And if you received a wedding invitation and this question has already arrived, in the post we have gathered tips for choosing the perfect option for the look, and inspirations for wedding looks for different styles of ceremony and party.
How to compose wedding looks? #tips
If you've come this far looking for a magic formula to put together a wedding look, we're sorry to inform you that there isn't a specific and certain rule, and not even a basic black dress can be the right choice, after all, to put together a wedding look you need to take some stitches in consideration.
And even though we don't have a magic formula, we have a simple recipe that takes some points into account and thus helps you make the right choice for each wedding style.
- Location: upon receiving the invitation, one of the first points to be taken into account is the location of the ceremony and party, which are very relevant to deciding the style of your outfit. For church weddings, it's ideal to consider an outfit that doesn't show the cleavage so much, so a scarf can be perfect to complete the look. Beach weddings call for more lightness.
- Time: another point that should be considered is the time of the wedding, as daytime weddings ask for very different looks from nighttime weddings; which shows that basic black is not always a joke, as it can be a heavy color for a wedding in the morning.
- Accessories: to compose wedding looks, it's not just the clothes that determine the look, but also the accessories that complement the look. In this case, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and even shoes can make or break the look. Therefore, think about the clothes and the elements that can complement the look in order to make the composition even better.
- Dress style: so that guests know which style of clothing is most suitable for the wedding, many grooms choose to include the style of dress in the invitation, such as full casual wear, sport chic, among others. So, just look for references of these styles and put together the look according to the bride and groom's indication.
- Hairstyle: to compose wedding looks, clothing is just one part of the look, and the hairstyle is an important complement to the look as a whole. In this way, choose the clothes and then the hairstyle, so you can find out if a pinned hairstyle is worth it to show the neckline on the back; or a loose hairstyle leaving the look more natural; that is, the hairstyle must be chosen thinking about matching and enhancing the outfit.
- Escape light clothes: unless it's a guideline from the bride and groom, white, beige and off-white clothes should be avoided; after all, it's not polite to steal the spotlight and be compared to the bride. So leave the lighter tones reserved for the bride only.

daytime wedding looks
For weddings during the day, the main rule for putting together the look is to leave aside the more closed and dark colors, like navy blue and black.
In this type of wedding, light colors and candy colors are good choices, as they lighten the look for the day.
When choosing looks for a daytime wedding, the guests can bet without fear on the midi dress models, which are not long and bring a lot of elegance.
The bridesmaids, on the other hand, can bet on long dresses, in light colors, with little or no embroidery, and even in lace, which are elegant and look beautiful during the day.
As an idea for a bridesmaid look for a daytime wedding, the idea here is a long dress perfect for the day.
The hydrangea blue dress brings a super trending color that matches daytime weddings.
The dress has a more rounded fit and the fabric with a delicate texture, reminiscent of lace, dispenses with embroidery and many accessories, making the look lighter.
Afternoon wedding outfits
A wedding in the afternoon or at sunset usually causes a lot of doubt about what to wear, after all, this type of wedding usually starts in the afternoon and extends into the night.
As the look will have to fit during the afternoon and into the evening, it is necessary to think of an intermediate look between the two times.
In this case, wedding looks can bring some accessories with more shine and a metallic effect, which are elegant at night, but it is still not a time that is suitable for very embroidered clothes or such dark colors.
The idea for putting together an accurate look for an afternoon wedding is this look proposal with a long, light pink dress.
The light fabric dress matches the wedding at sunset, and to adapt the look to the look that will last throughout the night, the bet was on a rosΓ© gold accessory, as is the case of the clutch, which brings a metallic effect to the look, but without weighing.
Evening wedding looks
Overnight weddings allow you to be more daring in your look, and even call for a little more sparkle.
Considering the night time, it is worth taking a chance on embroidered, metallic or shiny details, highlighting the look.
In addition, darker colors are also allowed for an accurate look, but the warning is for the bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom, who should avoid the color black.
The dress always ends up being the most used piece in wedding looks, but a piece that has been conquering its due space is the party jumpsuit, which can and should be used as a wedding look.
The inspiration here brings a perfect look for guests at a nocturnal wedding, and the proposal is a metallic jumpsuit in a silver tone with a more refined cut, such as a V-neckline and pantaloon pants, which make the piece elegant for the guests.
Beach wedding outfits
A style of ceremony that raises many questions about the look is the beach wedding, which is far from the most common styles of ceremonies.
In this case, beach weddings tend to follow a style that is more connected to nature and lighter, so the clothes should be made of lighter fabrics that match the beach environment.
The colors of beach wedding looks should also follow the light style with soft and more delicate colors.
In the composition of the look, the choice of accessories is essential to get it right, and in this case, sandals with thin heels can be the wrong choice, after all, sinking into the sand is neither comfortable nor elegant. Thus, shoes with thick heels or even flats are perfect choices.
Oh, and for guests who want to wear a short dress, the option is a good choice, but be careful with a short and very light dress, as the beach breeze can lift your clothes.
The idea for a perfect look for a beach wedding is this look that goes well with bridesmaids and guests.
For the look, the idea was for a long dress in turquoise, which blends beautifully with the color of the sea.
The light fabric model is very fluid and features details such as embroidery and braiding below the bust that enhance the piece.
To keep the combination appropriate, the idea was for a clutch in a more natural style with a shell design, perfectly matching the beach wedding.
Looks for civil wedding
A civil wedding tends to be a less formal ceremony and therefore the looks for a civil wedding for guests and bridesmaids may be less luxurious.
In this wedding style, it is worth keeping the elegance, but the long dress is dismissed and options such as midi dress, tube dress, overalls and even pantacourt allow you to create incredible looks.
Of course, accessories are also essential complements to civil wedding looks, so think about the whole look instead of just the outfit.
As proof that it is possible to get out of traditional dresses and still maintain the elegant look of civil wedding looks, the idea here brings a less common proposal with a set with pantacourt pants.
For the look, the idea was to wear a striped linen set with cropped and high-waisted pantacourt, which helps to lengthen the look even with the shortest pants.
To complete the look with elegance, the bet was on sandals with thin heels and straps, and a lighter look with loose hair and less pronounced waves.
simple wedding look
To choose looks for a simple wedding, the first decision is in relation to its role β for the bridesmaids, the long dress is still a good choice even in a simple wedding. Guests should avoid long dresses, and in this case, short and midi dress models, in addition to overalls, are the best choices.
With the simpler style, the outfit shouldn't be too elaborate either, and in these cases, the embroidered and very shiny details can easily be left out so they don't go too far beyond the wedding style.
The elegant look suggestion for simple wedding guests brings the idea of ββa lace midi dress.
The combination of lace and midi length is elegant and perfect for guests, who are not overdone, but also follow the more formal style that the wedding look calls for.
winter wedding outfits
And who never had to think about winter wedding looks?
If it is difficult to decide the look for weddings in warmer seasons, in winter the decision can be even more difficult.
To simplify the look, it is worth considering long-sleeved dresses with tights, and even overlays, such as fur stoles, which help cover the shoulders and adapt short-sleeved dresses for winter looks.
Another tip for putting together looks for a winter wedding is to opt for warmer fabrics, such as a velvet dress, which is super elegant and perfect for cold days.
If you had already programmed the look with a sleeveless dress and on the wedding day it got cold, the inspiration here brings an elegant and functional idea to face the cold.
In this case, the long pink dress was superimposed with a black fur stole, which was worn and fastened over the shoulders, covering this region and making the look warmer.
To maintain the elegance of the look, the idea was to combine the accessories, such as a clutch and sandals, with the black stole.
