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.

WHEN YOU START LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT DRESSES FOR YOUR PLUS SIZE WEDDING GUEST OUTFITS, DON’T FORGET TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION YOUR BODY SHAPE, PERSONAL STYLE, AND THE WEDDING’S THEME, IF THERE’S ONE.

PERFECT DRESSES FOR PLUS SIZE WEDDING GUEST OUTFITS

When you’re searching for wide shoes for women, you must take into consideration several factors to ensure a comfortable fit and satisfactory experience. Discover are some key considerations from Marina Rinaldi to be prepared for your next shopping spree.

 A-line dresses are known to be almost universally flattering, as they cinch at the waist and flow outward, complementing most body shapes. Our Crepe envers satin dress from the Elegante collection, comes with a V- neckline, halterneck style shoulders, in seam side pockets and a concealed zip fastening at the back. The garment comes with short flared sleeves that can be attached by a tailor. A full volume, elegant dress that will not go unnoticed. Details like lace or embellishments are perfect to add a special touch that you might be looking for. Our Sequinned tulle dress from the Elegante collection stands out for a special floral embroidery

finished with sequins. It enriches the dress, making it more romantic and chic for a special evening. A valid alternative is our majestic Long embroidered cady dress from the Elegante collection. The dress is in a comfortable cady with an exquisite and luxurious hand-embroidered application of golden baguettes and crystal bezels. Fitted with vertical seams front and back that enhance the silhouette, it has a V neckline at the back and wide sleeves inspired by Japanese kimonos with shoulder straps for extra support. Its unusual, sensual and dramatic design is perfect for showing off on a special occasion.

ELEGANT TAILLEUR FOR PLUS SIZE WEDDING GUEST OUTFITS

For those who don’t want to wear a dress and feel more themselves in other clothing, an elegant and modern tailleur or suit can be a fantastic option. 

When choosing a blazer, go for a tailored fit that is well-fitted but not too tight and remember that a single-button blazer can create a slimming effect. Our Triacetate cady blazer in pink might be a valid option for a wedding during the day and the paired matching Trousers are essential for a monochromatic look and a sleek and elegant appearance. It also features a single-breasted jewel-button closure and structured shoulders.

For a more particular outfit, take a look at our Triacetate blazer jacket and Wide trousers. The blazer features contrasting details along the fastening and yoke, for an eye-catching look that won’t make you go unnoticed. Long sleeves, welt pockets and a lined interior are essential for a comfy outfit, in addition to a front aligning fastening comprising a matching enameled metal hook and eye fastening. The semi-fitted model boasts front and back fit defining side dart detail.

Another blazer that makes you think of summer and spring is the Macramé jacket, which is different from the usual blazer jacket, but has that special and different touch that maybe it's just right for you.

What are the best wedding accessories?

The accessories you choose for your plus size wedding guest outfits can either enhance or detract from your wedding guest attire. When it comes to jewelry, striking statement pieces such as necklaces or chandelier earrings bring a hint of elegance, while dainty bracelets or stud earrings provide a subtle charm. It is important to select trendy and comfortable footwear; block heels or embellished flats can offer both style and practicality. Make sure your shoes either match the color of your dress or suit or add a contrasting pop to complement your outfit.

Tiny handbags are perfect for carrying necessities without taking the focus away from your clothing, whereas fashionable crossbody bags can be a useful option for a less formal appearance. Hats and fascinators bring an elegant and classic aesthetic to daytime weddings. Shawls and wraps are excellent for staying covered in colder temperatures or in situations that require modesty.

Rely on your intuition and select the outfit that will help you embody the woman that you are. Have fun looking for the perfect dress!
