When you are dressing for a big occasion such as a family wedding, it can be difficult to find a balance between a glamorous piece that you would wear for a night out and a subtle, classy outfit which is suitable for a formal ceremony, even a church service. As we all know, there are certain rules that apply when dressing for a wedding ceremony. For ladies, you should be sure to dress somewhat conservatively and ensure that you are not displaying too much skin, make sure your outfit fits correctly as you will likely be wearing it for many hours, particularly if you are a guest who is invited to the day time and evening celebrations and you will want to be comfortable for the duration of the event. Heels are always a glamorous addition to any outfit and will make you feel glamorous and special but be sure to break them in prior to the event so you will not be suffering blisters as you dance the night away.
Many of our traditional Bridal Fabrics are not only suitable for dressing the bride but are also ideal for wedding guest attire. Of course, the last thing any wedding guest wants is to upstage the bride so white is always a no-no but with our wide range of stunning colour choices this should not leave you short of options. For a summer wedding, choose vibrant colours and bold prints using Bridal Fabrics with a gorgeous drape and movement such as Cationic Chiffon. This two tone, iridescent Bridal Fabric is made to mimic the look and feel of real silk and is available in striking shades of pink and orange. Our bright purple Cationic Chiffon is a particularly popular choice this year as it has been named the colour of the season by many of the top fashion publications and by Pantone. It is always lovely to have a brand new outfit ready for a special occasion but if you are budget conscious, don't be afraid to re-wear something that you already have in your wardrobe. Kate Middleton wore a stunning Erdem dress for a friends wedding in late 2012 that she had initially worn for the Trooping the Colour Ceremony earlier in the year.

Lace Bridal Fabrics are a popular choice with wedding guests and can be used as an overlay alongside a number of other Bridal Fabrics including satin and taffeta or dressmaking fabrics including bi-stretch to create elegant, feminine gowns which will take you from the formal daytime ceremony through to the evening celebrations. For added elegance, choose simple silhouettes dressed up with accessories, a pair of killer heels and a statement head piece such as a hat or fascinator. Although every wedding guest should steer clear from turning up to a wedding ceremony dressed head to toe in a white, floaty dress, this does not mean that the colour cannot feature in your outfit at all. Over the past few years, the monochrome trend has continued to grow in popularity and is popular for wedding guests whatever the season. Monochrome is the ideal choice for any celebration whether a formal ceremony, a city chic celebration or a relaxed summer event as it is easily adaptable and flattering on most body shapes.

For guests who are invited to the evening do only there are less rules when it comes to your attire but that does not mean that you can let your fashion guard down. Remember that you are still going to feature in many of the happy couples wedding pictures so items such as jeans are not normally acceptable. However, it is possible to wear something less formal than you would for a daytime ceremony. For summer weddings, printed dresses paired with a simple blazer and a pair of on-trend wedges are ideal. For winter celebrations a beautiful pair of tailored trousers with a feminine blouse made from elegant, feminine Bridal Fabrics such as Chiffon and for an added point of interest choose printed Chiffon fabrics. An outfit of trousers and a blazer will ensure that you still look the height of style but will protect you against the elements.
