Wedding Guest Attire & Clothing

There is an etiquette as to what's appropriate for guests to wear to a wedding.

However, within that, it's possible to find something that you both feel comfortable wearing and look fabulous in. 

For younger girls, there are some pretty junior formal dresses you can dress down to wear again for parties and family celebrations. 

For new moms, don't worry too much about finding the right wedding clothes for young children and infants , just find something smart, clean and tidy, making sure that you have a bib and also a change of clothing in case they spill food.  Do be aware of your child making noise, particularly during the ceremony, as this can be most distracting.  Try and sit at the back of the church so that if you do need to leave, you can do so quickly and quietly.
