Wedding Attire - The Clues

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife.

Weddings are a time of celebration and great fun. They range from themed to beach and take place anytime from morning to evening. Knowing what to wear for this dynamic occasion can often be a challenge, but it is not a mystery without clues. Be a detective, and look at these key components.
1. The Invitation: The first clue as to the formality of the wedding, and therefore, the required attire can be found in the invitation: the more formal the invitation, the more formal the wedding.
2. The Time of Day: Generally evening weddings are more formal than daytime weddings and some are altogether black tie events.
3. The Venue: Either the wedding or reception can be a dead giveaway of the type of dress. A destination wedding on the beach will require a fun relaxed look while a large church wedding normally followed with a sit down served dinner will require fancier apparel.
4. The Bride: If all else fails, gather information from a member of the bridal party or family.

Let all thy joys be as the month of May,
And all thy days be as a marriage day.
