How to Dress For a Wedding
An Interview with Monique Lhuillier
A Los Angeles-based fashion designer, Lhuillier has made wedding
gowns for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Jewel.
A wedding is a celebration, and your clothes should reflect that. The
pictures of that day are going to be in the bride’s and groom’s lives
forever, and beautifully dressed guests really help set the mood.
Dress Up. Being underdressed is the worst feeling, so I’d rather
overdo it. Even if an invitation says “casual attired,” the furthest you
should take that is a floaty cocktail dress or simple sheath. For a
black-tie wedding, a long, formal dress is always appropriate, but if
you’d rather go short, choose something knee-length in an opulent
fabric. Silk charmeuse has a glamourous, ‘30s vibe and looks
effortless but still fancy.
Take a hint. The location of the event is a big clue about what to
wear. If the wedding is on a beach in Mexico, it’s pretty obvious that
you should stay away from heavy beading. I love chiffon for a resort
wedding. It’s romantic, dreamy, and elegant. If the party is in a more
traditional setting, like a ballroom or a country club, chances are the
dress code will be more conservative.
Embrace color. All black on a wedding guest is too severe. Jewel
tones like a peacock blue and emerald green and omber patterns
are sophisticated and vibrant. Stay away from white, not just at the
reception but at any wedding event, from the rehearsal dinner to the
day-after brunch. That’s the bride’s territory.
Stay focused. Choose one item to build your outfit around, whether it’
s your shoes or an amazing piece of jewelry. You want to avoid
looking as if you piled on every accessory you own. If you have a
complicated dress with a lot of ruching or a bold print, keep the
jewelry minimal. And those dyed-to-match shoes are a definite no-
no—not everything needs to coordinate exactly.
Don’t go flat. Heels are tricky at an outdoor wedding, but flats don’t
feel right with a formal dress. Wedges are great for lawn receptions.
If a wedding is on sand, I wear embellished sandals, though I often
take them off and go barefoot.
