Apparently, some people think it's ok to just look pretty and get going and sometimes some people just get so distracted and caught up in the excitement of going to flaunt their sexy selves to the available eligible bachelors at Lagos weddings. Thereby forgetting that there are several unwritten rules for wedding guests. Apart from the basic character and etiquette expected of you at a public function e.g arriving on time, making sure you bring your invitation, eating appropriately, not looking for take away food or drinks e.t.c guests are also expected to dress a certain way. Here are some tips I'd really like you ladies to hold on dearly to when going for a wedding
1. Don't wear anything that's too revealing. Remember that it's not a club party and although the couple and their friends are young happening people, their parents, aunties, uncles, bosses and older relatives would be present. Anything too tight would look trashy. You can wear a nice strapless dress but make sure the length is appropriate. When showing legs remember to cover up your chest and if you feel like a little cleavage wouldn't hurt then make sure your dress sits comfortably on your knees or just a little above. Always remember to do things in moderation. Nobody likes the uncomfortable stares of judging eyes.
2. Never wear white. You don't want to compete with the bride on the happiest day of her life. It's not a "who wore it better" competition, it's her special day so let all the attention be on her.
3. I wouldn't wear black to a wedding either, this is because black is a gloomy sad colour and a wedding is a happy occasion. If you absolutely must wear a black dress, make sure you brighten it up with a little colour in your accessories and shoes. All black from head to toe is a big no-no for such a joyful occasion.
4. Some of you ladies plan to dance the day away, especially when the couple is a relative or a very close friend and so you make up your mind to wear flat sandals or flat plain pumps which are not formal enough for weddings. Add class to your dressing by wearing heels and if you are not a high heel wearing person then try wearing sparkly embellished flat pumps or sandals instead of bland plain ones.
