OOTD: How To Wear White To A Wedding

How to Wear White To A Wedding


Wearing White to a Wedding... It's like the ULTIMATE no-no, isn't it? And yet, come Summer / Wedding season, the shops are full with lovely floaty dresses that are ALL white!!? What's a girl to do?

Well, if you really, really have your eye on something, but don't want to break Wedding-Etiquette, here are my top tips on how to wear white to a Wedding:


1. Add in another colour! It's a no brainer! White, can be the main colour, but choose a dress with a black hem, or a bit of detail to mix it up.
2. Accessorise. A printed clutch or colourful shoes can add colour where there is no colour! If you know what I mean... Eg, If you look at the images where I am holding my patterned clutch in front of me, your eye thinks that the outfit is yellow, black and white, when really, it's largely white. Sneaky!

3. Check with the bride - if you're really not sure, or you don't know the bride that well, then it really is best to be safe than sorry!

I recently went to a Wedding where the bride wore a goooorgeous, long blue dress, so she was actively encouraging people to wear white! :-)

Outfit:

Checked Top - Marks and Spencer via Fashionchick
Skirt - Primark
Silver Heels - Zara (similar!)
Printed Zip Top Clutch Bag - Next
Leather Bangle - Reiss

  2. Monochrome is technically wearing white in my eyes so it's totally ok! I think we see a lot more white at weddings nowadays as people want their wedding parties to coordinate - I've seen so many white bridesmaid dresses (Kin K did this twice) and black/white dress code for guests xx

  3. I love what you've chosen to wear! The bright yellow clutch looks amazing with the white dress. For one of the weddings I'm attending this year I have picked a white, but floral patterned dress. But I have decided to wear a bright blazer with it and heels to make it 'less white!' As ever you look stunning Holly x

  5. Exactly!! I LOVE weddings where the Bridesmaids are in white or nude. (Unless you get upstaged by your Maid of Honour like Kate Middleton!) xxx

  10. Oh my gaaaad you look amazing! I don't think it is inappropriate at all to wear white as long as it isn't head to toe!


    I always love how you team together different prints! Looking beautiful as always!
