What to Wear to a Wedding 2021

After having to be placed on hold for quite some time, Bride & Groom’s dreams of hosting their wedding reception celebrations can once again become a reality. Many smaller yet exclusive wedding soirees are on the calendar for 2021. What to wear to a wedding in 2021? To start, invitations always set the tone of the party. Invites will give you a sense of the dress code. However, if you are still in doubt, read further on to see what to wear to a wedding 2021.  

As many of you know, my son had plans to marry at a lavish hotel in Chicago in April 2020. Originally, the guest list included over 200 people. After having to reschedule twice because of Covid, they were given the go ahead to host a reception with a 60-person limit in May of 2021. The number was to include their large bridal party, immediate family, and a few of the Bride & Grooms friends. Even though their guest count had changed, the theme and dress code remained the same, black tie optional.

Smaller wedding receptions allow bigger budgets for creativity. Do not assume smaller means less extravagant. More intimate receptions will allow couples to break away from traditional wedding receptions of the past. They will work to enhance guests’ experience, while having fun with creative decor and unique entertainment.

What to Wear to a Wedding 2021

Semi Formal/Black Tie Optional

Fewer persons does NOT mean more casual. I would select a long, floor length, sophisticated evening dress. A stylish jumpsuit in slinky fabric with dramatic earrings. Just remember to think elegant and classic.

Informal Venue during the daytime

While attending a daytime wedding, it may very well be outdoors. This will allow a little more flexibility. Choose a tea length dress with floral prints.  Never wear too many sequins during a daytime wedding. All black is appropriate if it is not too revealing.

Beach Wedding

Think about choosing comfort, especially if the weather will be warm. Bright colors, and floral prints are good choices for outdoor settings. One shoulder dresses and airy flowy looks will keep you cool and comfortable. Keep in mind that tropical beach weddings do not necessarily mean casual. Do your homework to make sure you do not show up underdressed.

Semi Casual

Pick tasteful yet comfortable dresses or dressy skirts with tops, either knee length or mid length. Sundresses are perfect if the event is outdoors. Look to add playful eye-catching accessories. Semi casual gives you flexibility, but avoid anything too casual.

Post pandemic weddings may be downsized, but they certainly will not compromise on incredible detail and ambiance.
