Shopping for a wedding guest look can be stressful, but for a wedding guest abroad it can be quite overwhelming when you’ve lots of different factors to consider, are you going to be walking on sand for a beach wedding? Is the weather changeable where you’ll be going? Will you be on sand or soft grass so you need something that looks great with flat sandals too?
Today’s post covers a variety of different wedding guest abroad styles from the formal to the more relaxed outfit ideas in broad size offerings. If I could give any key tip though about a wedding abroad, if possible bring a “ back up” option to have. I was at a wedding last year and that morning the zip of my dress completely broke leaving panic stations. I had a dress for the day 2 that I made do instead but really I should have brought a back up just in case. And secondly if you are bringing hand luggage try bring your main outfit packed with you to avoid any lost luggage situations - particularly in high seasons or if you have a connecting flights. The below choices are mostly easy to pack in hand luggage for this reason as well.
