace.

5. Avoid white, at all costs!

White lace dresses are rarely, if ever, acceptable wedding guest dresses. Even though more brides are branching out from the standard color, white lace dresses are almost always reserved for the bride. Any shade of white dresses for weddings could take attention away from the most important woman of the event. So, what colors are good to wear to weddings? Light colored lace dresses are a safe bet as long as they can’t be mistaken for white, but you’re probably better off going with dark or multicolored formal and semi-formal lace dresses.

Figuring out what to wear to weddings isn’t a perfect science, but finding appropriate lace dresses for weddings is as easy as these five steps! Just stick to these little tips to make sure that your lace wedding guest dress offers an on-point look for celebrating the happy couple.

If You’re Short and Buying a Jumpsuit...

Tailored jumpsuits (as in, nothing too drapey or oversized) are going to look best on you if you’re petite. So as you shop, look for a slim-fitting and cropped jumpsuit style similar to this gold and black V-neck jumpsuit by Simply Dresses.

If You’re Tall And Buying a Jumpsuit...

As you go to look for a great jumpsuit that will complement your body type, start with the pant leg. A nice wide legged jumpsuit, like this maroon jumpsuit with a flutter V-neckline, will play up your height and elongate your frame.

Looking for a jumpsuit style that plays up your curves and gives you shape? For your next formal event or wedding look for plus-size jumpsuits with a belt at the natural waist and a wide pant leg.

If You’re Looking for a Formal Jumpsuit...

Formal jumpsuits are a fabulous unexpected alternative to formal dresses. The trick to ensuring your jumpsuit looks elevated enough for a formal event is in the tailoring, fabric and neckline. Look for structured styles (cropped if you’re shorter and wide leg if you’re taller), finer fabrics (like chiffon or even velvet) and open necklines (like strapless or even one-shoulders).

If You’re Looking for a Casual Jumpsuit...

Printed fabrics, loose-fitting styles and drawstring belts are all going to give your jumpsuit a more laid-back look. (PS We have lots of cute casual jumpsuits in our Simply Dresses gallery!)
