What should I wear for a wedding abroad?

Have you been invited to a wedding abroad and are now wondering… “what should I wear for a wedding abroad”? Let’s make your decision easier. There are many different styles, colours, and dresses to choose from it may seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. If you follow these simple steps you are well underway for a relaxing stressfree destination wedding adventure.

Keep it simple!

If the invitation has not specifically mentioned a dress code or the bride and groom have not given you any indication of what they expect then “keep it simple” is our motto. That is not to say you should show up wearing tattered shorts and a tank top, or conversely, an elegant gown would surely be over the top for a beach wedding. Take into account the location and how formal the wedding is.

Think about the elements

After all, you will be in a warm tropical environment. Light a breezy is your best choice for a beach wedding abroad. And remember to keep yourself protected. Sunblock is a must as you might be as there will likely be little shade, especially if it is a beachside event. Of course, if the ceremony is in the evening or indoors in air-conditioning, you may want to bring a like jacket or pashmina to ward off the chill.

It’s about the wedding couple

You never want to outdo the bridal couple, so nothing over-the-top when it comes to your attire. A simple cotton shirt and jacket for the men and either a dress or cotton blouse with a flowy skirt for the ladies.
