Casual Wedding Attire for Guests, Explained
Casual wedding attire might be one of the most debated dress codes printed on a wedding invitation. After all, the words casual and wedding could feel like a bit of an oxymoron—even at the most laid-back affair, there should still be a certain level of elevation to a guest's ensemble out of respect for the gravity of this major life event. When choosing to plan a casual or dressy casual wedding, a couple is asking for their guests to take a more relaxed approach to their style, yet likely would prefer you wear a step up (or two) from flip-flops and jean shorts. Ahead, we break down everything to know about what to wear to a casual wedding as a guest. Photo: Gioconda and August What Does Casual Wedding Attire Actually Mean If a wedding invitation arrives and dictates you should arrive in 'casual attire,' there's no need to pull a gown out of your closet. 'Casual wedding attire, or 'come as you are,' is the host's permission to skip formalities—but it's not an invitation to arrive unpolished,' advises creative director and stylist Carrie L. Goldberg. 'Casual events are intended to make guests feel at ease, and relieve the pressure of dressing up for a low-key welcome party, backyard ceremony, or recovery brunch.' She adds, 'When thinking about dressing for a casual wedding, consider this a step down (or two) from cocktail attire. Heels and ties are not required.' Dos and Don'ts of Dressing for a Casual Wedding A casual wedding dress code is definitely not as rigid as black tie—yet you still should understand the nuance that comes with these more relaxed guidelines. 'While the attire may read casual, be mindful to dress in a way that respects the celebration you're attending,' says Goldberg. 'Your favorite athleisure for running errands isn't what the couple intends for you to arrive in; instead, think of the type of look you'd wear to a nice dinner party or weekend lunch with friends.' If a casual wedding event is in your future, it's best to generally steer clear of flip-flops, graphic tees, and blue denim (unless it fits the venue). A good rule of thumb? 'Skip anything too rumpled or sporty and focus on ease and effortlessness,' says the stylist. 'The idea of a casual wedding is to allow guests to shop their closets rather than feeling the pressure to buy something new for the occasion (unless, of course, they'd like to!).'

‘Far too casual for a wedding' people say as guest proudly shows off her ‘picnic' dress with flip-flops
A FASHIONISTA has come under fire after showing off her wedding guest outfit trolls insist is ''too casual''. Wedding season has well and truly arrived, which means many people have been taking to social media to share their stylish frocks and gowns. 2 Amongst them is also TikToker Rosie Ridgers who recently attended '' a casual wedding '' and was dressed fit for the occasion. The brunette beauty, who now lives in Barcelona, Spain, was deciding between four different picks - an adorable Gingham maxi dress, a flattering dress in pastel yellow, a gorgeous satin pink skirt teamed with a light yellow waistcoat, as well as as maxi lace number in pink and yellow. However, despite being told by social media critics that the red and white Gingham dress was ''too casual'', it was this option Rosie went with. In the follow-up clip before the romantic ceremony, the style lover modelled the cute sleeveless dress that she had paired with a white pearl necklace, a chic updo, as well as some golden jewellery. Yet it was the choice of footwear that seemed to cause the most uproar in the comments - as Rosie decided to do rock comfy black flip-flops. All chuffed with the final look, she wrote: ''The wedding guest dress that you all called 'too casual'. ''Do you still agree?'' 'Flip flops for wedding is wild' But while Rosie looked stunning - and was comfortable - keyboard warriors weren't sure if the final outfit was fit for a wedding. The clip, posted under the username @ rosieridgers, has since racked up more than 173k views in less than 24 hours, with over 90 people flooding to comments. One person thought: ''it's super cute but 1000% too casual. this is like a brunch or picnic or just summer weekend look.'' Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Meanwhile, someone else said that Rosie's decision to sport flip-flops at a wedding was ''wild''. Another agreed, writing: ''Maybe just add a strappy heel (even a low one)... The flip flops are defo too casual (certainly for a day 1).'' A fourth chimed in sharing how they'd make the cute ensemble more ''wedding-appropriate'' in their eyes. ''Sweet kitten heel would have made this wedding appropriate. Flip flops would not be my choice.'' ''cute but casual, makes me think of those gingham dresses used to wear to primary school,'' commented a viewer. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. 'It was such a casual wedding' After being slammed in the comments, Rosie hit back at the critics, ordering them to ''relax''. ''Guys, this is a bit of a wind up, it was such a casual wedding! And I knew that going into it, they wanted everyone to be extra comfortable & happy during the evening! ''It was such a special way to organise it and I knew some of you would debate it in the comments BUT some of you are taking it too far.
