Churches, temples, and religious spaces - If you’re attending a wedding in a church, temple, or other religious space, it’s important to dress respectfully. That usually means avoiding miniskirts and keeping your midriff and cleavage covered. Depending on the religion and location, women may need to cover their knees and shoulders as well, which means no sleeveless tops or dresses. Church weddings also tend to be on the formal side, so dresses or skirts for women and nice slacks or a suit for men are best. But if there’s a reception or party somewhere else after the ceremony, wear an outfit that can transition easily.
Beach weddings - Beach weddings are nearly the opposite of church weddings in terms of what to wear (and many other aspects!). Most beach weddings are very casual, so don’t overdress. Since it’ll probably be warm, choose lightweight, breathable fabrics, and avoid anything synthetic. A sundress or maxi dress is probably the best choice for women. You’ll be on the sand, so plan your wedding footwear accordingly; flat sandals will be the most convenient. And don’t forget sunscreen and a hat or sun umbrella.
Bars - If you’re traveling for a wedding, chances are you’ll be hitting the bars at least once. Regardless of what you wear for the ceremony, make sure to bring some clothes for going out. A cross-body bag is also a good idea at bars, so you can easily keep it on you at all times. You’ll probably want to stock it with your make-up and cotton swabs for touch-ups after a long day.
