Wedding Dress Codes Explained - Your Guests Will Look Perfect!

Everyone in the wedding party has their wedding fashions picked out for them, so there is never any question as to what they should wear. Wedding guests, on the other hand, aren't always given a lot of guidance in this area.

There are common wedding phrases that can be included on the invitation to let guests know what type of clothing is expected at the ceremony and reception. Unfortunately, many people do not know exactly what is considered "Beach Formal" or "Black Tie Optional." 


Never fear. Brides of America has put together a quick summary of what each of the most popular wedding looks entails. Feel free to share this blog with your wedding guests to help them easily pick out their outfits for your special day. 

Casual

Guests are still expected to look their best, but in a more relaxed way. A casual ceremony usually takes place during the day. Gentlemen can wear a nice pair of dress pants and a dress shirt, but they can probably skip the tie. The ladies should wear a pretty skirt or pants with a nice top, or a sweet sundress is also welcome. If the ceremony will be an evening affair, upgrade your wardrobe to a more business-casual type of look.

Semi-formal

This style is also often referred to as "Dressy Casual." Still relaxed, but a little bit fancier. A dressy skirt and top or a cocktail dress is perfect for women to wear. The men should don a suit and tie in this case. Treat it like a very special evening out with a special date.   


Beach Formal

A ceremony in the sand calls for special clothing. You will want to wear something that is sensible in the current weather situation, plus shoes that are easy to walk a beach in. In other words, something comfortable, but dressier than a regular day at the beach. A formal summer sundress and some sandals will work for the ladies. Men should look for a lightweight suit, like linen, or khakis and a linen shirt. 

Black Tie Optional

Some couples may simply call this "Formal" also. Refined fashions in darker shades are generally expected. The gentlemen are welcome to dress in a tuxedo if they wish, but a dark suit and tie will work just fine. Women may wear a formal cocktail-length gown, long dress, or even a dressy suit.      


Black Tie

This type of wedding almost always takes place in the evening. Imagine you will be attending a formal gala or walking the red carpet. Men are expected to dress in a tuxedo with, as stated in the title, a black bow tie, plus a cummerbund. The ladies should put on a stunning cocktail dress or a beautiful full-length evening gown. 



White Tie

This is as formal as any wedding can get. A long, formal ball gown in a dark, neutral shade is perfect for the female guests. Fabulous hairstyles, dramatic makeup, and magnificent jewelry complete the look. The men should wear a long black tuxedo with tails, plus a white vest and bow tie. White gloves for dancing are even acceptable. 



As a wedding guest, if you are not sure what type of clothing you should wear, it never hurts to simply ask. The bride will be happy that you cared to find out instead of showing up in the wrong thing. 

If you will be needing an evening gown for a wedding, our special occasion dresses in Miami will outfit you perfectly. Brides of America will make sure that you are dressed correctly and look amazing at any wedding or other special event that you will be attending.

Outdoor Wedding Venues & the Perfect Wedding Fashions To Match

Summer simply begs for you to get outside and enjoy all of the beauty that nature has to offer. This is the season where many brides prefer to have an outdoor wedding. Below you will read about a few of Brides of America's favorite outside spots, plus see a few of the amazing wedding fashions available online and in our Miami bridal boutique that would look fabulous in them.  



By the Water

A summer wedding on a beach or by a serene lake makes for a fun, relaxing celebration, and the water is a gorgeous backdrop for photographs. If you will be getting married on a sandy beach, a shorter wedding dress that does not drag sand along with it as you walk is a good idea. There are lots of stylish sandals to choose from that all of your bridesmaids will look beautiful wearing and still be comfortable.



Wine Time

Wineries are wonderful venues to host a wedding at, especially when the vines are full and green in the summer. Often there will be an indoor area to use also, so you are able to have a portion of the event indoors and some of it outdoors. Pictures hiding among the vines can be both playful and elegant. While any colors that you love will work, this type of wedding makes us think of the rich hues of a deep red Cabernet or Merlot.  

Beautiful Blooms

Botanical gardens already have all of your wedding flowers in place for decoration. All you need to add is the fabulous fashion that you and your bridal party will be adorned in. Not only will everything look amazing, but it will smell wonderful too. Appliqued flowers on your gown brings the floral theme further into your wedding. Dresses with a bit of bounce and layers will make you look like a lovely bloom full of petals yourself.   



Fore!

Country Clubs are at their most gorgeous in the summer. The perfectly manicured greens on the golf course are pristine, and the landscaping is always overflowing with delightful flowers and plants. Like the wineries, you will have the ability to choose which portions of your wedding will be indoors and which to host outside. Country Clubs portray a certain elegance, and continuing that through your bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses will enthrall all of your guests. 


No matter where you decide to say "I do," you will always find the perfect style at our South Florida wedding dress boutique. We are an authorized retailer of every Mori Lee collection, and they always design the most exquisite gowns for every woman in your wedding. Tell us all about your venue, and Brides of America will help you find you something amazing to wear that will both wow your guests and be comfortable no matter what the weather or terrain. 



The gown of your dreams awaits you.

Brides Love Our Wedding Dresses with Elegant Crystals and Beading

Fashions don't only change from season to season, but as David Abadi, owner of Brides of America, says, "Fashion changes every day!" A trend is defined as "the general direction followed; the general course of prevailing tendency." While every bride has her own personal sense of style, wedding dress fashions seem to have trends that a majority of women lean towards at different moments in time. 




Over the past month, the most popular trend that we have been getting requests for at our Miami Bridal Boutique is wedding gowns adorned with beading and crystals. Wedding dresses with this lovely detail shine like they are covered in tiny, sparkling stars in photographs. 




"I love the glamour of our collection of wedding dresses that are highlighted with beading and crystals," says David. Brides seem to have the look of royalty in this type of gown. The intricate detail involved in expertly placing each bead and crystal is one factor that makes a wedding dress positively captivating. 


If you are the type of woman that loves a little, or a lot, of sparkle in her look every day, then choosing a bridal gown covered in beading and crystals is a natural way to go. We don't want for you to consider this type of wedding dress because it is a popular trend at the moment, but rather choose it because you love the way it looks and makes you feel when you have it on. 

  




The goal of our wedding dress store in Miami is to help every bride narrow down the search for the perfect bridal gown until "the one" is evident. Brides of America will listen to your likes, dislikes, wants, needs, and dreams, then assist you in finding that dress of your dreams to get married in. 


The gown of your dreams awaits you.
