5 biggest mistakes a wedding guest can make

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Invited to your colleague’s wedding and cannot decide what to wear? Well, this is a situation almost everyone is familiar with. No matter which dress you choose for the wedding, you should be aware of the five biggest mistakes that you should steer clear of. The first mistake is to wear white. It is the bride who usually wears white so try not to wear a white dress unless it has some very bold colored patterns.

The second mistake is to wear black. Black actually shows disapproval of the marriage and also signifies mourning. So it’s best to leave black dresses out. The third mistake is wearing bright red dresses. Red draws attention and it’s not great attracting the eye during your friend’s wedding. Stick to pale or muted shades of red. The fourth mistake is ignoring the wedding dress code. Always stick to the style of outfit mentioned in the invitation card. The fifth mistake is, dressing like a bridesmaid. Since you are attending the wedding as a guest your dress should not be too similar to the bridesmaids’ dresses either.

Men and women through decades have tried to innovate with their hairstyles, which stands for the style quotient. But getting a new hairdo for wedding occasions require you to be really bold, as well as classy. Your unique hairstyle can draw the entire limelight on you, and make you the center of attraction. Most people opt for the relaxed waves, which can be made to look messy, or beachy, or even elegant and smooth, depending on your requirement.

You can also try out the knot or bun style, which suits most women. Provided you have extraordinarily long hair, braids will be perfectly suited for you. You also need to keep a few fringes and tendrils of hair free, so that it can spring around your face and impart a romantic look. But don’t fall for the clichéd French braids, since it’s too reminiscent of the 1980s. But one extended loose braid can seal the deal for you, thereby reflecting a soft, flirty and vintage look.
