When it comes to wedding guest attire, it's important to be mindful of the dress code specified by the couple. While some weddings may call for formal gowns, others may have a more relaxed, cocktail-inspired vibe. "The key is to strike the right balance between looking polished and feeling comfortable," advises Johnson.

For a black-tie optional or formal wedding, opt for a floor-length gown in a rich, jewel-toned hue or a sleek, streamlined silhouette. If the dress code is cocktail attire, a knee-length or midi-length dress in a vibrant pattern or a sophisticated solid color is a great choice. "Regardless of the formality, it's always a good idea to err on the side of elegance," says Johnson.
