We all like weddings. They are days that create great
memories and fantastic photos. Most people love the opportunity to dress up.
Going out shopping for a wedding outfit is always fun
and interesting. Often you end up trying on clothes you would not otherwise
consider buying. As a result, you usually gain some extra insight into
what clothes look great on you. It is a chance to experiment and shake things
up a bit. A wedding forces you not to be lazy and just carry on buying the same
style of clothes you always do.

Buy
wisely
Naturally, you want to look your best, which means
buying good quality clothes, which are expensive. If you are invited to several
weddings in one year, being able to afford a complete new outfit for each of
them can be impossible.
Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to get around
this problem. If you follow my tips, you can buy a good outfit that you can
adapt and update throughout the year. That way you get a new look for each
wedding without having to pay for a complete outfit each time.
Buy
for both weddings in one shopping trip
If you know for sure that you are going to be
attending more than one wedding before you go out you have the chance to shop
for both outfits together. With shops changing their range on six or 8-week
cycles this is the wisest approach.
If you do not do this, you run the risk that styles
will change drastically between shopping trips. Should that happen, it will
become more difficult to buy accessories that fit together nicely with the
outfit you have bought.
Accessories
are the key
How you accessorise the outfit has a big impact on the
overall look. Bear this in mind when choosing what you buy. You are looking for
a dress, or maybe a suit, in a colour and fabric that is easy to match with
different colour and styles of shoes, belts, scarves, handbags and hats.
Go
classic
Choosing a classic cut improves your chances of being
able to find the accessories you need. If you choose a radical look, your
chances of being able to do this are reduced.
Think
about the type of weddings you will be attending
Just as important is thinking about the kinds of
weddings you will be attending during the year. A formal suit, in a luxurious
fabric, may be perfect for a classy city wedding. Whereas, for a countryside wedding venue such as Heaton House Farm it won’t work so well.
Consider
the weather
Another consideration is the weather. If you are
attending a summer wedding, the chances are you will be fine in just a dress.
But, if you want to wear that same dress to an autumn or winter wedding you
will need a jacket or shawl. That is a good thing because you can choose one in
a different fabric, which will make it far easier for you to give your outfit a
fresh look.
