Plus-Size Wedding-Guest Dresses: What Color Can I Wear to a Wedding?

Shopping for a wedding guest dress can be a lot of fun, and it’s a great opportunity to wear your favorite color or a unique print. You can wear just about any color you want to a wedding (except white). Some guests like to steer clear of the wedding party's colors to avoid stealing any attention from the bridal party. When deciding on what color to wear to a wedding, check your invite for dress code specifics first. If you're still unsure, ask the bride or her family if there are any dress color preferences for the wedding guests. Wondering about a specific color? Here are the answers to some common questions about appropriate colors for wedding guests.

Can I Wear White to a Wedding?

Sure, if you're the bride! As a guest, do not wear white to a wedding. You want to stay clear of all shades of white and ivory. The only time you should wear white to a wedding is if the bride has requested it, per the invitation, for a specific wedding theme.

Can I Wear Black to a Wedding?

Yes, you can wear black to a wedding! While wearing black to a wedding was once considered taboo, that is thankfully no longer the case. Black is now a standard go-to color for wedding-guest dresses. They are universally flattering and a classic elegant choice. Whether you are wearing a long black evening gown for a formal wedding or a short black dress for a more semi-formal affair, you can confidently choose black for your wedding-guest dress color.

Can I Wear Red to a Wedding?

It is totally acceptable to wear red to most weddings. However, if you are attending a red-themed wedding, a Chinese wedding, or an Indian wedding, then you’ll want to leave the red dresses to the bride and her bridal party. For other types of weddings, feel free to go for a bold, light, or dark red wedding-guest dress depending on what looks best on you.

Can I Wear a Flower Print to a Wedding?

You can absolutely wear flower prints to a wedding. Floral prints are ideal for weddings in any season. Choose wedding-guest dresses with pastel flower prints for spring and summer weddings. Pick flower print dresses in warm colors for the fall and winter months. When selecting a floral-print wedding-guest dress with a white background, make sure the print colors are dominant over the white in the dress, since white is typically reserved for the bride.
