Wedding season has arrived, and there are probably a few events that require you to go full glam, including donning a fancy frock.

What to consider before buying a wedding guest dress
Before buying a dress to wear while attending a wedding, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Dress code
It’s important to be aware of the dress code of each wedding you attend. If it’s casual, a nice sundress with sandals will work. If it’s semiformal or dressy casual, think relaxed cocktail: midi dresses, elegant jumpsuits and wrap dresses. If it’s considered a cocktail-style function, a midi dress in fancier fabrics than you might choose for semiformal is ideal. A knee-length cocktail dress or a maxi dress is the perfect fit for a black tie-optional wedding; if it’s a black tie occasion, you go full-length gown in gorgeous fabrics like silk, chiffon and satin.
Time of the wedding
Another thing to consider is the time of day. If the wedding is during the day, opt for light colors, and if it’s at night, bold, dark colors are more appropriate.
