What to Wear to a Wedding

By Eileen Conlan, MarieClaire.com editor.

Country-Club Nuptials 


Nothing is more garish at a preppy noon wedding than edgy couture. Stick to pastel tea-length or eyelet dresses and peep-toe flats so you don’t poke Louboutin-size holes in that prize-winning golf course.

Vegas, Baby 


Finally, a wedding where cleavage is acceptable. Wear something comfy enough to take you from the wedding to the craps table to the plane — it's gonna be a long night.

Black-Tie Basics


Don't buck tradition: Pony up for a timeless, long black-and-white strapless or short-sleeve gown. Gloves optional. (But if — like us — you eat, beware: Those things are a major pain during the passed hors d’oeuvres.

Justice of the Peace Witness 


If the no-frills bride is saying "I do" in an all-business pants ensemble after work, complement with a neutral sheath (no loud patterns) and wedges — then buy the first bottle of rosé at the wine bar after-party.

The Dreaded Themed Affair 


Great Gatsby glam? Try a drop-waist frock with a feathered cloche (yes, feathers!). Medieval madness? Eschew elf ears for a plum gown and decadent jewels. You’ll thank us when the online photo album goes live.

Beachfront Blowout 


The long, print maxi dress was made for exotic locales. Since you've spent your savings on a ticket, skip the shoe splurge and slip into metallic gladiator sandals. The 5'4" groomsman will thank you.
