What to Wear to a Wedding? Start With a Smile!

A wedding celebration is a very happy event to attend, but we often hear discussions on what to wear at weddings? Even though we are in the entertainment business, we actually get asked that question! We are the DJ's and Lighting Specialist and not the wardrobe adviser! But we still get asked.

We can however give you some guidance. After all we attend more weddings than almost anyone and we observe what works and what doesn't. The most common attribute of a successful ensemble is? A smile!

That being said, what should you wear at weddings? Here are some tips:

1. First, you need to ask some pertinent questions. What time of day is the wedding? Are you going to the reception? Is it an indoor wedding or an outdoor event? Several things enter into the decision.
2. Women attending a wedding should of course avoid white clothing. That color is usually reserved for the bride. If you’re at a day wedding, try some light neutral colors like pastel blue, yellow, pink or sand and champagne. Night time weddings lend themselves more to darker colors like reds, oranges, dark greens etc.
3. If you wear a dress to the wedding then it’s better to choose something fairly plain as you don’t want to upstage the bride.
4. Most women will decide to wear a dress simply because it usually is more feminine than a pantsuit, but you can still look feminine in a pantsuit with a pretty, ruffled blouse and short jacket.
5. If you are not attending the reception, you can wear something that has less of a party feel.
6. For daytime wedding, especially if held outside, you could consider wearing a cocktail dress. These tend to be more casual and they usually will feature a short skirt vs. the formal look.
7. A formal wedding will mean that you need to wear an evening gown with a long skirt.  (You can pretend you’re on the red carpet!)
8. Should couples wear outfits that match? Ugh! That seems so old fashioned! Just look your best as a couple. Again, it is the couple getting married that should be noticed.

Earlier we said that a smile is essential! The main thing is to enjoy the wedding, so comfort should be the first priority. You are not really the one that should be "showing off', that is the bride's job.

Just like choosing the right dress or suit can go on forever, so could our what to wear at weddings list. We really would like to hear from you! What did you wear to the last wedding you attended?

5 Steps to a Memorable Wedding

Your wedding is a very special day. If done right, your friends and family will remember this day for years and if you follow your heart, so will you!

Here are five things to remember:

1. It's never too early to plan. After you and your fiance finalize that big decision, look around you for volunteers or professionals who are willing to help. You will discover that you start to delegating task to others. By doing so you will find that the “big day” will go much more smoothly. The more you can delegate to others, the more the wedding will be truly your day!
2. Keep the wedding within your budget. Don't regret the things you just couldn't afford. It is always better to be happy with what you can comfortably afford so that you leave enough funds for your future plans. However, do recognize that this is a special day, so make that call to a trusted adviser and select the professionals that will indeed make your wedding day special. By selecting a professionals who are experienced in weddings, the day will go much smoother.
3. Don’t sweat the small stuff – it’s not what you or your quest will remember in ten years. As you make your plans, accept the fact that there will be unknowns and things will occur that you can't predict. Take a deep breath and roll with what is achievable.
4. Be yourself and quit trying to please everyone. One of the biggest mistakes we see is couples trying to please everyone involved. It just won't happen. As you pick the venue, music, food and guest, you as a couple should have the final say on all the major decisions.
5. Remember the end goal – your marriage. Let's be happy! Smile, smile and smile some more. This will be the greatest day of your life!
