What to wear in a wedding plus size?
The very first thing to consider is whether there's or not a dress code. If the spouses opted for a specific dress code, you must follow it. It might be a color palette choice or something about a particular type of clothing, such as a formal attire or more of a casual one. Or even a certain dress, like a floor-length evening gown or a sophisticated cocktail dress.
It also depends on the occasion, time at the ceremony and season. For an evening wedding, a long dress is pretty common, while for a wedding during the day, a knee-length or midi dress might work too.
The fabric is an important part too. Luxury ones like silk, satin and chiffon are go-to’s fabrics that add a perfect touch of elegance in every occasion. More informal or outdoor receptions don’t require much luxury materials. For these types of wedding, you can easily opt for comfortable fabrics such as cotton or linen, perfect for their breathability and lightweight.
If there’s no dress code, you can indulge in the colors and styles you most prefer and that highlight your silhouette and curves, allowing you to be comfortable all day long.
