For your own peace of mind and to be comfortable, it is important to get your dress code right for attending something as important as a wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, yet strangely enough, wedding invitations very rarely state the nature and style of the ceremony.
Some guidelines are:
- The time of day, morning or evening.
- The style and class of the invitations, elegant or casual presentation.
- The location, obviously you would not dress the same for a church or hotel as you would for a beach or garden ceremony.
