SEATTLE — Tips for wedding guests from Stylist Darcy Camden from Styled Seattle.
SCENARIO #1: Black Tie Optional, daytime outdoor wedding
The challenge: Formal dressing on a hot day!
The style solution: Cocktail length dress, slightly below the knee in a vibrant, dramatic pattern, with block heeled sandals (for walking on grass), fancy accessories and an organza wrap.
SCENARIO #2: PNW Beach wedding
The challenge: Wind! And rocky beach
The style solution: A matte jersey jumpsuit won’t wrinkle and will handle better in the wind than a dress or skirt. Need a wrap for some warmth or arm coverage? Check the bathing suit coverup section!
SCENARIO #3: Festive Western
The challenge: Dressing on theme without being too casual or looking like a costume.
The style solution: A long floral print dress with a denim blazer, pretty jewelry and great cowboy boots.
SCENARIO #4: Black and White wedding
The challenge: Not too much black or too much white (leave the all white gown for the bride!)
The style solution: Black party dress (nuuly.com) with white blazer, clutch and kitten heels.
SCEANRIO #5: The outfit change (elegant late morning ceremony, followed by evening reception and ceremony with a break in the middle)
The challenge: Preparing two outfits for one day!
The style solution: Embrace the concept! Sometimes finding two dresses is easier than honing in on a single perfect dress that does everything. Take advantage of the opportunity to change your look to go with the flow of the day.
