The dress code for the Christmas wedding
First, check with your friends to see if there's a dress code for their wedding party – it's often mentioned on the invitation. If you prefer not to wait for it to arrive or if the dress code isn't listed, just ask the bride-to-be. This way, you'll be sure to choose the right festive dress for their wedding.
Little black dress
Your Little Black Dress is always a hit at any party! It's an absolute must-have in everyone's wardrobe because it suits every occasion where dressing up is a must. Whether it's a friend's birthday party, a New Year's reception, a dinner with colleagues, a romantic dinner with your partner, or a wedding: the Little Black Dress is always a good choice.
Don't have one yet? It's the ideal outfit for the upcoming festive season! If you already have one, just think: an extra one is always handy. Right? Make sure you don't go too dark for the wedding party, and pair the black dress with a pastel jacket or a beautiful scarf. You can also brighten up your outfit with brightly colored pumps or an eye-catching handbag.
Maxi dress
A maxi dress definitely belongs on the list of festive dresses for a Christmas wedding. When a dress is long, combined correctly, it immediately gives off a festive vibe. Pair a maxi dress for a wedding with elegant shoes, striking jewelry, a clutch, and a beautiful scarf. Even after the festive season, you can continue to wear a maxi dress with sporty sneakers and a denim or bomber jacket.
Long skirt
Like a maxi dress, a long skirt instantly makes you look festive. Choose an elegant model, in satin or tulle, with a plain print. Pairing it with a festive top, whether printed or not, completes your party outfit. You can wear your long skirt to every event, while different tops ensure you have a completely different look each time. A top investment indeed!
Bling bling
Brighten up your festive outfit with some bling bling. Pair your lovely long dress or skirt, or black dress with a bit more shine, silver, and gold, or even copper or soft pink glitter items to come out extra festive. With subtle glitter, you turn simple dresses into real festive dresses for a Christmas wedding.
No white
As a guest, you don’t wear white to a wedding, as this is the color the bride shines in. Unless the dress code is white, then you go – no, you must go – completely in white for once.
Mix & match
Finally: mix and match! Vary enough with that one party dress or special skirt. Switch up with different tops or jackets, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and scarves to create a sparkling new festive outfit each time in no time!
Tip: Hang your dress or skirt inside out on a hanger immediately after the party and let it air well to keep it fresh for every event.
