- Subtlety is best. Opt for simple, pretty or romantic looks rather than edgy or sultry ensembles.
- Simple beauty. Keep hair and makeup natural and pretty.
- The White Rule. This age old tenet says to avoid wearing all white (including ivory), as it should be reserved for the bride. The bottom line here: it’s impolite to upstage the bride so let her be the only one wearing white. Luckily this rule has relaxed a bit. Cream colored clothing and print dresses with white backdrops are usually fine.
- Black. Try not to wear black to early morning/afternoon nuptials.
- Absolutely, positively NO jeans and sexy or revealing clothing. No exceptions.
I have been looking for a dress to wear to a friends wedding next month, it is in Queensland so lucky all of the summer dresses are coming out. You can't go wrong with a Alanah Hill, BGBG or a Karen Millen Dress.

Have you seen Kim Kardashians wedding dress? Not sure about all of the wedding party and guests wearing white (PS: Kris Humphries wore an Ermenegildo Zegna Suit, The same Brand My Mr wore on our wedding day).
Here is Mr Swain and I on our big Day.
One of the positives with purchasing his suit for our wedding is he gets to wear it to work!
