For formal evening weddings, choose a long A-line gown in satin, chiffon, lace, or beaded fabric
Design and/or color changes, if you want them
Always appropriate: Black (never wrong for evening events) Navy (sophisticated and photographs well) Deep jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, ruby, amethyst) Rich earth tones (chocolate, burgundy, forest green) Metallics (gold, bronze, champagne, gunmetal) Proceed with caution: White, ivory, or cream (too close to bridal) Very bright or neon colors (feel too casual) Pastels in certain seasons (can look washed out in evening lighting) Color combinations that work: Monochromatic elegance in single rich hues Subtle color blocking in related tones Minimal pattern in sophisticated prints When selecting wedding guest dresses, choose colors that complement your skin tone and photograph well in both natural and artificial lighting
