What should a guest wear to a summer wedding?

Guests should first and foremost adhere to any dress code guidelines the couple provides.

Think: floor length gown or an elevated cocktail dress or pantsuit.

What color guest dress is best for summer wedding?

Summer weddings offer a ton of flexibility when it comes to what color dress guests can wear.

alt

There is one color to avoid at all costs, though.

White dresses should be reserved for brides unless the couple specifically requests that guests arrive in the snowy shade.

Its best to avoid any color that can read too white in person or in photos as well.

alt

So, skip shades like champagne, ivory, super pale pink and nudes.

Red is another color that you may want to avoid, but it really depends on the couple.

There are also cultures that reserve the color red for brides.
