Consider the time of year and location of the wedding.

The time of year and location of the wedding will play a big role in determining what type of dress you choose. If the wedding is taking place in the summer, you'll want to choose a dress that is lightweight and breathable. If the wedding is taking place in the winter, you'll want to choose a dress that is warmer and more formal.

The location of the wedding will also affect your choice of dress. If the wedding is taking place on the beach, you'll want to choose a dress that is appropriate for a beach setting. If the wedding is taking place in a church, you'll want to choose a dress that is more formal.

Here are some specific things to consider when choosing a dress for a wedding based on the time of year and location: * **Summer weddings:** Choose a dress that is made from a lightweight fabric, such as cotton, linen, or silk. You may also want to choose a dress that is shorter in length, such as a knee-length or tea-length dress. * **Winter weddings:** Choose a dress that is made from a warmer fabric, such as wool, velvet, or lace. You may also want to choose a dress that is longer in length, such as a floor-length dress. * **Beach weddings:** Choose a dress that is made from a lightweight, breathable fabric, such as cotton or linen. You may also want to choose a dress that is shorter in length, such as a knee-length or tea-length dress. * **Church weddings:** Choose a dress that is more formal, such as a floor-length dress. You may also want to choose a dress that is made from a more formal fabric, such as silk or lace. By considering the time of year and location of the wedding, you can choose a dress that is appropriate for the occasion and that you'll feel comfortable and confident in.

Choose a dress that is appropriate for the **formality of the wedding.**

The level of **formality of the wedding** will also play a role in determining the type of dress you choose. Weddings can range from very casual to very formal, so it's important to choose a dress that is appropriate for the overall tone of the wedding.

**For casual weddings**, you can choose a dress that is more relaxed and comfortable, such as a knee-length dress or a jumpsuit. You can also choose a dress that is made from a more casual fabric, such as cotton or linen.

**For semi-formal weddings**, you can choose a dress that is more dressy than casual, such as a tea-length dress or a cocktail dress. You can also choose a dress that is made from a more formal fabric, such as silk or lace.

**For formal weddings**, you can choose a dress that is floor-length and made from a formal fabric, such as silk or lace. You can also choose a dress that has more elaborate detailing, such as beading or embroidery.

If you're not sure what the level of **formality of the wedding** is, it's always better to err on the side of caution and choose a dress that is more formal. You can always dress down a more formal dress with accessories, but you can't dress up a more casual dress to make it more formal.

Here are some specific examples of dresses that are appropriate for different levels of **formality of the wedding**: * **Casual weddings:** A knee-length dress made from cotton or linen, a jumpsuit, or a maxi dress. * **Semi-formal weddings:** A tea-length dress made from silk or lace, a cocktail dress, or a floor-length dress made from a more casual fabric, such as chiffon or satin. * **Formal weddings:** A floor-length dress made from silk or lace, a gown, or a dress with more elaborate detailing, such as beading or embroidery.

By considering the **formality of the wedding**, you can choose a dress that is appropriate for the occasion and that you'll feel comfortable and confident in.

Select a dress that fits your personal style.

Your personal style should also be a factor when choosing a dress for a wedding guest. You want to choose a dress that you feel comfortable and confident in, and that reflects your own unique style.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing a dress that fits your personal style:

* **Body type:** Choose a dress that is flattering to your body type. If you have a petite frame, you may want to choose a dress that is shorter in length or that has a more fitted silhouette. If you have a curvier figure, you may want to choose a dress that is more flowy or that has a more A-line silhouette. * **Color:** Choose a dress in a color that you love and that looks good on you. If you're not sure what colors look good on you, you can consult a color chart or ask a friend for advice. * **Pattern:** Choose a dress with a pattern that you like. If you prefer simple dresses, you may want to choose a dress with a solid color or a subtle pattern. If you prefer more bold dresses, you may want to choose a dress with a more eye-catching pattern. * **Accessories:** Consider the accessories that you will wear with your dress. If you plan on wearing a lot of jewelry, you may want to choose a dress with a simpler neckline. If you plan on wearing a more understated necklace, you may want to choose a dress with a more elaborate neckline. By considering your personal style, you can choose a dress that you love and that you'll feel great in.

Here are some specific examples of dresses that fit different personal styles:

* **Classic:** A simple, elegant dress in a solid color or a subtle pattern. * **Romantic:** A flowy, feminine dress with a floral pattern or a lace overlay. * **Modern:** A sleek, minimalist dress with a clean silhouette. * **Boho:** A relaxed, bohemian dress with a unique pattern or embroidery. * **Glamorous:** A sparkling, sequined dress with a fitted silhouette. No matter what your personal style is, you're sure to find a dress that you love at Nordstrom.

Be mindful of the dress code, if any.

Some weddings have a specific dress code, such as black tie or white tie. If the wedding you are attending has a dress code, it is important to follow it. Dressing appropriately for a wedding shows respect for the bride and groom and the other guests.

If the wedding does not have a specific dress code, it is still important to dress appropriately for the occasion. A good rule of thumb is to dress one step up from your everyday attire. For example, if you would normally wear jeans and a t-shirt to a casual event, you would want to dress up to a dress or skirt and blouse for a wedding.

Here are some specific examples of what to wear to a wedding with different dress codes:

* **White tie**: The most formal dress code. Women should wear floor-length evening dresses. Men should wear tuxedos. * **Black tie**: A very formal dress code. Women should wear floor-length evening dresses. Men should wear tuxedos. * **Black tie optional**: A slightly less formal dress code than black tie. Women can wear floor-length evening dresses or cocktail dresses. Men can wear tuxedos or suits. * **Formal**: A dressy dress code. Women can wear floor-length evening dresses or cocktail dresses. Men can wear suits or tuxedos. * **Semi-formal**: A dressy-casual dress code. Women can wear cocktail dresses or dressy separates. Men can wear suits or dress pants and a dress shirt. * **Casual**: A relaxed dress code. Women can wear sundresses or dressy separates. Men can wear khakis or dress pants and a collared shirt. If you are unsure about what to wear to a wedding, it is always better to err on the side of caution and dress more formally. You can always remove accessories or change your shoes to make your outfit less formal, but it is difficult to make a casual outfit more formal. By being mindful of the dress code, you can choose an outfit that is appropriate for the occasion and that you'll feel comfortable and confident in.

Consider the length of the dress.

The length of the dress is another important factor to consider when choosing a dress for a wedding guest. The length of the dress should be appropriate for the formality of the wedding and the time of year and location of the wedding.

For **formal weddings**, it is best to choose a dress that is floor-length. Floor-length dresses are more formal and elegant, and they are appropriate for weddings that are taking place in a church or other formal setting.

For **semi-formal weddings**, you can choose a dress that is either floor-length or tea-length. Tea-length dresses are shorter than floor-length dresses, but they are still more formal than knee-length dresses. Tea-length dresses are a good choice for weddings that are taking place in a less formal setting, such as a garden or outdoor wedding.

For **casual weddings**, you can choose a dress that is knee-length or shorter. Knee-length dresses are more casual than floor-length or tea-length dresses, and they are appropriate for weddings that are taking place in a very casual setting, such as a beach or backyard wedding.

Here are some specific examples of dresses that are appropriate for different lengths:

* **Floor-length dresses:** A long, elegant dress that is perfect for formal weddings. * **Tea-length dresses:** A shorter, more casual dress that is perfect for semi-formal weddings. * **Knee-length dresses:** A casual dress that is perfect for casual weddings. By considering the length of the dress, you can choose a dress that is appropriate for the formality of the wedding and the time of year and location of the wedding.

Accessorize appropriately.

Accessories can help to complete your look and make your outfit more formal or more casual. When choosing accessories for a wedding guest dress, there are a few things to keep in mind:

**Consider the formality of the wedding.** More formal weddings call for more formal accessories, such as a clutch bag, heels, and statement jewelry. Less formal weddings can be accessorized with more casual items, such as a crossbody bag, flats, and simple jewelry.

**Consider the time of year and location of the wedding.** If the wedding is taking place in the summer, you may want to choose accessories that are lightweight and airy, such as a straw bag and sandals. If the wedding is taking place in the winter, you may want to choose accessories that are warmer and more formal, such as a fur stole and boots.

**Consider your personal style.** Your accessories should reflect your own personal style. If you prefer simple and understated accessories, you may want to choose a pair of stud earrings and a delicate necklace. If you prefer more bold and statement-making accessories, you may want to choose a pair of chandelier earrings and a chunky necklace.

Here are some specific examples of accessories that are appropriate for different types of weddings:

* **Formal weddings:** A clutch bag, heels, statement jewelry, a fur stole, and gloves. * **Semi-formal weddings:** A crossbody bag, flats, simple jewelry, a light scarf, and a fascinator. * **Casual weddings:** A straw bag, sandals, simple jewelry, a sun hat, and sunglasses. By accessorizing appropriately, you can complete your look and make your outfit more formal or more casual.
