And GORGEOUS pant options too!
Galas or black-tie weddings and events are my favorite occasions to shop for. And, also the most difficult. Why? It seems like SUCH a commitment to buy a gown or formal attire. You know it’s going to be hanging in your closet for a decade and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll only wear it once. First, you really have to consider the type of event. Guests are expected to wear floor-length gowns at a more traditional, black-tie wedding. But there are other acceptable options for contemporary, black-tie nuptials. There are lots of possibilities to consider like sequins, cutouts, plunging necklines, dramatic sleeves…how do you choose? And you don’t want to look like the mother of the bride or a bridesmaid! Is it OK to wear pants or a mini or midi dress? There are more options than you might think!

Black-Tie Wedding Attire
I purchased this dress while in Spain primary because it made me happy. The blush pink and feminine tulle layers…I loved all of it. I wore it out for a special night at the opera with my daughter, Elizabeth. Unfortunately, I can’t link the exact dress, but I did link some similar options above. Hands down when I wore this dress, I felt special. When choosing a dress for any special event, that’s truly the biggest hurdle. How does it make you feel? Does it fit and flatter your body? Do you exude confidence when you walk into a room? Keep scrolling for some gorgeous special event and black-tie wedding guest dresses (and pantsuits) that have just the right wow factor!
Don’t forget you can always rent a dress for a wedding or special event. Rent The Runway has some amazing options.
For a formal affair, are you more likely to wear black or do you gravitate toward color? I’m more the latter, but I do love both.
