Found a great article on The Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/) by lifestyle editor Ysolt Usigan: ”What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding”. We get this question all the time as the wording on invitations can be either really general “after 5 attire appropriate” or very creative, “fun and festive “?!!
So what’s a girl to do? Here’s a couple of rules:
1. Black Tie Wedding = Guests should wear formal attire. Men in tuxedos and women in floor-length gowns.
2. Can I go short?: Yes! BUT ( and it’s what comes after the “but” that’s most important) IT MUST BE FANCY!!! I cannot stress that enough. Your little black dress just won’t cut it. It has to have some BLING! “You can get away with wearing a short, yet very fancy dress,” she explains. “A short dress covered in beads, crystals or bling-y design could fall into the black-tie area.” Just be sure to avoid dresses that look like cocktail dresses or sundresses.
