Wedding Guest Dresses

Celebrate the newlyweds in style, Spring weddings are the perfect time to wear a bright and fun outfit! When picking out your wedding guest dress, consider the dress code first. Is the occasion casual, semi-formal, or black-tie? For a casual wedding, sundresses are perfect. While for a semi-formal celebration, a cocktail or below the knee dress is common. Lastly for black tie, a floor length gown is required. Be sure to steer clear of any light toned neutral dresses from champagne and cream to gold and tan. Pro Tip: When picking out your dress, make sure it’s not the same color as the bridal party! You can use the invitation as a guide for the colors as well as the vibe of the wedding.

Wedding Gift Ideas

When it comes to gifting we love the 60-20-20 rule! This rule suggests that you allocate 60% of your gifting budget towards the wedding gift while 20% should go towards each of the prewedding events such as a shower or engagement party. Showers are traditionally gift-giving events, so unless stated on the invitation, it is safe to assume you should bring a gift! For the engagement party or engagement shower, the couple most likely does not have a registry yet. We suggest gifting a sentimental or celebratory gift such as champagne flutes or a framed picture of their engagement. Even a set of cake knives and forks to use on the big day makes a great engagement gift! The next party up is the bridal shower, where it is all about the bride! You can not go wrong gifting her items to use during her engagement such as bride earrings or a tote. Initial items as well as gifts for the home make perfect bridal shower gifts. If you are looking for a wedding gift, look no further! Mud Pie’s classic home collections make the perfect gifts. With white details and durable materials, these pieces are sure to last!
