It’s 2023 which means we are past the years of COVID and we no longer have to sit in sweatpants while being cooped up in our homes. We are ready to go out to elegant events and show off our best style, and weddings are a favorite way to do that. Now more than ever, guests are excited to display their best looks through fashion, bold statement pieces, and have some fun with their wedding fits! Guests will take months to figure out the perfect outfit to wear.

It is now more common for couples to not only provide a dress code (black tie, formal, semi-formal, cocktail, or casual) for their guests, but also a theme for them as well. This allows guests to fit into the theme of the wedding and have their part in creating the desired aesthetic and vibe for the day. Here are some examples:

• Pink Encouraged
• All Black formal gowns for ladies, black tuxedos for men
• Neutrals Requested
• All White (remember, only wear white if it’s requested by the couple)
• Color Encouraged
• Garden Formal

There are so many different themes guests can be included in and it’s a great way for guests to elevate the overall atmosphere of the wedding. Keep in mind, trends are constantly evolving, and personal style should always be a priority when choosing your wedding guest attire. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident in whatever you decide to wear while adhering to any dress code specified by the couple.
