We’re not talking about the bride, but the people who go to see the bride! Hannah wants to know…

I’m a young teenager with two weddings to attend this year! I’m having trouble finding affordable, adorable dresses suitable for weddings. I was thinking of those baby blue/light pink bubble dresses Rory Gilmore from “Gilmore Girls” always wears!

Hey Hannah!

Affordable dresses are everywhere, especially cute cocktail dresses! I think those are perfect for modern informal weddings in Malaysia (Of course, there are weddings where it is traditional, and we have to wear Baju Kurungs or Sarees, etc). Also, please notice what it says on the card, you wouldn’t want to wear an informal cocktail dress when it clearly stated formal dressing.

I’m pretty sure, by browsing around the shops at mofsd, there are some pretty cocktail dresses! I guess loud colours and glitters are okay for a wedding if it is at night, but for a day time wedding, go with the bright florals and patterns.

Here’s a guide on how to decide what to wear for weddings!

Looking your Best by xuezhen

Excerpt:

What is your relationship to the person who invited you?
Generally, this comes in three categories: family member or close friend, acquaintance, and working colleague. If it is the wedding of someone from the first category, going all out would be nothing short of fine. After all, your best friend or favorite cousin would want to see you in your best attire on her special day. For people whom you are merely acquainted with and are not very close to, such as a distant relative or a friend of a friend, it would not be such a good idea to be dressed to the nines, because it may appear to some that you are trying to outshine the couple or their family. If you attend the wedding of a colleague, consider not only your rapport with the person, but also the image you want to portray at work. The independent career woman with pitch perfect presentations would raise eyebrows if she appeared in a dress which barely covers her behind. [Read More here]
