But as the search for the perfect outfit begins, the more confusing it can get! Here are our five top tips for making a good guest outfit choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Number one<\/strong> \u2013 we have to point out the obvious. Don\u2019t wear white! Unless you\u2019ve been asked to\u2026! Sometimes the invite will make requests of your attire, whether formal or informal and if the bride\u2019s wearing something unconventional, there may be a request to wear something in contrast. \u00a0But the general rule stands. You\u2019ll be the talk of the day, which isn\u2019t what you want! It also pays to be aware of any wedding accent colours \u2013 take your cues from the invite, it\u2019s not ideal to look like the extra mismatched wannabe bridesmaid either! Having a pattern or print on your outfit can help to avoid all this.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_197412\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-197412\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-197412 size-large\" title=\"What to wear to a wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1041x1080.jpg\" alt=\"What to wear to a wedding\" width=\"696\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1041x1080.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-500x519.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-513x532.jpg 513w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-768x797.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-696x722.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1068x1108.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-405x420.jpg 405w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1920x1991.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-197412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-197412 size-large\" title=\"What to wear to a wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1041x1080.jpg\" alt=\"What to wear to a wedding\" width=\"696\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1041x1080.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-500x519.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-513x532.jpg 513w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-768x797.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-696x722.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1068x1108.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-405x420.jpg 405w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vogue-in-vines-asos-dress-1920x1991.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/noscript> Bold and beautiful &#8211; prints avoid awkward matching mistakes.
