If you are wearing a lighter-colored dress, ultra-sheer, skin-tone hosiery provides a polished finish without drawing attention to itself

Choose a solid pastel or a subtle floral print

The dramatic silhouette and statement back detail embody the confidence of French haute couture

Though this can mean positive things for local vendors and entertainers, the wedding industry also contributes to social and ecological hardships

Always appropriate: Black (never wrong for evening events) Navy (sophisticated and photographs well) Deep jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, ruby, amethyst) Rich earth tones (chocolate, burgundy, forest green) Metallics (gold, bronze, champagne, gunmetal) Proceed with caution: White, ivory, or cream (too close to bridal) Very bright or neon colors (feel too casual) Pastels in certain seasons (can look washed out in evening lighting) Color combinations that work: Monochromatic elegance in single rich hues Subtle color blocking in related tones Minimal pattern in sophisticated prints When selecting wedding guest dresses, choose colors that complement your skin tone and photograph well in both natural and artificial lighting
