Looking for a cute maxi dress for a wedding? I’ve got you covered. An elegant maxi dress is my usual go-to as a wedding guest. Just make sure you don’t go to over-the-top and outshine the bride. Keep in mind shoe height when it comes to the maxi dress to avoid tripping or having your dress drag on the ground.

It’s perfectly fine to wear black to a wedding – so long as it’s an evening wedding. In fact, a new wedding trend has emerged where all guests are asked to wear black to the wedding. And since black is a universally flattering color – I’m definitely on board.

Make sure to always check the invitation to know what kind of dress you should wear to the wedding. A cocktail dress will usually do the trick – or if you’re at a beach wedding, a cute and airy sun dress can be the best option. However, “black tie” usually requires a little bit more thought and effort. Dresses should be floor length and be a certain level of “chic”.
