Being a guest at a wedding is almost more fun than actually being in the wedding party. You get to take in all the decor, dance the night away, and eat until your heart's content. Your only true responsibility is to choose the right outfit that fits the wedding's dress code. So what exactly do you wear to a formal wedding?
Well, let's break It down. A formal wedding doesn't necessarily mean black tie so you have more options to choose from. Formal usually means that the event will take place in the evening, and you can wear anything from a fancy cocktail dress to a sequin gown and everything in between. Depending on the season, any color is acceptable, as long as you don't choose a look that will upstage the bride (that's a huge no no).
