What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding



07/18/2018

Dressing up for weddings can be fun, but intimidating. The invitation arrives at your door and surprise, it’s a black tie wedding… How fancy is too fancy? Do you wear a long dress or a short dress? Lucky for you, it’s ok to wear either! “Experts” say a long formal gown or an elegant cocktail dress is black tie appropriate. What we all know, however, is white is never the option.

Take this sparkly number from ASOS. I don’t necessarily love a maxi dress and I’m also too tall for most mini dresses – insert my absolute favorite, the midi dress. Your perfect blend between the two! I love how playful this dress is. Sometimes people instantly go for a plain choice, but this proves how your attire can be sparkly and tasteful. As wedding season is in full swing, I decided to give you all a helping hand and round up some beautiful, yet chic black tie appropriate dresses!
