WGA’s Picks: What To Wear To A Wedding
13 Sep
Some of us love the festive season of Christmas, others adore the calamity of ushering in Chinese New Year. Aptly so for me (since I write for Wedding Guide Asia), I love none other than back-to-back wedding season and nights and nights of good food, champagne and the thought of celebrating nothing other than love.
Since wedding season is looming around the corner (and for those of us eagerly awaiting Elaine’s fabulous do), here are a few of WGA’s best pick on ‘What to wear’ to the different types of matrimonial celebrations.
For the ‘I-do’s at a Church:
Do: As fashionable as one might be, do try and be thoughtful in a place of worship. One can still be elegant without showing too much skin.
Don’t: wear white, unless you are the bride. It is just disrespectful.
From L to R: Clutch bag by Top Shop/ Dress by Victoria Beckham/ Headband by Sereni and Shentel
For ‘signing the register’ in the Garden:
Do: keep your dress fun and informal. Bright colours are perfectly appropriate in a botanical setting.
Don’t: wear a garment made with thick fabric in dark colours. It often gets hot and humid outdoors and a sweaty look is something nobody can pull off.
From L to R: Dress by Matthew Williamson/ Day bag by Chanel/ Charm bracelet by Thomas Sabo
For an afternoon Chinese Tea ceremony:
Do: embrace the Chinese culture and wear a Cheongsam/ QiPao. Traditional does not have to mean ‘boring’, stay stylish by choosing a Cheongsam with a modern twist.
Don’t: opt for a costume that has heavy ornate beading especially in gold and red, you don’t want to be mistaken for the bride.
From L to R: Clutch bag by Mulberry/ Dress by Shanghai Tang/ Earrings by Accessorize
For a night under the stars, by the beach: (more…)
