Additional Considerations

- The formality of the wedding will dictate the appropriate level of dress.

- If the invitation specifies "formal attire," it is best to err on the side of caution and dress more formally.

- The season and location of the wedding may also influence your attire choice.

- For example, a summer wedding in a tropical climate may call for lighter-weight fabrics and more relaxed silhouettes.

- If you are unsure about what to wear, it is always best to ask the bride or groom for guidance.
