'Be my guest!'

June is coming and together with the rains come the wedding invitations. What is a female guest to wear? One very popular trend in fashion is one-shoulder designs or asymmetric cuts that are both elegant and flattering to most figures. Another trend is pleated details in skirts, dresses and tops. 

When attending such events, be sure to know the customs and traditions of the wedding party. Example, Filipinos find it acceptable for their guests to wear black, while in traditional Chinese weddings, this hue is frowned upon.

When the bride walks down the aisle, it’s important that you are sartorially ready as a wedding guest.
