There is a unique style that can be followed for every other wedding you attend depending on the location, the time and the season. If the invitation is addressed formally, it implies that the guests are required to dress formally for the occasion. On the other hand, a casual invite suggests that the guests can dress casually for the wedding.

For selecting what to wear, the wedding location can be of great help. For a beach wedding or a wedding in a lawn, steer clear of high heels as they tend to sink in the sand and the grass respectively. For an outdoor wedding, very light dresses have to be shunned as they tend to get caught with the wind. A subtle dress can be worn for a wedding at a warm and humid location. However, if the wedding is to take place at a club or a five-star restaurant, you can prefer being wearing a tailored suit or any other dressy outfit.

# OUTFITS FOR THE SUNSHINE WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A nice fitted skirt with a sweater and sling back shoes.

2. A suit in a subtle color which is not too formal.

3. A dress with a nice floral pattern.

4. A striking hat which would go well with the outfit and would compliment it.

For the 40+ men:-

1. A linen or seersucker suit in a light color is the most apt outfit for a summer wedding.

2. For winter weddings, go for darker shades and warmer fabrics. Woolen suits, charcoal pants, ties and a sweater beneath the blazer are a nice option.

3. A blazer together with a dress shirt, pants and a tie is another elegant option.

4. If the wedding is before 6pm, a tuxedo can be adorned.

5. For a wedding which is formal, a dark colored suit is the best bet.

# OUTFITS FOR THE EVENING WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. Dressing for an evening wedding should be similar to the way we dress for a theatre or dinner.

2. An elegant and not so revealing cocktail number in black is an excellent option.

3. A dressy cocktail suit is also a safe bet.

4. Sequins and beads are to be avoided if the wedding is a formal one.

5. Darker colors would help present your self in a more sophisticated way.

For the 40+ men:-

1. For a semi-formal or casual wedding, slacks coupled with blazer and a matching tie can be sported.

2. Suits in dark colors are always accepted and most preferred.

# FOR THE FORMAL WEDDING:-

For the 40+ women:-

1. A gorgeous cocktail dress touching the floor.

For the 40+ men:-

1. The dress should be really formal.

2. Tuxedo is the best option for such an occasion.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR!

- Anything too revealing and ****.

- A dark colored outfit for a morning wedding.

- White should be dissuaded. Especially, a white colored outfit without any prints. This is because; it would steal the limelight away from the bride.

- Jeans

- Tattered and tainted dress must not be worn.

- Too small or too big dresses are also out of question.

- If the wedding is a religious one, sleeveless and strapless dresses are to be avoided. Bare shoulders have to be covered.

SUITABLE ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING GUESTS:-

-Punctuality is vital. It is necessary to be present in the venue of the wedding at least fifteen minutes before the start of the ceremonies so that there is enough time to find a seat and settle down.

- Purity of the wedding has to be preserved. Guests should avoid clicking pictures. They should rather let the photographers do their task properly.

- Gifts need not be brought to the venue of the wedding. They can rather be delivered to the house of the couple anytime within one year from the date of wedding.

- In case of failure to make it to the wedding, the gift becomes an essential.

- Bringing uninvited guest is considered discourteous. Bringing is permitted only if it has been mentioned in the invite.

- Getting drunk at a wedding reception is disrespectful and offensive.

- Unwanted mingling with people you hardly know should also be avoided.

Tis the Season to celebrate! And this means office parties, family get togethers, cocktail parties and formal affairs. This also means you need a new dress!

Like every woman, I love a reason to buy a pretty new dress. Let’s face it, it’s fun to put on a new dress that is **** and flattering. Who doesn’t like to receive admiring glances and warm compliments. But if you are a full figured woman, finding the right dress can be a chore.

Local department stores really don’t carry much of a selection for the more voluptuous woman. And sometimes the style are really not all that flattering. Luckily, it has become much easier to shop for plus size clothing online at the specialty boutiques that know what the curvy woman is looking for.

The key to looking great is in the fit of the dress. Obviously a dress that is too tight will only enhance any extra bumps or bulges that can be very unflattering. You also don’t want a dress that is so big. The perfect dress will gently hug your curves and flatter your assets. The best silhouette for a full figured woman is the A- Line style. A-line style lengthens the whole body without drawing attention to your waistline. The empire waist is another good choice. The empire is narrowest just below the bust and conceals your waist and hips. Also, deep V necks and scoop necks flatter curvy figures and always look best on full figured women.

Shopping online is fun, easy and very practical. You can browse for exactly what you want, get the best prices and your new dress will be delivered right to your door! For me it is the only way to shop. And don’t forget the accessories. A pretty pair of shoes will complete the outfit.

What to Wear to Your Rehearsal Dinner

A rehearsal dinner is a great chance for the couple to thank their families, friends and the bridal party before the wedding. The rehearsal dinner is traditionally held the evening before the wedding, right after the wedding rehearsal. Though it can take place anytime prior to the wedding date.

The rehearsal dinner is normally paid for by the groom’s parents. However, the bride and groom can also choose to pay for the dinner as part of their thanks to their friends and relatives.

Who’s Invited

The immediate families, plus the bridal party are invited to the rehearsal dinner. Also any out-of-town wedding guests should be included. The dinner is normally held at a semi-formal or casual restaurant. During the rehearsal dinner, the bride and groom toast their family and the bridal party. This is also the time that the couple can give gifts to their bridesmaids and groomsmen.

What to Wear

Obviously, the attire will depend quite a bit on the venue and style of the dinner. Rehearsal dinners can be held at casual establishments, but more often than not, they take place in a semi-formal environment.

A traditional suit, a sports coat and slacks, or even a pair of khaki pants and a nice sweater are all appropriate for the groom.

The bride can choose from many options.

The Pantsuit - A classic pantsuit is always a good fashion choice for the rehearsal dinner. Choose dark colors for a more formal event or fun, bright colors for a casual venue. Warm weather fabrics, include silk, linen and light knits. For colder weather, select a pantsuit in velvet, wool or jersey knit. Add a pair of feminine, heeled shoes or boots. Mary Jane pumps, velvet mules or leather boots all will work well.

The Little Black Dress - Always a big hit, the little black dress is very appropriate for a rehearsal dinner. If you husband-to-be is wearing a dark suit, dress accordingly by choosing a dressy style where the skirt falls at or just below the knee. A little black cocktail dress is a also a good choice. Sleeveless, halter style or capped sleeve styles are perfect. For a cocktail dress, short skirts are fine as long as they are not too short. Anything more than two inches above the knee is probably not a good idea. Add a pair of strappy sandals, peep-toe pumps or patent leather slingbacks.

The Sweater Dress - For a winter wedding, the sweater dress is the perfect option for your rehearsal dinner. A style that is skims the body but is not too clingy is perfect. You can choose from cowl neck, turtle neck or v-neck varieties. As with the cocktail dress, anything too short is not appropriate. Choose any colors you like, including solids, stripes and prints. For a more casual affair, wear your sweater dress with a pair of knee high leather boots. For something more formal, choose a pair of dress pumps or sandals.

I am attending a formal dance in mid-January and was looking for suggestions on what to wear. I am not sure if I should wear a ball gown or more of a cocktail dress. Also not sure if I should go with classic black or look for a splash of color. Are there any accessories that are really hot right now? What about shoes? I do not want to wear open toes because it is cold. Do I need to wear hose and what color would you recommend? Where would you recommend that I go shopping.

Ideally I am hoping to stand out but not look ******. I appreciate your advice?

MILAN, Italy - There are few better weather vanes for changing times than the fashion industry, whose sensitive antennas quickly pick up on a mood and design accordingly.

http://www.himfr.com/buy-Designers_Sunglass/”>Designers SunglassJust think of the *** Nineties, the somber 1940s the happy day 1950s. A similar reflection is happening for the summer of 2009, with designers opting for relaxed styles in stressed times.

Monday, the first full day of Milan Fashion Week’s preview showings for the spring-summer 2009, top designers including Giorgio Armani, Missoni and Burberry preferred laid back to outlandish, with the accent on elegant but easy clothes.

The summer palette also reflects the chill-out mood also seen on runways in New York, with muted shades ranging from sandy beiges and pinks, to earthy greens and browns.

The Milan womenswear fashion week, a semiannual event of the best in Italian ready-to-wear, ends Friday and includes among its packed calendar of over 100 designers such top names as Prada, Gucci, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. The fashion crowd then moves on to Paris.

Giorgio Armani described his collection as “a joy to wear.” From the latest Armani jacket, lined in chiffon and long enough to gently brush against the hips, to the featherweight cocktail dresses and soft, sequined eveningwear, the collection was all about airy elegance.

As the models stepped lightly down the runway in delicate high-heeled sandals or soft slippers they gave the impression of effortlessness. Nymph-like hairstyles and romantic beaded jewelry completed the dreamy look.

Armani opened his new flagship boutique on Milan’s tony via Montenapoleone with a cocktail party attended by Cate Blanchett, who also took a front-row seat at the show.

Angela Missoni, who received the knitting needle from her parents Tai and Rosita, has slowly been steering the company away from pure knitwear in incredible patterns to an all-around fashion label. Next summer is no exception.

Reflecting the current mood for easy styles, Missoni opts for sporty elegance, with long skirts, loose pants and short shirt dresses the favorite looks. Tops are often knitted in the latest Missoni patterns, including an intricate basket weave. Angela prefers her eveningwear elegantly strapless, but keeps it sporty by replacing sequins with studs. Her summer palette is earthy, with a preference for leaf green and wheat yellow.

Focal point of the collection is the waistline, high or low, but almost always cinched by a sturdy leather belt.

It may be many a season that Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s hip designer, has shown on the Milan runway, but he is still steeped in the culture and traditions of the British Isles, which means another round of trench coats for next year’s rainy season.

Coincidentally his water wear, which comes not only in proper cotton, but also in wrinkled or embroidered silk depending on the time of day, fits nicely into this round’s easy-dressing theme. The coats are paired with simple shirts and skirts.

The venue for the show, a 16th-century downtown Milan palazzo, was misleading. As models came down the runway sporting floppy hats, wooden jewelry and high-heeled sandals worn with cotton ankle socks, you knew this show had little to do with the town, but was all about the country.
